Two features of the Scanner Utility program are the scanning lamp controls
and the scanning position alignment utility. The Scanner Utility allows you to turn
the scanning lamp on and off, and define an idle time for the scanning lamp to
automatically turn itself off. Also, it allows you to define the exact position on the
scanning glass where scanning will begin. The scanner lock was designed to hold the
scanning lamp in place during shipping, but some refinement of the initial scanning
position may still be necessary.
The Scanner Utility program does NOT affect the quality of scanned
images. It is only used to establish a connection with the scanner.
Settings that affect the scanned image (i.e., color, size, readability,
clarity, etc.) can be found in the scanner software programs and
Information
especially the TWAIN interface.

The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems is to check all plug
connections. The Action Express icon
indicates if the scanner software is properly launched, and the scanner and computer

In most cases, the scanner doesn't need to be aligned but there are instances
when the alignment might be required. You need to align the scanner only if parts of
the scanned document are missing from any of its edges. For example, the heading of
a document might be missing from the top edge after the document has been scanned.
To align the scanner, follow the steps below:
1. Place a photograph on the top right side of the scanner glass (near the back of
the scanner). Please note that only part of the photograph will be scanned.
2. Right click the Action Express icon on the Windows system tray and select
Scanner Utility.
