5.2 Troubleshooting Checklist
Resolution
Connect the USB cable correctly. (When a
hub is used, check the hub's power supply.)
Disconnect and then re-connect the AC cable
and AC adapter.
(Wait at least 5 seconds before reconnecting
the AC or USB cable.)
If the "ScanSnap Manager" icon is not
displayed, with Finder, select the destination
folder where ScanSnap is installed (generally,
you can find "ScanSnap" in "Applications"),
and then select "ScanSnap Manager" to start
up "ScanSnap Manager."
Perform the following:
1. Disconnect and re-connect the AC cable
and AC adapter. If doing so does not
improve the situation, perform step 2.
2. If a USB hub is being used, directly
connect ScanSnap to your computer.
If this does not improve the situation, per-
form step 3.
3. Restart your computer.
If none of the above operations resolves the
problem, uninstall and re-install ScanSnap
Manager.
Close the "Scan and Save Settings" window,
and restart scanning.
Clean the inside of the ADF following the
instructions in chapter "6 Daily Care" (page
87).
Load the document correctly, referring section
"Loading Documents" on page.31.
Adjust "Brightness" in the "Read Mode Option"
window, which you can open by clicking the
[Option] button on the [Scanning] tab in the
"Scan and Save Settings" window.
