Troubleshooting Problems
Solutions
My computer can’t detect the Scanner or the Scanner doesn’t start scanning.
•• Check the power supply and cable are connected correctly. •• Be sure to restart your computer after the Scanner driver is installed.
Feeding errors and document jams occur in the ADF.
•• Check if the power of the Scanner is turned on . •• Refer to the “Clearing Paper Jams in the ADF” section for removing the jammed paper, and also read the “Paper Handling Precaution“ section. •• Be sure the ADF Cover is closed properly. •• Refer to the “Cleaning the ADF parts” section for cleaning the ADF. •• Check If the Separation Pad appears worn, refer to the “Replacing the Separation Pad” section.
Poor scan quality.
•• Inspect your original(s) if they are distorted or damaged. •• Refer to the “Cleaning the Scanner” section to clean the ADF parts and the Flatbed Glass. •• Verify the scan quality in the software setting and increase the resolution.
White or blank page(s) found.
•• Make sure you have placed the original(s) correctly in the ADF or flatbed as the Scan Source setting. •• Make sure the paper is facing the correct direction.
Vertical lines or stains appear on scanned images.
Double-feeds or scanned images appear skewed, incomplete or cropped.
•• Scan a blank page to verify if the lines or stains continue to appear, clean the Scanner. •• Refer to the “Cleaning the Scanner” section to clean the ADF parts and the Flatbed Glass. •• Refer to the “Calibrating the Scanner” section to calibrate your scanner. •• Place the original(s) correctly in the ADF and flatbed. •• Use the Paper Guides to keep paper straight when feeding. •• Do not exceed the ADF Tray capacity. •• Tick the “Deskew” checkbox in the Scan Size set to “Auto”. •• Check the “Thick Media Mode” checkbox when scanning thick and rigid media.

Troubleshooting (Continued)
38
Problems
Solutions
Deskew doesn’t work properly.
•• Originals with darker backgrounds and dark text are difficult to deskew. Deskew may not work properly when deskewing dark images.
Scanning speed is slow.
•• Adjust the Scanner software to reduce the resolution and decrease the file size. Lower quality settings generally results in faster scanning speeds. •• Scanning takes longer than usual when you enable the Descreen function.
Text created by the OCR software is incorrect.
•• Select a resolution of minimum 300 dpi in the software settings. The OCR software may not always convert all text correctly. Please check the document for any errors that the OCR may have missed. •• The OCR recognition result is generally more accurate with the text-based digital images. Images with mixed content (text, images, and graphics all in the one page) may result less accurate. •• Set the Scanner color settings to “B/W” if the text is black against a white background. •• Check if the quality of the original document is poor through the OCR recognition process.
Scanned images cannot be sent as email attachments.
•• Be sure that you have a default email client installed and configured, in order to use the Email function in the iDocScan Touch application. •• Ensure the scanned images do not exceed email attachment size limitations. •• Maximum of 20 JPEG files can be attached to one email.
The OCR function in iDocScan Touch application cannot be used.
•• Be sure that AABBYY FineReader in the Installation CD is installed in your computer before using the OCR function.
In Long Sheet mode, why it can’t set a resolution higher than 300 dpi?
•• Performing Long Sheet scanning can consumes great deal of system memory, the Scanner is only available with the resolution set to 300 dpi or smaller in the Long Sheet mode to provide the best scanning performance.
Message “Insufficient disk space...” appears.
•• Scanning multi-page documents or at a high resolution can consume a large amount of disk space over time, scanning may stop because of insufficient disk space. Please clear the destination location from time to time.
Troubleshooting (Continued) Problems
Solutions
Memory becomes insufficient and scanning stops.
•• When scanning conditions that consume a large amount of the computer’s memory, scanning may stop due to insufficient memory. Exit the application and change the scanning conditions, such as reduce scanning resolution. •• Make sure your computer meets the memory and other system requirements as specified.
False multi-feed occurs. (D50 only)
•• Although working properly, the ultrasonic detection sensor may report a false multifeed when certain paper or a sticky note attached to document is scanned. In such cases, the “Stop Scanning After Multi-Feed” in the Job Setting must be disabled to allow scanning of this type of document.
Image saved in the multi-page TIFF format cannot be opened by other applications.
•• Not all applications accept the multi-page TIFF format. Applications that do not support multi-page TIFF format will import and display only the first page of the document. •• Open the file using the applications that support the multi-page TIFF format. •• Scanning a large document to multi-page TIFF file or at a high resolution may cause the Scanner to stop working due to insufficient memory of computer. Alternatively you can save as multi-page PDF for a smaller file size.
Files cannot be created.
•• Saving multi-page TIFF images or images at a high resolution will create very large files, make sure you have enough hard disk space to save the multi-page TIFF images. •• Do not attempt to create a multi-page TIFF file that exceed the 2GB limit. If the file size exceeds 2GB, no multi-page TIFF will be created.
