Firmware upgrade failure.
A power failure could interrupt an ongoing firmware upgrade process. The scanner will not run correctly after an interrupted
firmware update process. Only part of the intended firmware may be loaded, rendering the scanner inaccessible. You need reboot

Safe Mode
.
Confirm
Safe Mode
: Open WIDEsystem
– double-click the WIDEsystem scanner icon on your system tray. The
“Scanner:”
field
should show
“Scanner is in Safe Mode”.
Follow the steps for
firmware installation

:
Safe Mode
is only for repairing a corrupted or interrupted firmware installation. Do not attempt to use the scanner
when it is in
Safe Mode
.
