Installation  
Installation is a quick, four-step process:  
1. Assemble the scanner  
2. Install the software  
3. Connect the power supply  
4. Connect the USB cable and turn on the power  
BEFORE YOU BEGIN  
Please make sure of the following before you begin installation:  
If your computer has AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software running,  
you may see messages during installation asking you to allow the  
installation to proceed. Although the messages will differ based on  
the software your computer is running, in each case you should  
allow the installation to proceed. Alternatively, you can turn off the  
AntiVirus or AntiSpyware software before installing your scanner,  
but if you do, make sure to turn it back on again when installation  
is finished.  
If you already have a scanner connected to your computer, it is  
recommended that you remove that scanner’s driver program prior  
to installing your Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner. While in some  
cases you can configure your computer to have another  
manufacturer’s scanner operational on your computer in  
conjunction with the Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner, we do not  
recommend this configuration as you may lose some of the driver  
functionality on one, or both of the units. You can remove these  
programs from the Windows Add/Remove programs list. Please  
refer to the user manual provided with your other scanner hardware  
for instructions about removing the driver and software for that  
unit.

10. Select the option you want.  
Note: If your computer is running Windows XP, Microsoft’s  
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface for scanning is always  
available, regardless of your selection on this window.  
Full Install (OneTouch, TWAIN, and ISIS)—This is the  
recommended installation. It installs the OneTouch 4.0  
software which provides the necessary driver software for the  
scanner. It also installs scanning interfaces for TWAIN and the  
ISIS driver. Installing this option means that you can use several  
different methods to scan, as explained in this User Guide.  
TWAIN and ISIS—The TWAIN and ISIS drivers are installed.  
The OneTouch 4.0 Monitor will not run and you cannot use the  
OneTouch features. You can use the Visioneer TWAIN driver to  
scan from TWAIN applications. You can also scan from  
applications that use the ISIS driver. You will not be able to use  
the Scan button on the scanner.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
   
STEP 2: INSTALL THE SOFTWARE  
13  
TWAIN only—The TWAIN driver is installed without the  
OneTouch 4.0 software or the ISIS driver. You can use the  
Visioneer TWAIN driver to scan from TWAIN applications.  
You will not be able to use the Scan button on the scanner.  
ISIS only—The ISIS driver is installed. You can use applications  
to use the Scan button on the scanner. You will not be able to use  
the Visioneer TWAIN driver.  
Note: If you decide to change your scanner’s installed drivers later on,  
you must first uninstall the drivers the scanner is currently using. See  
To Install Another Driver” on page 146.  
11. Click Next.  
During installation of the driver you will see this window asking  
you to select an image for your Color Space setting.  
The Color Space setting sets the gamma value for the scanner so  
scanned items look good on your monitor. Gamma controls the  
brightness of the midtones of colors. That setting can be changed  
later on as you’re scanning.  
12. Select the option that looks best to you and click Next.

SCANNING BASICS  
You can use your Visioneer Patriot 780 to scan a single page, or stacks of  
documents using the Automatic Document Feeder.  
Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents  
before inserting them into the scanner. Staples and paper clips can jam  
the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Also remove  
any labels, stickers, or Post-It™ notes that may come off during the  
scanning process and get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as described here  
will void your scanner’s warranty.  
LOADING A STACK OF DOCUMENTS  
1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper.  
2. Make sure the paper guide extension is up, and also flip up the  
paper stop.

ABOUT THE ONETOUCH BUTTON PANELS NAMES AND ICONS  
The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original  
factory settings for a button. For example, the eMail button is set up to  
scan documents then immediately attach them to a new eMail message  
in your default eMail program. But you can change the name, the  
Destination Application, and any of the other aspects of the button.  
A question mark for a button means your computer does not have  
appropriate software for the initial factory settings (Fax software in the  
example above). In that case, you would probably want to change the  
name and Destination Application to something else. For example, if  
you scan a lot of documents that have faint images, such as hand-drawn  
sketches in light pencil, you might want to change the button’s name to  
Sketches, and the Destination Application to Microsoft Paint®, or  
some other drawing program.  
A folder icon for a button, such as shown for buttons 1, 2, and 7, means  
that the scanner sends the scanned image to the default folder at  
OneTouch Archive\PDF Documents without first opening it in a  
Destination Application. To see the scanned image, open the file using  
the appropriate application for the file’s format. The file will be named  
with the current date.  
See “Selecting New Settings for a Button” on page 40 to change the  
settings of the buttons on the OneTouch Button Panel.

