The OneTouch scanner software adds the scanner icon to the Windows taskbar (at the bottom right corner of the computer screen). If the scanner icon looks like the one shown in the figure, the scanner is properly connected. Scanner Icon If the icon has a red X through it, the scanner is not properly connected. Please see the next section, "If the Scanner Is Not Properly Connected," for the steps to fix the problem. To check the status of the scanner: 1. Put the mouse pointer on the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar. 2. Click the icon with the right mouse button. The shortcut menu appears. CHECKING IT OUT 15 3. Choose About from the shortcut menu. A dialog box confirms that the scanner is connected properly. The About dialog box shown below is for the 7600 USB scanner. The dialog box for the 7600 Parallel scanner is similar. 4. Click OK to close the dialog box. That's it. Your scanner is ready to scan. See "Scanning By Pressing the OneTouch Buttons" on page 18. IF THE SCANNER IS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED If the scanner icon on the Windows taskbar has a red "X" through it as shown in the figure, the scanner is not properly connected. Check the following possible problems: · Is a cable loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect all cable connections. Make sure all the cables are plugged in securely. · Is the scanner's power light on? If it isn't, plug the power adapter into another electrical outlet. · Are you using an older computer that has 25-pin connectors for both serial and parallel ports? You may have plugged the scanner cable into a serial port instead of the parallel port. Remove the scanner cable from the serial port and plug the cable into the parallel port. · If you are using the Visioneer OneTouch 7600 Parallel scanner, are other devices "daisy-chained" to the parallel port? If so, the scanner must be the first one connected to the computer (with the exception of a Zip 16 VISIONEER ONETOUCH 7600 SCANNER INSTALLATION GUIDE drive or SyQuest drive which must be connected directly to the computer and the scanner then connected to the drive). Plug the scanner into the computer's parallel port first, then plug the next device into the scanner. · Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn't restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer. Please see the Readme file in the PaperPort directory on your computer's hard drive. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems connecting the scanner. To connect the scanner: 1. After checking all of the above problems, place the mouse pointer on the scanner icon with the red X over it and click the right mouse button. The shortcut menu appears. 2. Choose Connect from the shortcut menu. The software finds the scanner and makes the connections. The scanner icon will no longer have a red X through it, and you're ready to begin scanning. If you try all the troubleshooting procedures described above and in the Readme file, and the scanner icon still has a red X through it, you may have a malfunctioning scanner. Please see the technical support card that you received with your scanner for the numbers to call to receive technical assistance.
