My scanner isn't working?

Potential problem is:\n\nDriver, connection, IRQ, software, compatibility of driver and operating system.  Without specific error message, it is hard to find out why your scanner is not working.

Your printer copier scanner sounds like it needs service. If you have a warranty take it back to you place of purchase. If you do not have a warranty, send it in for service. Fiddling around with it will most likely break it. If your not a service tech and know nothing of low voltage circuits I suggest you do what I suggested above.

First and foremost, check Device Manager.  If there are no scanner references, I'm not sure what version of Windows you're running, but try running msconfig   It's a utility that comes with some Windows versions that lets you choose which services run on bootup.  There may be a scanner service that loads aoutomatically under the surface.  \n\nIf that doesn't work, send me an e-mail, give me the exact error message, word for word, and the version of Windows you have and I'll see what I can find out.

jim, i think you have to upgrade your device driver for your scanner since you mentioned that you're using WinXP.\n\nyou're scanner is not using the current device driver for WinXP so I suggest you find one that works.\n\nalthough your WinXP recognizes your scanner in its list of devices, the applications/software which use the scanner doesn't recognize the scanner.\n\ni also suggest you visit this website:\nhttp://www.experts-exchange.com/Hardware/Scanners/Top_Solutions_4.html

None!  Get a printer and seperate scanner.  The printer part is usually not up to par.  Communication can be ambigous (talking to printer or scanner) although not as bad with Mac.  And come on, it's not that hard to scan an image and print it out.  When one breaks, you replace the broken one.

First of all, did it install correctly? Is it enabled in your browser? Go to Internet properties in the tools menu and see if it is...if not, delete it, and then re-install it and use the tool that java has that lets you know if Java is installed and working on your computer. Just click the link that says something like "test your java software" .\n\nIts been a while since i've done it, but i had the same problem.\n\nlook for a link on the Java website that lets you email for customer assistance.

do a search on the internet for the brand name of your scanner.  You can sometimes even put in the model number along with the name of it and it will bring up a page to download the drivers.  I hope this helps!

Do you use Outlook Express? If not, I don't know why it would appear on your scanner. As far as I know, you can't scan something to send via Yahoo mail. Maybe someone else will have a better answer.

You scanner should have come with software to extract text (it's called OCR software). If the scanner's software isn't installed and you don't have the CD try downloading it at the scanner's manufacturer's website. If the manufacturer doesn't offer the software try searching Google for "free OCR software", or go to other scanner manufacturer's websites and see if you can download it free from them--since most of this software extracts text from a picture file, not directly from the scanner.\n\nAs for printing in certain areas, I have never seen software that lets you do this easily, but it probably exists. If it does exist, I would imagine it would use a picture file, not a text file. Try searching Google for it if the OCR software you find doesn't have this feature. \n\nJust remember to put the paper in the printer the right way. ; )

I really need more information. What were you doing at the time your scanner crashed? Was something else running while you were installing your scanner. If so, that could be the reason you scanner crashed. Also, when you install something, you are supposed to TEMPORARILY DISABLE your anti virus and any firewall that you have. After the installation, re-enable both programs.

All I know is that some scanners (more expensive ones, I'm sure) have an option that you can choose for letters. When you are scanning it, you should be able to choose something like "Word format" or something. It's actually really cool. My dad has one, but again, not all scanners have this option.
