If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red “X” through it, 
the scanner is not properly connected.

Check for one or more of these possible problems:

Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely?

 Inspect all cable 

connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely.

Did you restart the computer after installing the software? 

If you 

didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software 
files. Try restarting your computer.

Refer to the PaperPort Readme file. The Readme file contains additional 
information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the 
scanner. From the Windows taskbar, click 

Start

, point to 

PaperPort

and then click

 Read Me

. See also“Troubleshooting” on page 38 for 

more information.

Note

: The scanning lamp under the scanner’s glass needs to warm up 

before you can scan. A status message lets you know when the lamp is 
ready. The lamp then remains ready so you don’t have to wait for it to 
warm up each time you want to scan. To conserve electricity and 
prolong the life of the scanner, you can set the length of time for the 
lamp to remain lit before powering down. See “Setting Preferences” 
on page 25.
