then try to restart the job from the beginning.
Since Unified Linux Driver locks the port while
printing, the abrupt termination of the driver
keeps the port locked and unavailable for
subsequent print jobs. If this situation occurs, try
to release the port by selecting Release port in
Port configuration window.

Ensure the scanner driver for your machine is
installed in your system. Open Unified Linux
Driver configurator, switch to Scanners
configuration, then press Drivers. Make
sure that driver with a name corresponding to
your machine's name is listed in the window.
Ensure the port is not busy. Since functional
components of machine (printer and scanner)
share the same I/O interface (port), the
situation of simultaneous access of different
"consumer" applications to the same port is
possible. To avoid possible conflicts, only one
of them at a time is allowed to gain control
over the device. The other "consumer" will
encounter "device busy" response. This
usually happens when starting a scan
procedure. An appropriate message box
appears.
To identify the source of the problem, open
the Ports configuration and select the port
assigned to your scanner, port's symbol
/dev/mfp0 corresponds to LP:0 designation
displayed in the scanners' options, /dev/mfp1
relates to LP:1, and so on. USB ports start at
/dev/mfp4, so scanner on USB:0 relates to
/dev/mfp4 respectively and so forth
sequentially. In the Selected port pane, you
can see if the port is occupied by another
application. If this is the case, you should
either wait for completion of the current job or
press the Release port button, if you are sure
that the present port applicaton is not
functioning properly.
