16 16 Installing and troubleshooting If the parallel cable still does not work, follow these steps (all operating systems): 1 Refer to basic installation troubleshooting. See "Performing basic installation troubleshooting" on page If the power connection is secure, but the software does not find the scanner, check for a device conflict. See "Check for a device conflict" on page If you have checked for a secure power connection and for device conflicts, and the software still does not find the scanner, check for a resource conflict. See "Check for a resource conflict" on page If you have checked the power connection, device conflicts, and resource conflicts, and your scanner is still not working, check the parallel port settings. See "Check the parallel port settings" on page If the troubleshooting information you need is not shown here, refer to the HP Precisionscan Pro Read Me for the most recent information.

17 Installing and troubleshooting 17 Check for a device conflict A device conflict occurs when there is a problem with the exterior connections between the different hardware peripherals. Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows Me: 1 On the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 2 Double-click the System icon. 3 Click the Device Manager tab. 4 Double-click Scanners (Windows 95) or Imaging Device (Windows 98 and Me). 5 If an exclamation point icon or question mark appears adjacent to the scanner name, a device conflict might exist. To remove the device conflict, make sure that only a printer and not any other kind of device is connected to the scanner s parallel port. If the device connected to the parallel port is removed, then shut down and restart the computer. Windows 2000: 1 On the Start menu, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and then click System. 2 On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. 3 Double-click Imaging Devices. 4 If an exclamation point icon or question mark appears adjacent to the scanner name, a device conflict might exist. To remove the device conflict, make sure that only a printer and not any other kind of device is connected to the scanner s parallel port. If the device connected to the parallel port is removed, then shut down and restart the computer. Windows NT 4.0: The parallel port might be experiencing a conflict with another device on the same Interrupt Request (IRQ), or the parallel port setting might not be correct. See "Check for a resource conflict" on page 18 and "Check the parallel port settings" on page 20.

18 18 Installing and troubleshooting Check for a resource conflict A resource conflict occurs when a problem exists with internal connections. Resource conflicts can include either Input/Output (I/O) or Interrupt Request Lines (IRQ) conflicts. An I/O base (Input/Output) conflict occurs when a request is made for a certain resource, and a resource problem prevents that request from being granted. Interrupt Request Lines (IRQs) are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. When you add a new device to a computer, you sometimes need to set its IRQ number by setting a DIP switch. This specifies which interrupt line the device can use. An IRQ conflict occurs when multiple requests are made for the same resource. Check for resource (I/O base and IRQ) conflicts in the Device Manager. Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me: 1 On the Start menu, point to Settings, and click Control Panel. 2 Double-click the System icon. 3 Click the Device Manager tab. 4 Double-click Scanners (Windows 95) or Imaging Device (Windows 98 and Me). 5 Look for an exclamation point in front of the scanner name. The exclamation point indicates a resource conflict. Note: For some computers, the sound card might be trying to share an IRQ with the LPT port. If that is the case, select the Sound Card in the Device Manager, and then click Properties to change its resource settings so that the sound card uses a separate IRQ. For more information regarding these settings, see the documentation provided with your computer.

19 Installing and troubleshooting 19 Windows 2000: 1 On the Start menu, point to Settings, point to Control Panel, and then click System. 2 On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. 3 Click on the plus sign next to Ports (COM & LPT), and double-click the ECP Printer Port. 4 On the Resource tab, look in the Conflict Device List area for a conflict. Windows NT 4.0: 1 On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools (Common), and click Windows NT Diagnostics. 2 On the Resources tab, click IRQ. Verify the numbers listed against the numbers in your computer documentation.
