The scanner doesn't work properly when I press the start button. What should I do?
-
If the scanner button does not start the correct program or perform the correct action, try these solutions:
- Check the USB cable connection between the computer and scanner.
- Make sure Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (OS X) is installed correctly. If necessary, uninstall and reinstall it.
- Make sure you have assigned the correct job to the scanner button and change it, if necessary.
- Check the status of the lights and make sure the scanner is ready to scan.
- When using a wireless connection, start Epson Scan 2 on your computer before scanning from the product (ES-500W).
- Make sure Epson Scan 2 and other applications are installed correctly. If necessary, uninstall and reinstall it.
- Document Capture Pro (Windows) and Document Capture (OS X) do not support using the button to scan over a wireless connection (ES-500W). Connect the scanner using a USB cable or launch Epson Scan 2 before scanning from the button on your scanner.
