The Scanner Does Not Turn On
Make sure your scanner’s AC adapter is securely connected to the scanner and a working electrical outlet.
Make sure the electrical outlet works. If necessary, test it by plugging in another electrical device and turning it on.
The Scanner Turns Off
Make sure the Power Off Timer is set. For more details, see Power Off Timer Setting.
You Cannot Start Epson Scan
Wait until the blue status light stops flashing to indicate that the scanner is ready to scan.
Make sure the scanner is turned on.
Turn off the scanner and computer, then check the interface cable connection between them to make sure it is secure.
Use the USB cable that came with your scanner or that is indicated in USB Interface.
Connect the scanner directly to the computer’s USB port or through one USB hub only. The scanner may not work properly when connected to the computer through more than one USB hub.
Make sure your computer supports USB.
If you are using any TWAIN-compliant program, make sure that the correct scanner is selected as the Scanner or Source setting.
If you upgraded your computer’s operating system, you need to reinstall Epson Scan. Uninstall Epson Scan as described in Uninstalling Your Scanning Software, then reinstall it as described in the paper manual.
For Windows only:
Make sure your scanner’s name appears under Imaging device without a (?) or an exclamation (!) mark in the Device Manager window. If the scanner’s name appears with one of these marks or as an Unknown device, uninstall Epson Scan as described in Uninstalling Your Scanning Software, then reinstall it as described in the paper manual.
Pressing a Scanner Button Does Not Start the Correct Program
Make sure Epson Scan is installed correctly.

Mac OS X: Make sure you are logged on as the user who installed the scanner software. Other users must first start Epson Scanner Monitor in the Applications folder and then press a button to scan.