SELECTING PAGE FORMAT OPTIONS  
The Page Format option that you select determines the file format of  
the scanned document. Appropriate page format options and file types  
are available for the type of Destination Application selected for the  
button.  
The available options are for images and text.  
Image Formats.  
Text Formats; sPDF is only one  
of several text formats available.  
The Text Formats are for text file types. The names of the formats  
indicate their file types. See “Text Formats” on page 52 for details.  
IMAGE FORMATS  
Select an image file format for photos, artwork or other documents that  
you want to save as images. BMP and TIFF are standard image file  
formats generally used if you want to do additional image processing,  
such as photo touch-up or color correction. Both of those file formats  
tend to be larger than the JPEG format.  
Because JPEG image files can be reduced in size, the JPEG format is  
often used for images on web pages, or if file size might be a problem  
when electronically sending the files. JPEG files are reduced in size by  
lowering their image quality, and you can select the degree of quality for  
your scanned images from the JPEG file format icon.

The PDF format is often used to create images of text pages. You may  
want to select PDF as the page format when scanning text pages that do  
not require OCR processing or other processing. The PDF format is  
also used to put multi-page documents on web sites as pdf-readable  
or quality.  
Note: The two other PDF formats—nPDF and sPDF—are for  
scanning with OCR processing and with the ability to search the  
scanned text. See the next section, “Text Formats,” and also “Scanning  
with sPDF or nPDF and Searching for Text” on page 86 for details.  
To select a JPEG or PDF file size:  
1. Select JPG or PDF as the page format.  
2. Right-click on the JPG or PDF icon.  
A menu opens.  
3. Choose the file size/image quality option for your scanned images.  
Minimize Size—Smallest file size, lowest image quality.  
Normal—Medium file size, some loss of image quality.  
Maximum Quality—Largest file size, no loss of image quality.  
Your selection pertains only to the button currently selected on the  
OneTouch Properties window. Other buttons that have JPG or  
PDF selected as the Page Format are not affected, so you can set the  
JPEG or PDF file size/image quality independently for each button.

Create copies of scanned documents—Sometimes the image of a  
scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its  
Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may  
want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.  
For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the  
scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the  
email, and the email is sent. Later, the temporary file of the scanned  
picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan  
directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned  
item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by  
selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you  
can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your  
hard drive.  
The copies will be saved in the folder specified in the Folder Copy  
Options section (see the figure on page 59 and the description  
below).  
This option is not available if either the Document Management  
or Storage and CD-R/W options are selected because, by default,  
file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already  
automatically saved in the folder for copies.  
For that reason, this option is not available for the default settings  
of OneTouch Buttons 1, 2 and 7. Those buttons are set as Transfer  
to Storage with the Destination Application type set as Storage and  
CD-R/W.  
Folder Copy Options—This section of the dialog box sets the  
location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want  
to group them.  
Click the Browse button and find the folder for the copies. Select  
the grouping option for the documents. The Group by button  
option groups the documents under the name of the OneTouch  
button. For example, if the button is named Printer, the documents  
are grouped under the name Printer. Group by type arranges the  
scanned documents by the type of file, such as .doc or .jpg. If you  
also want to group them by date you can choose the week and  
month options.

5. Select scan settings for the new scan configuration.  
Mode—Select a scanning mode:  
Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters  
and memos are usually scanned in black and white. This scan  
mode produces the smallest file size.  
GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing drawings  
or black and white photographs. This mode produces an image  
of up to 256 shades of gray.  
Color to scan color photographs and other color items. Color  
scans have the largest file size.  
Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots  
per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600  
dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper  
and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take  
longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.  
Brightness and Contrast—Sometimes an item is scanned with the  
brightness and contrast set too light or too dark. For example, a  
note written with a light pencil may need to be scanned darker to  
improve legibility.  
Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast  
is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image.  
The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter  
and darker shades in the image.  
Drag the sliders to the right or left to adjust the brightness and  
contrast of the scanned image. The Contrast setting does not apply  
to the Black&White mode.

SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)  
Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a  
scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with  
the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort,  
calculate, and so forth.  
Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original  
factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When  
scanning with other settings, use at least 300 dpi for the resolution. If  
the original documents are of poor quality or have a small type font,  
400 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.  
You must have the OmniPage Pro software installed on your computer  
in order to use the OCR options with the OneTouch 4.0 software and  
your scanner. OmniPage Pro is on the Disc 2 CD that you received with  
your scanner in case you haven’t installed it yet.  
If OmniPage Pro is installed, the OCR process is automatic when the  
page format on the OneTouch Properties window is a text format, such  
as DOC, TEXT, XLS, HTML, and RTF.  
To scan with OCR:  
1. Load the pages into the scanner.  
2. Open the OneTouch Button panel.  
Button 6 (OCR) is preset for converting scanned documents to  
editable text.

