I have completed installation of software and hardware of scanner but still do not work?

Step 1:
To make sure if “Device manager” detect “USB Controllers”. Click the right button on “My computer” then select “Properties”. Click “Device manager” from the panel. If “USB Controllers” is under “Device manager”, go to Step 2, otherwise directly go to Step 3 to keep check.

Step 2:
To check if “Image Device” is under “USB Controllers”. The existence of “USB Flatbed Scanner” under “Image Device” proves the scanner work normally. If your PC does not catch “Image Device” and “USB Flatbed Scanner”, pull out USB cable of scanner from USB port. Plug again or try to plug into another USB port. In the normal condition, pc will catch a new hardware (USB scanner) and ask you to install driver. After installation, please check “Image Device” and “USB Flatbed Scanner” again. In case of failure, the scanner might cause the problem, please contact your vender.

Step 3:
a. Turn on the power.
b. Get into “BIOS Setup” to make sure the USB controller setup is on. (See the manual attached with the main board.) Saving the settled parameter then exit BIOS.
c. Go to Windows 98, when “USB Controller” appears, please conduct Step 2. If the “USB Controller” does not appear all the time, please contact your main board vender.

I use I-Mac, I connect 1236USB with USB keyboard, and it appears “This device is drawing too much power. Please disconnect the device immediately” warning message. Why?

t is due to the USB consumes too much power. USB port only provides electricity of 500mA. When scanner and USB keyboard are used in series connection, it will exceed 500mA. We suggest you to connect 1236USB separately to an USB port on the main board or USB Hub.

I own a scanner with USB interface. My OS is Win NT 4.0. Why the scanner does not work after installation?

Win NT 4.0 does not support USB device, so the USB scanner cannot work in this environment.

Why the scanned file can only be saved to TIF or BMP form, instead of JPG or others?

There are 2 ways to scan: one is “Stand alone”, which is an executive program and only provides TIF and BMP forms. The other is application program of “TWAIN” and “Photo Suite”, which supports various image formats, such as JPG, GIF, TIF and BMP.

Most PC suppliers have replaced printed manual with electronic files. Please find the attached CD for manual.

Why does my flatbed scanner makes a knocking sound and fails to work after power turning on?

This is caused by users who forget to unlock the scanner or failed to unlock the scanner properly. If you don't unlock it, that will prevent the optical module from moving and thus resulting in the noise you hear. Please refer to the scanner's user manual to unlock the scanner.
