Scanning is Slow
If scanning becomes slow, try these solutions:
Scan your original at a lower resolution, if possible.
Make sure your system meets the requirements for your operating system. If you are scanning a highresolution image, you may need more than the minimum requirements, such as a Hi-Speed USB port.
If necessary, increase your system's memory.
If you are running virus protection or other security software, exclude the TWAIN.log files from
monitoring or set the TWAIN.log file as read only (Windows). See your virus protection or security
software instructions for details. The TWAIN.log file is saved in the following locations:
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Local Settings\Temp
Windows (other versions): C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Local\Temp
If you are scanning using DIGITAL ICE Technology, turn off the feature; scanning takes longer using
DIGITAL ICE Technology.

Use only the type of power source indicated on the AC adapter's label, and always supply power
directly from a standard domestic electrical outlet with the AC adapter that meets the relevant local
safety standards.
When connecting this product to a computer or other device with a cable, ensure the correct
orientation of the connectors. Each connector has only one correct orientation. Inserting a connector
in the wrong orientation may damage both devices connected by the cable.
Avoid using outlets on the same circuit as photocopiers or air control systems that regularly switch on
and off.
If you use an extension cord with the scanner, make sure the total ampere rating of the devices
plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the cord's ampere rating. Also, make sure the total
ampere rating of all devices plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the wall outlet's ampere
rating.
Never disassemble, modify, or attempt to repair the AC adapter, scanner, or scanner option by
yourself except as specifically explained in the scanner's guides.
Do not insert objects into any opening as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts.
Beware of electrical shock hazards.
If damage occurs to the plug, replace the cord set or consult a qualified electrician. If there are fuses in
the plug, make sure you replace them with fuses of the correct size and rating.
Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions: The AC adapter or plug is damaged; liquid has entered the scanner or the AC
adapter; the scanner or the AC adapter has been dropped or the case has been damaged; the
scanner or the AC adapter does not operate normally or exhibits a distinct change in performance. (Do
not adjust controls that are not covered by the operating instructions.)
Unplug the scanner and the AC adapter before cleaning. Clean with a damp cloth only. Do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.
If you are not going to use the scanner for a long period, be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the
electrical outlet.
