See your Start Here sheet for instructions on setting up your scanner. If you have problems operating the scanner, make sure:

• The scanner is turned on by pressing its On button.

• The power cord is securely plugged into an electrical outlet.

• The power outlet works. (If necessary, test it by plugging in another electrical device and turning it on.)

If you still have problems scanning, see the other topics in this section.

• Wait until the On light stops flashing and remains lit to indicate that the scanner is ready to scan.

• The scanner may not work properly when connected to the computer through more than one hub. Connect the scanner directly to the computer’s USB port or through one hub only.

• The scanner may not work properly when your computer is in standby mode (Windows) or sleep mode (Mac OS X). Restart Epson Scan and try scanning again.

• The scanner may not work properly if you upgrade your operating system but do not reinstall Epson Scan. See Uninstalling Your Scanning Software for instructions on uninstalling and reinstalling it.

• In Mac OS X Classic mode, the scanner may not work properly. Use the Mac OS X interface instead.
