When you try to scan a document or photo, the computer or scanner cannot be found and the scan fails.

One of the following error messages might display:

• An error occurred communicating with the scanner or scanning device

• No Computer Detected or Computer not found

• Scanner not found

• Scan to computer is currently unavailable
