Make sure that:
• the power cord is plugged securely into the back of scanner and the
wall outlet.
• the power supply, green LED is lit.
• the power switch is on.
• the wall outlet is not defective (call a licensed electrician).
• the PC was restarted after installing the software.
• photo(s) is making contact with the feed rollers.
If you are feeding several photos in the upright position, and the
transport will not start, it may be necessary to fan the bottom photos so
the feed rollers can grasp the first photo and start the feeding process, or
use the tilt button to rotate the scanner in the downward position.
Check the dpi settings in the Display Properties. The settings should be
set to Normal size, 96 dpi with 32-bit color.
• Be sure the side you want to scan is facing forward (not the input tray).
For more information, see the section entitled, "Getting your photos
ready to scan" in Chapter 4, Scanning Photos.
Rescan and adjust the side guides for the width of the photos you are

contrasting background behind the photograph and rescan.
Clean the rollers. See the procedures in Chapter 5, Maintenance.

procedures" in Chapter 5, Maintenance.

eliminate or minimize streaks.
• Also see the "quick cleaning" procedure in Chapter 6.
• Your PC may not meet the minimum requirements for the scanner.
