Error messages are displayed in two ways. Scanner problems are determined through various display patterns of the Message LED indicator, and sometimes through a message box popping up on your screen. For errors regarding PC system, SCSI connection and so on, error messages are displayed in pop-up message boxes. The following are what they are and the proper responses. </LI> <P><I><FONT COLOR="#0000FF">Error Messages Displayed Via the Message LED Indicator<BR> </FONT></I><B><FONT SIZE=+1>Depending</FONT></B> on the flash count patterns of the Message LED indicator, errors can be classified into 11 conditions. There may be more than one error at the same time and they will be shown in turn. There is a long dark period on the Message LED indicator between errors. The error flash count is as follows. <BR> </P> <TABLE BORDER=1 > <TR> <TD></TD> <TH>Message LED Indicator</TH> <TH>Error<BR> Message</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>1</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 1 time</TD> <TD>EPROM ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>2</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 2 times</TD> <TD>DATA RAM ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>3</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 3 times</TD> <TD>SYSTEM RAM ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>4</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 4 times</TD> <TD>ASIC ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>5</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 5 times</TD> <TD>LINE MOTOR or HOME SENSOR ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>6</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 6 times</TD> <TD>FILTER MOTOR or FILTER SENSOR ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>7</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 7 times</TD> <TD>DCOFFSET ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>8</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 8 times</TD> <TD>LAMP or CCD ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>9</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 9 times</TD> <TD>TPO LINE MOTOR or SENSOR ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>10</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 10 times</TD> <TD>TPO LAMP ERROR</TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>11</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>flashes 11 times</TD> <TD>SCAN MODULE LOCKED or LINE MOTOR SENSOR ERROR</TD> </TR> </TABLE> <P><I><FONT COLOR="#0000FF">Error Messages Displayed in the Pop-up Message Boxes</FONT></I> </P> <TABLE BORDER=1 > <TR> <TD></TD> <TH>Error Message</TH> <TH>Corrective Action</TH> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>1</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>Scanner not found!</TD> <TD> <LI>Check whether the power switch is on or off. </LI> <LI>Check whether the SCSI cable is properly connected or not. </LI> <LI>Make sure the driver is installed. </LI> <LI>Data source may be occupied by another scanner driver, please release the data source by restarting your computer, then re-acquire MiraScan driver again.</LI> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD VALIGN=TOP>2</TD> <TD VALIGN=TOP>Can't find SCSI card</TD> <TD> <LI>Check whether the SCSI card is properly inserted in its slot or not. </LI> <LI>Make sure the power is on.</LI> </TD> </TR> </TABLE> <LI><B>The TextBridge OCR doesn't work.<BR> <FONT SIZE=+1>First</FONT></B> of all, make sure if the TextBridge Setup has chosen the right data source, if not, please run the "Setup" program from the TextBridge program group to get the right scanner source.<BR> Second, set the MiraScan driver scanning mode in B/W Line Art.<BR> To have better character recognition, the driver threshold value has to be properly set.<BR> For Win31and Win95, the default value of threshold is 128. </LI> <LI><B>My computer sometimes crashes while I am using the scanner.<BR> <FONT SIZE=+1>The</FONT></B> different version of TWAIN(from the application software) sometimes may not be compatible with our driver's.