3. Click Button 6 (OCR), or if you’ve set up one of the other buttons  
for scanning with a text format, click it instead.  
Make sure the Destination Application is set to  
scan with one of the text formats.  
Your scanned pages appear in the Destination Application with  
their text ready for editing and other text processing.  
Note: OCR scanning is also for spreadsheets so you can work in  
Microsoft Excel (or other spreadsheet applications) with the figures  
and text from the original spreadsheets.  
SELECTING OMNIPAGE OCR OPTIONS  
OneTouch 4.0 and OmniPage Pro work together to combine scanning  
with OCR processing into one integrated step. You can select a range of  
options for the OCR process.  
Note: OmniPage OCR options apply globally to all the OneTouch  
buttons that perform OCR. For example, Button 6 is set by default to  
OCR text, but Button 8 is not. If you reconfigure Button 8 to also  
OCR text, the OCR options you select for Button 8 will also apply to  
Button 6.  
To select OmniPage OCR options:  
1. Open the OneTouch Properties window.  
2. Using the arrows, choose a button that has Destination  
Applications that use the text format as their file type.  
3. Select the Destination Application to get one of the text format file  
types as the page format.

The dictionary icon indicates a language with dictionary support  
available. The dictionary is consulted to help in the OCR process.  
It can also offer suggestions during proofing.  
User Dictionary—A user dictionary is your personal dictionary  
with words that you want the OCR proofreading process to  
recognize as legitimate words. For example, if you scan documents  
with highly technical terms not found in typical dictionaries, you  
can add them to your personal dictionary. You can also add names  
that you expect to be in the documents too. That way, when the  
OCR process proofreads the text, names will not be considered  
misspelled words.You can create multiple user dictionaries.  
Click the menu arrow and select a user dictionary from the list. Any  
Microsoft Word user dictionaries detected on your computer  
system are also listed. A dictionary named Custom is your default  
Word dictionary.  
To create a user dictionary, click the button next to the menu arrow.  
Click New, type a name for the dictionary, and click OK. Click  
Close and then choose your new dictionary from the list. It will be  
used during the OCR process. You add words to a dictionary  
during the proofreading process. To turn on the proofreading  
process for your scanned documents, see the OmniPage Pro  
documentation.  
Professional Dictionaries—These are legal and medical  
dictionaries containing highly specialized words and phrases. The  
options are: Dutch Legal, Dutch Medical, English Legal, English  
Medical, French Legal, French Medical, German Legal, and  
German Medical. Click the checkbox next to a dictionary name to  
select it.  
Reject Character—This is the character that the OCR process  
inserts for an unrecognizable text character. For example, if the  
OCR process cannot recognize the J in REJECT, and ~ is the reject  
character, the word would appear as RE~ECT in your document.  
The ~ is the default reject character.  
Type the character you want to use in the Reject character box. Try  
to choose a character that will not appear in your documents.

Single column no Table—Choose this option if the document  
contains only one column of text and no tables. Business letters are  
normally in this form. You can also use this option for documents  
with words or numbers in columns if you do not want them placed  
in a table or decolumnized or treated as separate columns.  
Multiple columns, no Table—Choose this option if some  
document pages contain text in columns and you want it kept in  
separate columns, similar to the original layout. If table-like data is  
encountered, it is placed in columns, not in a gridded table.  
Single column with Table—Choose this option if your document  
contains only one column of text and a table. The table will be  
placed in a grid in the text editing application you have selected.  
You can later specify whether to export it in a grid or as tab-  
separated text columns.  
Spreadsheet—Choose this option if the entire document consists  
of a table that you want to export to a spreadsheet program, or have  
treated as a table. No flowing text or graphics zones will be  
detected.  
Template—If you created a zone template in OmniPage Pro,  
choose a zone template file to have its background value, zones and  
zone properties applied to all OCR scanned pages from now on.  
No Formatting (NF)—The document will be plain text,  
decolumnized and left-aligned in a single font and font size. You  
can export plain text to nearly all file types and target applications,  
and graphics, tables and bullets can be retained. When exporting to  
Text or Unicode file types, graphics and tables are not supported.  
Retain Fonts and Paragraphs (RFP)—This output format retains  
the font and paragraph styling, including graphics and tables  
without columnized text. This output format is available for nearly  
all file types.  
Flowing Page (FP)—This format keeps the original layout of the  
pages, including columns. This is done wherever possible with  
column and indent settings, but not with text boxes or frames. Text  
will then flow from one column to the other, which does not  
happen when text boxes are present.

