If your scanner experiences hardware problems, the status light turns red and will blink a specific number of
times, then pause for 2 to 3 seconds, then repeat the same number of blinks. The number of blinks between
pauses indicates the type of error code.
In all cases, you should turn off the scanner and check the scanner setup. Make sure the USB cable is plugged into
the scanner and computer. Make sure the power cord is plugged into the scanner and into a wall outlet or USB
port.

attached to the computer. If the scanner still does not connect, re-
boot the computer.
Open the ADF and remove the jammed page.
More than one page is in the scanner. Make sure that an item
hasn't been inserted in the front of the scanner when trying to
scan from the input tray.
The top of the scanner is not fully closed. Close the scanner lid.
Turn off the scanner, re-boot your computer, then turn the scanner
back on. If the problem persists, contact Visioneer Technical
