The scanner does not work.

• 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 the IEEE 1284 standard.

• Check that the scanner is configured correctly 

or the application you want to use to make 
certain that the scanner job is being sent to 
the correct port, for example, LPT1.

The unit scans very slowly.

• Check if the machine 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 analyse 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’s Operating 
Instructions.
