Scanning Problems
Condition
Suggested solutions
The scanner does not work but 
the copy function is ok.
• Make sure that you place the document to be 
scanned face down on the document glass, or 
face up in the Automatic Document Feeder.
• 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 or parallel cable is 
connected properly.
• Make sure that the USB or parallel cable is not 
defective. Switch the cable with a known good 
cable. If necessary, replace the cable.
• If you are using a parallel cable, ensure that it is 
compliant with IEEE 1284 standards.
• Check that the scanner is configured correctly. 
The unit scans very slowly.
• Check if the machine is printing received data. 
If so, scan the document after the received data 
has been printed.
• Graphics are scanned more slowly than text.
• Communication speed slows in scan mode 
because of the large amount of memory 
required to analyze and reproduce the scanned 
image. Set your computer to the ECP printer 
mode through BIOS setting. It will help to 
increase the speed. For details about how to set 
BIOS, refer to your computer User’s Guide.
