[Windows XP] Using the scanner without restarting Windows
If you start Windows XP and you turn on your scanner after, normally you will not be able to use it.
It will require that you restart Windows to use your scanner.
To avoid this:
Turn on your scanner.
Make a right-click on
My Computer/ Manage.
Select Device Manager
In the right window, select the first element
(My computer).
Right-click on the
Scan for hardware changes
It should be fine.
