Most significantly, the Scanner Utility Program checks to make sure that the
scanner software is properly installed and the scanner and computer are
communicating with each other.
Two other features of the Scanner Utility program are
the scanning lamp
controls
and
the scanning position alignment utility
. The Scanner Utility allows you
to turn the scanning lamp on and off, and define an idle time for the scanning lamp to
automatically turn itself off. Also, it allows you to define the exact position on the
scanning glass where scanning will begin. The scanner lock was designed to hold the
scanning lamp in place during shipping, but some refinement of the initial scanning
position may still be necessary.
The Scanner Utility program does NOT affect the quality of
scanned images. It is only used to establish a connection with
the scanner. Settings that affect the scanned image (i.e., color,
size, readability, clarity, etc.) can be found in the scanner
software programs and especially the TWAIN interface.

The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems with your
scanner is to check all physical connections. Make sure your scanner is plugged in
and the USB cable is fit snugly into the rear of your scanner and computer.
Secondly, determine the status of your USB hardware and software configuration.
To do this, please run the Scanner Utility program as described below:
