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:

  • You cannot scan using the  start button over a wireless connection. Connect the scanner using a USB cable before scanning from the button on your scanner (DS-80W).
  • Check the USB cable connection between the computer and scanner.
  • Check that the correct scanner is selected using the Epson Scan 2 Utility.
  • In Windows, be sure that the scanner is listed under Imaging Devices in the Device Manager.
  • 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.
  • Make sure Epson Scan 2 and other applications are installed correctly. If necessary, uninstall and reinstall it.