SCANNING WITH SPDF OR NPDF AND SEARCHING FOR TEXT  
Searchable PDF (sPDF) and Normal PDF (nPDF) are special forms of  
an Adobe PDF file. sPDF converts scanned text into the PDF format  
with text search and OCR capabilities. nPDF has those same features,  
plus you can edit the text in an nPDF image if you have a PDF editing  
program.The two PDF formats can also produce images with different  
image quality, so you may want to experiment with them to determine  
which is better for your scanned documents. sPDF and nPDF are only  
available as page format options if you have installed OmniPage Pro on  
your computer.  
Note: If you did not install the OmniPage Pro software as part of the  
scanner installation, and you choose to install it at this time, you may  
have to restart your computer before the sPDF and nPDF formats are  
available in the OneTouch software.  
Note: Buttons 1, 2, and 7 are set up to scan directly to a storage  
location on your computer. When scanning to storage, all file  
types—including sPDF and nPDF—are available.

configurations are already set up to send the scanned images to the  
proper storage location where the Windows XP CD writing wizard  
can find the files to burn to the CD. Likewise, when you create a  
custom configuration for CD burning, the OneTouch software will  
automatically make sure the storage location is correct.  
To create a custom configuration for CD burning, select Burn to CD  
as the Destination Application, then click the New button and create  
the new configuration. You won’t need to select a storage location  
because it will be correctly preset for you by the OneTouch software.  
Note however, that if you have created other custom configurations  
with different storage locations (for example, see “Scanning to  
Multiple Folders” on page 70), do not use them for the Burn to CD  
Destination Application. Otherwise, the Windows XP CD writing  
wizard will not be able to find the images to burn onto the CD.

Scanning with the  
TWAIN Interface  
SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE  
In addition to using the OneTouch Button Panel to scan, you can also  
scan using the TWAIN interface. Many applications can use TWAIN  
for scanning.  
A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a  
widely recognized procedure that computers use to receive images from  
scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. Because the TWAIN  
interface is essentially the same regardless of the software you use to  
open it, you can still use the instructions in this User’s Guide for  
scanning with your Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner. The steps below show  
the basic process to open the TWAIN interface, but to open it in  
specific software applications please refer to their user’s guides, then  
return to this User’s Guide for the steps to scan.  
Note: If the OneTouch configuration you are using to scan is set to  
Configure Before Scan, and the selected option is TWAIN, the  
TWAIN interface opens right away. You don’t need to open it from  
another application as explained in the following steps.

SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE 105  
THE BASIC STEPS TO OPEN THE TWAIN INTERFACE  
Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific steps  
to open the TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the same for most  
of them.  
To scan with the TWAIN Interface:  
1. Open an application that is TWAIN-compliant.  
Applications that are TWAIN-compliant include Microsoft  
PowerPoint and Microsoft Word, and many other graphics  
applications and word processing applications.  
2. Use the application’s command that opens the TWAIN interface.  
For example, in Microsoft PowerPoint, from the Insert menu,  
choose Picture then choose From Scanner or Camera. Click the  
drop-down menu and choose Visioneer Patriot 780. Then click  
Custom Insert. Note that your scanner may be listed twice. One  
listing is for choosing TWAIN Interface, the other is usually for  
choosing the WIA Interface. See “Scanning with the WIA  
Interface” on page 123 to scan from WIA.  
Other applications have steps similar to PowerPoint’s.  
3. The TWAIN Interface will open. If you’ve already scanned using  
TWAIN, the interface that opens is the one you used previously to  
scan.  
Please refer to an application’s user guide for the appropriate steps to  
open the TWAIN Interface for your scanner.

ADJUSTING THE RESOLUTION  
Resolution determines the amount of detail you can see in the scanned  
image. The resolution setting for a scan is in dots-per-inch (dpi). The  
higher the resolution, the finer the details. However, higher dpi settings  
also take longer to scan and produce larger file sizes. Usually the higher  
resolution settings are used for precision work, such as photographs or  
fine artwork.  
The following figure shows the resolution options.  
Note: The location of various buttons on the panels may be slightly  
different on your Advanced Interface window. The appearance of the  
window depends on your computer monitor’s screen resolution.

