Suggested solutions
Make sure that you place the document to be scanned face down from the scanner glass, or
face up in the ADF.
There may not be enough available memory to hold the document you want to scan. Try the
Prescan function to see if that works. Try lowering the scan resolution rate.
Check that the USB cable is connected properly.
Make sure that the USB cable is not defective. If necessary, replace the cable.
Check that the scanner is configured correctly. Check the application you want to use to make
certain that the scanner job is being sent to the correct port.
Check if the printer is printing received data. Scan the document after the current job is
completed.
Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
Communication speed becomes slow in scan mode because of the large amount of memory
required to analyze and reproduce the scanned image.
There may be a copying or printing job in progress. When the current job is complete, try the job
again.
The selected port is currently being used. Restart your computer and try again.
The printer cable may be improperly connected or the power may be off.
The scanner driver is not installed or an operating environment is not set up properly.
Ensure that the port is properly connected and the power is turned on. Then restart your
computer.
Check that the USB cable is properly connected.
Suggested solutions
Exit all software applications. Remove all software from the StartUp Group, then restart Windows. Reinstall the
printer driver.
Ensure that the cables are connected correctly and the machine is on.
This message may also appear if bi-directional communication is not turned on in the driver.
Close all other applications, reboot Windows and try printing again.
These messages may appear during printing. Just keep waiting until the machine finishes printing. If the
message appears in standby mode or after printing has been completed, check the connection and/or whether
an error has occurred.
