To fix it, you’ll want to locate the scan menu arrow located next to the scan button. Once you press that you will be given 3 options. You will want to press the Select Scanner option from the list. Choosing this option will bring up another window that will allow you to select a scanner from the list. Be sure to select the correct model of scanner you’re trying to use.

1.3. Restart the computer– If the steps above don’t resolve the issue, then a system reboot is needed. Restarting the computer can help clear up anything that could cause the computer to not communicate properly with the scanner.
