In this case it was just the lid that you normally open, hinged on the

When I opened it and moved the document a tad, it fired right up. I
had the document in place already when I fired up openoffice writer so
I thought it would scan.
Oh Heck no, it expects the sequence:
-start Open Office writer
-open the lid and place document
-close lid
-mouseclick on "insert - picture - scan - select source"
... then it's happy. Who would ever guess? I remain amazed at it all.
I wonder if it's one of those devices that goes to sleep to save power,
by itself (i.e. doesn't need the PC to put it to sleep), and it gets
woken up by the lid switch.
No idea Tim. It was like it needed a RTS/CTS signal for the scan to
happen, which it got by opening the lid. Like the guy with the
soundcard, I was getting desperate and turning the air blue around me.
When I happened to open and close the lid, it worked. Go figure. Ric
