ISSUE: DR Scanner may not be recognized properly by Windows or the imageFORMULA Utility
DETAILS OF THE PROBLEM: If connecting an imageFORMULA scanner to a computer in which a USB camera is installed, Windows may write inconsistent device IDs to the WIA registry. As a result, Windows might not be able to recognize the installed scanner and the scanner will not scan.
Note:
This issue MAY re-occur when Windows recognizes the scanner as a "new scanner" due to:
- The scanner is connect to a new USB port.
- The scanner's firmware has been upgraded.
SOLUTION:
A "Restoration Tool for Scanner Registry" utility is available to correct this issue. This utility will:
- Investigate whether or not this issue is occurring with your PC.
- If the issue does occur, the utility will repair the issue.
NOTE: If you do not see the "Restoration Tool for Windows Registry" under your scanner's model page, please go to a current model's page (i.e. DR-C225WII) to download it.
USING THE UTILITY
Double-click on the RepairReg.exe file to run the "Restoration Tool for Scanner Registry" utility. The following dialogue box will appear:
Click the START button.
The utility starts to investigate the WIA registry and determine if there is an inconsistency with the device IDs which makes the issue occur.
