It is only used to establish a connection with the scanner. Settings that affect the scanned image (i. e. , color, size, readability, clarity, etc. ) can be found in the scanner software programs and especially the TWAIN interface. 12 Connection Status The first step to take when troubleshooting connection problems with your scanner is to check all physical connections. Make sure your scanner is plugged in and the USB cable is fit snugly into the rear of your scanner and computer. Secondly, determine the status of your USB hardware and software configuration. To do this, please run the Scanner Utility program as described below: 1. Click on the START button, then choose PROGRAMS, PLUSTEK USB SCANNER and then SCANNER UTILITY. Once the Scanner Utility window is open, locate and click on the USB button shown below: This will check the status of your USB hardware and software configuration. If there is a problem with the installation, the following message will appear: If you receive the above message, please refer to the Scanning Problems section of Appendix A: Troubleshooting on page 16. If the connection is OK, the following window will be displayed: Aligning the Scanner In most cases, the scanner doesn't need to be aligned but there are instances when the alignment might be required. You need to align the scanner only if parts of the scanned document are missing from any of its edges. For example, the heading of a document might be missing from the top edge after the document has been scanned. To align the scanner, follow the steps below: 1. Place a photograph on the top right side of the scanner glass (near the back of the scanner). Please note that only part of the photograph will be scanned. Select NORMAL from the ALIGNMENT SOURCE drop down menu. Part of the photograph will be displayed in the ALIGNMENT window. Click on the ALIGN POSITION buttons until the top left corner of the scanned photograph aligns with the top left corner of the preview window. Click on the check mark button when the alignment has been completed. Lamp Control The scanner's lamp may be turned ON and OFF manually in the Scanner Utility program. While there, you can also set a timer to turn the lamp off after the scanner has been idle for a designated amount of time. To do this, click on the Windows START button and choose PROGRAMS, PLUSTEK USB SCANNER, SCANNER UTILITY.