Maintenance  
This section contains information about maintenance, troubleshooting,  
uninstalling, scanner specifications, and spare parts.  
CLEANING THE SCANNER GLASS  
Scanning items that have excessive amounts of dirt or dust may dirty the

Document Feeder, a warning dialog box opens after a few moments.  
To clear a paper jam:  
1. Press the ADF cover release on the scanner body to open the

CARE AND MAINTENANCE 139  
CARE AND MAINTENANCE  
Regular maintenance of your scanner can help to ensure continual  
optimal performance.  
CLEANING THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER  
You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if your documents do  
not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.  
To clean the ADF:  
1. Wet a soft cloth with some Isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).  
2. Press the ADF cover release to open the ADF cover.  
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its  
entire surface.  
Note: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is designed  
to rotate in one direction only. As you’re cleaning the roller, make sure  
it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping  
it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction.  
Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the scanner  
to feed pages incorrectly.  
4. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the  
cloth on the springs on either side of the pad.  
5. Close the cover when you’re finished.

part. Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication  
that the pad is wearing thin.  
See the “Visioneer Patriot 780 Scanner Parts List” on page 148 for  
ordering information.  
To replace the ADF Pad assembly:  
1. Open the ADF cover. The pad assembly is located inside the ADF.  
2. Squeeze the plastic clamps that hold the pad assembly in place and  
lift the pad up and out. Reverse the procedure to replace the new  
pad into its slots.

TROUBLESHOOTING 141  
TROUBLESHOOTING  
In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this  
section, please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The  
Readme file contains additional information that may help you  
diagnose problems with the scanner.  
If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and  
in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, you may have a  
malfunctioning scanner. Refer to the technical support card that you  
received with your scanner. Also visit our web site at www.visioneer.com  
for additional technical information.  
Problem: The scanner won’t scan. What’s wrong?  
Check for one of these possible problems:  
Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable  
connections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.  
Is the scanner’s status light on? Turn on the scanner’s power. If the  
status light doesn’t come on, plug the power supply into another  
electrical outlet.  
Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you  
didn’t restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software  
files. Try restarting your computer.  
Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you’re using a USB  
hub to connect the scanner, the hub must have its own power supply.  
If the hub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner into  
a USB port on the computer.  
Did you select another scanning source in the scanning  
application? If you use multiple devices with your computer you  
may have selected another source for images. Start the application  
and then make sure Visioneer Patriot 780 is selected as the scanner.

VISIONEER PATRIOT 780 SCANNER USERS GUIDE  
Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If  
installation finishes, the scanners OneTouch 4.0 options do not  
seem to work properly. What do I do?  
A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your  
and OneTouch options, and you need to remove those other drivers and  
re-install your Visioneer Patriot 780 scanner. Please see the  
documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to  
remove its driver programs. You can also use the basic steps in the  
section “Uninstalling Your Scanner” on page 145, but in Step 3, instead  
of uninstalling OneTouch 4.0, uninstall the other scanner’s driver  
programs. After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver programs,  
uninstall OneTouch 4.0 using the steps on page 145, then reinstall it  
using the steps on page 9.  
Problem: The paper jams the ADF. How can I keep the paper from  
jamming so often?  
To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper  
the ADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If paper jams  
are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft cloth  
dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller  
can make it appear worn and will cause issues feeding paper. See  
“Cleaning the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 139 for cleaning  
instructions.  
Problem: The ADF won’t feed pages properly. How can I fix it?  
the same time. Try cleaning the roller first. See “Cleaning the Automatic  
Document Feeder” on page 139. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the  
pad assembly may need to be replaced. It is user-replaceable. See  
“Visioneer Patriot 780 Scanner Parts List” on page 148 for the ordering  
number. See “Replacing the ADF Pad Assembly” on page 140 for the  
steps to replace the pad.

TROUBLESHOOTING 143  
Problem: The paper jams about halfway through the scan. How can  
I keep this from happening?  
Check the flatbed glass to make sure no items are on it when you scan  
from the ADF. Multiple items placed on the flatbed glass will raise the  
lid slightly, thus preventing the pages feeding through the ADF from  
touching the glass. When that occurs, the pages are unable to feed back  
out of the ADF and the pages can jam.  
Problem: The motor runs but doesn't feed the paper. How can I fix  
it?  
Make sure the paper is securely seated in the ADF so the paper rests on  
the rollers. The paper sensor that initiates the rollers to grab the paper  
may be engaged, but the paper may not be fully in the ADF tray so the  
rollers cannot grab a page to feed it through.  
Problem: The scans from the ADF are always crooked. What do I  
need to do to get the scans straight?  
Make sure to align the paper guides to the edges of the paper. If you are  
scanning small items that are smaller than the paper guides’ minimum  
adjustment, scan these items on the flatbed glass instead.  
Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the  
scanner does not reconnect when the USB cable is plugged back in.  
Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.  
If the scanner does not reconnect:  
1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.  
2. Restart your computer.  
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.
