TROUBLESHOOTING 97TROUBLESHOOTINGIn addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section,please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The Readme filecontains additional information that may help you diagnose problems withthe scanner.If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and inthe Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, visit our web site atwww.visioneer.com for additional technical information.Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?Check for one of these possible causes:■ Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cableconnections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.■ Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If thestatus light doesn’t come on, plug the power supply into anotherelectrical outlet.■ Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If youdidn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the softwarefiles. Try restarting your computer.■ Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB hubto connect the scanner, the hub must have its own power supply. If thehub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner into a USBport on the computer.■ Did you select another TWAIN source for acquiring images? If youuse multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may haveselected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software and clickthe Scan icon, then make sure Visioneer Patriot 480 is selected as thescanner.Problem: During installation I got the error message: PaperPortInstallation is not complete. What do I do?The installation procedure was not successful. You need to reinstall thePaperPort software.

98 VISIONEER PATRIOT 480 SCANNER USER’S GUIDEProblem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installationfinishes, the scanner’s OneTouch 4.0 options do not seem to workproperly. What do I do?A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on yourcomputer for another scanner. Or you previously had another Visioneerscanner and that driver program is still on your computer. They areinterfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you need toremove those other drivers and re-install your Visioneer Patriot 480scanner. Please see the documentation that you received with the otherscanner for the steps to remove its driver programs. You can also use thebasic steps in the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 102, butinstead of uninstalling OneTouch 4.0, uninstall the other scanner’s driverprograms. After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver programs, uninstallOneTouch 4.0 using the steps on page 101 then reinstall it.Problem: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes I get blankpages, or pages with lines. What’s wrong?The pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. To use AutoCropto Original, the pages must be scanned in straight. Adjust the paper guideson the scanner so pages feed in straight.Problem: The paper jams the ADF. How can I keep the paper fromjamming so often?To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paperbefore scanning, and adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into theADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If paper jams areoccurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft clothdampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller canmake it appear worn and will cause issues feeding paper. See “Clean theAutomatic Document Feeder” on page 95 for cleaning instructions.Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly. How can I fix it?A dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller can causedocuments to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at thesame time. Try cleaning the roller first. See “Clean the AutomaticDocument Feeder” on page 95. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the padassembly may need to be replaced. It is user-replaceable. See “Visioneer
