The common problems that people run into would be; not unlocking the scanner before use and damaged scanners either by shipment or dropping it before installation. To install a scanner follow the steps below: This one is very simple. Simply load the cd and follow the instructions, plug in with computer running when it ask for that to be done. Option B: Now there are many ways to install a device or software for the device. The most common method is through the control panel. I will show you the manual install under Windows and the Plug and Play way. Plug and Play- With windows detecting your new device you have installed you will be prompted for location of the device driver. In windows you can choose to search for driver or review a driver list windows has set up. The best way to go about this is to have your manufacturers CD/Floppy disk ready and in a drive. Choose "Search for a better driver". The next dialog box will give you a list of a floppy, CD-ROM, and so on. Choose the installation media type you are using and click "next". Now when if your unsure of the location of the software on the disk is usually in a INF. file type. Also look in any corresponding folders for example win95 or win 98 and even drivers. Refer to your software documentation if you cant find it. Windows will also tell you if there is information about your device in the next dialog box. Now that you chosen the drive simply hit "ok" or "next". If you found the right driver you will see a dialog box with the new information in it.
