Software Problems
EPSON Scan doesn’t work
properly.
Make sure the scanner’s
READY
light is on.
Check to make sure your cable is
securely connected to both the
scanner and computer.
Try a different cable. If you have a
USB connection, be sure to use
the USB cable that came with
your scanner. If you are using the
optional IEEE 1394 FireWire
interface card, use the cable that
came with the card. If you have a
SCSI connection, try using a high
quality, shielded cable, and be sure
to restart your computer after you
change the cable.
If you have a SCSI connection,
you can’t turn the scanner off and
on again while you’re using your
computer. Turn both the scanner
and computer off, then turn on
the scanner before you turn on the
computer.
Make sure the SCSI interface
board is installed correctly in your
computer.
Check that your system recognizes
your scanner and SCSI board
(Windows only). Check the
System Device Manager in the
Windows Control Panel.
Check for conflicts in your SCSI
ID setting, I/O address, the
interrupt setting for your SCSI
board, and other settings. For
information about the SCSI ID
setting, see “Connecting to a SCSI
Interface” on page 10. For
information about choosing other
settings, see your computer
manual.
If none of these solutions help,
uninstall your software, then
reinstall it. See the instructions for
uninstalling software beginning on
page 70.
