Cannot scan a document.
1. Is there anything displayed in the LCD?
If nothing is displayed, see p. 10-10.

If it is blinking, see p. 10-12.

If displayed, see p. 10-16.

Check that the document is loaded correctly on the platen glass (
p. 2-1).
5. Restart the computer.
6. If using a USB hub or repeater, try connecting the USB cable directly to the computer.
If you can scan when the USB cable is connected directly to the computer, the USB hub or repeater may
be defective. Replace them.
7. After installing the MultiPASS Suite, did you install a TWAIN-compatible application?
If this is the case, the TWAIN system file is replaced with something inappropriate and you will be
unable to scan images. If this happens, reinstall the MultiPASS Suite.
8. Is the machine recognised in the Scanners and Cameras Windows Control Panel (Windows XP
only)?
Follow this procedure to check if Canon MPC200 scanner is in Scanners and Cameras:
1. On the Windows desktop, click [Start], then [Control Panel].
2. In the Control Panel window, click [Printers and Other Hardware], then [Scanners and Cameras].
3. If Canon MPC200 scanner is present, the machine is recognised. If not, remove the MultiPASS Suite
and reinstall.
Computer has hung up or frozen.

Memory may be insufficient. Quit other open applications and try again.
2. Does the hard disk have enough available space?
Check that the hard disk has enough available space, in particular when scanning large documents at
a high resolution. For example, an A4-size document scanned at 600 dpi, full colour requires a
minimum of 300 MB of space.
3. If an error occurs when scanning an image in Photoshop
Change the allocated memory. On the Edit menu, point to [References], then click [Memory & Image
Cache]. Change the Physical Memory Usage to 10% or 20%.
