Scanner LiDE 220 - leave it lit?

I bought a scanner LiDE 220 from Amazon and installed yesterday. So far I like it really - especially the Auto Scan function that figures on what you scan and crop it for you. I love it so much that I ordered another today for my wife's computer. I have a question, however. The scanner has no power switch. It is powered by a USB connection and requires no additional energy source. Is it possible to leave it connected to the computer and turned on all the time the computer is turned on, or would it be better to plug the cable into the USB port only when the scan is complete and disconnect the device at another time? So far, I have left it connected all the time. The scanner performs a slight noise when the computer wakes up from sleep, but this doesn't seem to be a problem.

Hi JLSchutt,

It's good to let the USB cable from the scanner connected to the computer at any time; However, if you prefer, you can unplug the cable and just plug in when you want to use the scanner.

I hope this helps!

  • Acrobat 9 Pro refuses to communcate with my new scanner Canon LiDE 220.

    I have been using Acrobat 9 Pro with a scanner Canon LiDE 210 years.  My scanner broke and I replaced it with the 220 LiDE.  I get an error message - 5,155,55 "cannot communicate with scanner.  The scanner works very well with its own software.  I do a lot of scanning and must work quickly - there is not time to "bypass" even in one.  Canon support said that Adobe has stopped supporting twain drivers and that there is a plugin somewhere for that.  I can't find.  Can anyone help?  (Windows 7)

    Hi teresak5103585,

    That's right, that adobe does not support Twain drivers.

    Scan using Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) instead of TWAIN (Windows XP only).

    Acrobat supports Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) drivers. If your scanner is supported by two pilots, then select the WIA driver in the device menu in the dialog box create a PDF from Scanner. Scan the document.

    Kind regards

  • Scanner only works on some computers

    I recently bought a Canon LiDE 220 scanner which is supported by El Capitan according to apple of supported scanners page, but whenever I try to scan on my computer it says "Scanner reported an error. Cannot communicate with scanner ". I installed the Canon software before you try to analyze, and I wonder if that's a problem because it works on two MacBook Pro (Non-retina display) without the Canon software. I restored my computer from a time machine backup I made before I installed the software, and I still had no luck. Any ideas?

    So in summary:

    Does not work on MacBook Pro (Retina Display) OS X El Captain with or without software and drivers from Canon.

    Does it work on MacBook Pro OS X El Captian without Canon software.

    I tried to use a snippet, page printers and preferences system, Capture of Image Scanners and scanner Canon proprietary application all to nothing done.

    Has anyone run into this or know why it works on some computers, but not mine? I love a fix or work around.

    Thanks in advance

    Scanner CanoScan LiDE 220 does not see my printer HP deskjet 5650.

  • Problem with CanoScan Scanner

    Recently, I replaced a defective scanner with a scanner CanoScan LiDE 220. I use this with Dell desktop PC running VIsta 32 bit. The scanner is connected through a USB cable. I can scan pictures to my Adobe software, no problem, but am unable to scan documents and print directly on my Canon PIXMA iP4850-printer. When I use the scan on the scanner button, I get the message "CanoScan IJ Uitility Scan has stopped working". I tried to reinstall the driver software for the scanner and also driver software downloaded from Canon.

    Can someone advise?

    Canon says you could DO what you were trying to do (use it as a copier via your computer) with the current set of equipment?

    I mentioned it to uninstall all software for Canon because... If this system was installed with a different set of devices (especially since they were all same brand, Canon) front and work you desired (in this case a photocopier), you can get rid of all the evidence that for all the involved devices (printer included) and I could argue that even if the printer still prints It could be equally to blame in this way for the problem than anything else as a whole.   It is a full process (scan, pass through the computer and the printer drivers, print) and not only the new scanner.  A clean slate might give a better chance of getting this process at work - if he can.

    It is possible that Canon might be able to work with you for cleaning things so it works - it seems unlikely that it is a matter of 'firewall' any given track and the fact that you stated the Canon software crashes.

    I'm fair to assume that both are connected by USB only - no network cable (wired or wireless) between the computer and the printer device or a scanner?

  • OfficeJet 6700: Attaching the scanner?

    Hello

    How the scanner cover placed on an OfficeJet 6700? The lid seems set in a Grove with a couple of languages that go into the slots when the lid is on the printer as it should be, but if I lift the lid to put a document on the scanner lid slide because it is not attached to the printer with hinges. Any help or information would be appreciated.

    Sincerely,

    Welcome to the HP Forums!

    I see that your scanner cover is is more attached to your HP Officejet 6700. I'm happy to help you!

  • Problem loading aluminum MacBook

    I have an old MacBook aluminum (Late 2008) I've recently returned to service. It was just a machine I would use sometimes when I was too lazy to break my work MacBook Pro. It had been for months without any problem under Snow Leopard (10.6.8) when I decided I wanted it to be less painful to use.

    I opted for the level to El Capitan (it runs 10.11.4), then installed a full clean of El Capitan (Nothing in here I had no elsewhere). Everything went super smooth. I use the machine for a few weeks and just recently ran into problems with the load.

    Symptoms:

    The indicator on the side of the body flashes final light when you press. The operating system reported 99% charge and recharge. The power adapter is orange. It remains like this indefinitely until I take action.

    Temporary workaround solution:

    If I use the machine and drain the battery less than about 70%, hook up, close the lid and leave her be she will hit "99%" and the led turns green. However, if I unplug for a reason, and she goes to the battery, next time I plug her unless I have greatly drained the battery it will load indefinitely.

    Troubleshooting to date:

    I did a reset SMC and the workaround mentioned above. I was unable to perform a test of start-up equipment; I think I need the original Leopard install CD and I'm not even sure that I have at this point. Can I get a copy of Snow Leopard, lying around but if I really need.

    Other info:

    I'm sure that the battery has bad cells; It points to about 20 - 30% charge (hard death). A few years ago, she was dying to 89%; the Apple Store has determined the battery was dead cells and had to be replaced. I replaced the battery with a genuine Apple replacement provided by Genius Bar. I currently have no spare hardware in the machine (while I was playing with the idea of launching a Crucial SSD in there, so I can solve this problem of load).

    Thank you.

  • Libretto W100 cursor problems

    Hello

    I have a lot of problems of cursor on a new Libretto W100. Using the field courses on the display it move it in the opposite on the top of the screen. Then I go to the right below, the cursor moves in the direction towards the top left. The only way I found to stop this problem is a full reboot. And then it works OK, but when I close the lid and leave it alone for two hours, for example, come and activate the problem reappears. I especially don't even touch screens to avoid confusion between the machine. But I can reproduce it consistently.

    Very annoying. Any seen elsewhere or have a solution?

    Kind regards
