"Quick Scan" has been selected.
If scanning is performed when the "Quick Scan" option has been selected, image quality may be degraded. This is because the scanned data is transferred using JPEG compression. If image quality is poor, then perform scanning again without selecting the "Quick Scan" option. ("Quick Scan" is not selected by default.)
Cause and solution If scanning is not possible, shut down your computer, turn off the machines power switch, and unplug the machines power cord. Next, start your computer, restore power to the machine, and try scanning again. If scanning is still not possible, check the following items. Your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant.
If your application is not TWAIN/WIA compliant, scanning will not be possible. Make sure your application is TWAIN/WIA compliant.
You have not selected the scanner driver of the machine in your application.
Make sure that the machines scanner driver is selected in your TWAIN/WIA-compliant application.
Unable to scan the image.
You have not specified all scanning preferences appropriately.
Scanning a large area in full color at high resolution results in a large amount of data and extended scanning times. The scanning preferences should be set appropriately for type of original to be scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph, Color, or Black & White.
There is not enough computer memory.
The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and how much memory in the machine is free. To can a 11" x 17" original in full color at 600 dpi without using enhancement, the dual function board and the 256 MB optional memory (AR-SM5) are required.
You do not have Administrator rights.
To use the machine to scan into Windows 2000/XP, you must log on as an Administrator.
Your computer does not meet the system requirements for the USB 2.0 interface (Hi-Speed mode). Scanner transfer speed is slow
See "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" (p.38) to configure your system as required for USB 2.0, and then set "USB 2.0 mode switching" in the user programs to "Hi-Speed".
