UPGRADE SCANNER FIRMWARE
MEMORY
STEPS
Check the latest firmware level for Scan! posted at
www.colortrac.com/support.
Switch on Scan! and check fitted firmware level
Obtain an empty USB flash drive of at least 4GB capacity. It
is important the drive contains no folder or files.
Using a Windows computer copy the contents of the
firmware upgrade zip file to the USB stick.
www.colortrac.com/support
Insert the USB drive into scanner USB socket
From the upgrade firmware icon press OK. Upgrading takes
20 seconds. Scan! will restart automatically
Check firmware level has changed to latest level

Description Explanation
Blue light flashes for 1 second every 5
seconds
Scanner is in sleep mode. Press SCAN button to wake scanner or
insert media
Loaded document suddenly moves
through the scanner and is ejected.
Light flashes 1 second every 5
seconds
Scanner has entered deep power save mode. Place paper on tray
then remove it to re-power the scanner
Orange light shows and will not scan
Paper tray is still open and not properly engaged at one or both
ends. Close paper tray.
Scan! starts to scan but then sends
document through scanner faster
than normal when connected to a
computer
Scan! could not find the computer on the same network. Use
‘information’ in the scanner and ipconfig from the command
prompt at the computer to verify that both devices are identical in
the first three frames of the IP address192.168.001.XXX.
Paper size is not detected properly
Scanner glass may be dirty. Inspect and clean if necessary. Note
if the glass was dirty at the time a color calibration was carried out
a perfectly clean scan glass will not help. Check the scan glass is
still clean then color calibrate and try again.
Document is ejected or does not scan
properly using automatic paper sizing
Document is wider than the scanner maximum scan width.
Rotate document if possible or change to largest manual size (D-
size portrait or E-size portrait).
Scans are not being saved when using
the USB flash memory mode
The USB flash memory may be damaged, worn out of poor quality
or incompatible. Change to a different type
Description Explanation / Tip
Dealing with a document that has
loaded skewed or the document is
not lying flat
Do not press Eject or Scan. Instead slightly lower the paper tray
towards the maintenance position (p16), remove the document,
click the paper tray assembly back up into position and reload
Do not feed a document immediately
behind the document still being
processed (held but not yet ejected)
Always allow the previous document
to be ejected before loading a fresh
document
Failing to allow the scanner to finish and eject a document causes
any following document placed in the scanner to be ejected
without being staged ready to be scanned
I find it difficult sometimes to load
larger documents squarely into the
scanner
Grip the paper at each side 2”/ 50mm in from the leading edge.
With the paper slightly in tension (stretched) rest each hand on
the tray so that the leading edge is parallel and ¼”/ 6mm in front
of the white ruler. Now push the document into the scanner.
Why does the scanner not accept any
more than 8 scans when scanning
internally to its own memory
SmartLF Scan! is limited to holding 8 scans internally.
The processing circle icon seems to
continue beyond 1 minute.
Please restart the scanner and try again. If using a memory stick
try a different one.
OPERATING TIPS
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

19
DOCUMENT NO.88N001D Colortrac Ltd © 2015
Pressing the scan button when using
the USB stick does not start the scan
Wait 3 to 4 seconds after inserting the USB stick into Scan! before
pressing the scan button for the stick to be recognised properly
When using the Scan! netapp no
scans are received into the folder
a) Power cycle the scanner
b) Determine the scanner IP address then ping it from the
computer e.g. ping 192.168.001.xxx
c) Is the netapp running?
d) Is a netapp running on a different computer and directing the
scans somewhere else?
e) If b and c are okay uncheck the Scanner Lock checkbox in c or d
to reset the lock (required after a firmware upgrade)
Straight lines and diagonal lines in the
scan images have very small breaks in
them when inspected at high zoom
If the scanner is subjected to strong physical shock or extremes of
temperature during storage or shipment the internal optical
alignment may be altered very slightly. Use the line calibrate
function from the more settings menu and the calibration target
to electronically re-align the scanner.
The color of the image is suddenly
changing very slightly across the
scanner
If the scanner is being used in a room where the temperature is
more warm or cold than normal or different to the environment
where the scanner was last color calibrated then it may be
necessary to recalibrate. Use the color calibrate function from
the more settings menu and the calibration target to
electronically re-set the color in the scanner.
