Problem:
Your USB port worked with other USB devices, but does not work with the scanner.
Solution:
It is important that you connect the scanner’s power and USB cables in the following order:
1. Plug the power adapter cord into the scanner and into the outlet. The scanner’s power will then be ON.
2. Connect the USB cable to the USB port on the back of the computer.
