Did you install the scanner software and drivers before connecting the
scanner to the PC?

Rita;
Different scanners and manufacturers do it differently.
Check the documentation that came with your scanner.
Otherwise check with the scanner manufacturers website.

You should read the documentation that came with the scanner and follow the
directions contained therein.
Most scanners require that you install the drivers and software *BEFORE* you
connect the scanner for the first time.
