  2. Restart: Turn off the scanner and restart your computer to clear the port buffers.
  3. Reconnect: Plug the cable directly into a different USB port, avoiding external hubs.
  4. Verify: Open ScanSnap Home to confirm the status has changed to 'Ready'.

Prevention and Maintenance

Always use the original USB cable provided with the device. Avoid abrupt disconnections while the unit is scanning and keep your firmware updated to ensure driver stability.
