How to Use the Scanner Test utility
For Windows 3.1x: Go to the ScanWizard for Windows group window in
1
Program Manager, and double-click on the Scanner Test icon. The Scanner
Test dialog box will appear.
For Windows 95: Click on the Start button to select the "Programs/
Microtek ScanWizard for Windows 95/Scanner Test" submenu. The
Scanner Test dialog box will appear.
Make sure your scanner model is shown in the Scanner Model box (#1
2
element in preceding section). If you have multiple scanners hooked up on
your system, choose the correct scanner model to be tested. Take note of
the following:
• If your scanner is not shown, check to make sure the connection is
secure between your scanner and the PC. You may want to use the SCSI
Check feature (#4 element) to see if your scanner can be detected by the
system. Click on the SCSI Check button to do this.
• If you have a different scanner model than is being shown on the
Scanner Model box, you may have changed your setup since the last
time. To update the system, click on the Reconfigure Equipment button
(#5 element). The correct scanner model should then be displayed on the
Scanner Model box.
• If the above measures still fail to display your scanner model, turn off
your scanner and computer, then wait 2-3 seconds and turn them on
again to reset everything. (Some scanner models may require at least 60
seconds after being turned off before they can be powered up again. If
your scanner model does not come to a ready state, see the Trouble-
shooting section of the manual.)
• Make sure the correct interface card is shown (discussed below in #3).
3 Make sure the correct interface card is shown in the Interface Card box (#2
element). Select from MS-PNR, MS-PCZ, or ASPI (in Windows 3.1x,
choose Adaptec AHA-1520; in Windows 95, select sparrow).
To start the scanner test:
4
• If you only have one image button (showing you the flatbed scanner):
Click on the Image button (#6 element) to start the scan test.
• If you're using a scanner accessory such as a TMA or ADF: Click on
the image button showing the accessory (instead of clicking on the
button showing the scanner). This will activate the scanning action on
both the scanner and the accessory.
When the scan test is successful, the image in your scanner will appear in
the Scanner Test Display above the Image button area. This indicates that
all is well with your scanner. If no image appears, see the Troubleshooting
section of the manual.
Note: If you have an ADF, place a page inside the ADF but remove any
material from the scanner glass. Then press the ADF image button to start
the test.
