Hi ....

Its always a pleasure to meet someone who has done the initial troubleshooting themself ... so looking at your comments, you have already tried the hardware and the drivers steps ... it shows that the issue is not with the device but something with your system ...

To me, it looks like the necessary files for the scan to work is missing from your system which is USBSCAN.SYS. This is a windows system file which is required by the scan drivers ...

Note: Make sure you are searching the hidden files too as this is a system file and could be hidden.

1. Click 'Start', 'Search' and select 'For Files or Folders'.
   
   
2. At 'Search Results' window, type usbscan.sys in 'Search for files or folders named' field.
   
   
3. At 'Look in' drop-down menu, confirm your computer's hard drive is selected. In most cases, C: is the computer's hard drive.
   
   
4. Click 'More advanced options' link.
   
   
5. Confirm checkmarks appear beside 'Search system folders', 'Search hidden files and folders and 'Search folders'.
   
   
   
   
6. Click 'Search' button.
   
   
7. Once search has completed and if the file does not exist, consult the computer manufacturer.
   
   
8. 1. If the file exists and a message appears while installing the scan driver, direct the installer to the appropriate path. For example, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.
   2. If the file exists and the message appears while scanning, click on the attachment to open Device Manager and check if the scanning device is listed as 'Other'. Then update the driver and direct the installer to the appropriate path. For example, C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers (where C is your computer's hard drive letter).
      
      
9. Close the 'Search Results' window.

1. Click Start.
   
   
2. Right-click My Computer and select Manage. This brings up the 'Computer Management' window seen below.
   
   
   
   
3. Under 'Services and Applications' click Services. This will display a list of services in the right pane of the 'Computer Management' window. A portion of this window is seen below.
   
   
   
4. Scroll through the list to locate and then double-click Windows Image Acquisition (WIA).
   This brings up the 'Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Properties' window seen below.
   
   
   
   
5. Be sure that 'Startup type:' is not set to Disabled. You can choose either Automatic or Manual.
   
   
6. Once you have enabled the 'Startup type:', under 'Sevice status:' click the Start button to start the service.

• Click Start, then Run, and type "stimon.exe" and click OK.

I finally got a solution to my problem, which is the same as this one. When trying to scan via USB, you have to make sure the unit is set to USB. On the top panel just above the LCD display, is 3 buttons, Copy, Fax, Scan. Hit the SCAN button, till the display says USB SCANNING. Then try to scan again. Good luck!!

After refilling the cartridge, the next thing to do is to reset the cartridge. This will clear your printer from displaying common printer errors like U041, U042, U053, U051 and U052.

5. While holding still the Power ON button, press twice the STOP/RESET button
6. Release the Power ON button
7. Wait until it display an "idle" message. It will take about a minute.
8. When "idle" appear, open the top cover to expose the cartridges.
9. Lift up the cover for cartridge holder and take out both the black and color cartridges
10. Return the cover of cartridge holder and turn off the printer
11. Return the top cover and turn on the printer again
12. After the printer initialize, return the cartridges.

For error U162 or U163 All functions of the all-in-one printer will stop and your printer will not work.
1. Turn off your printer an turn it on again
2. After the printer initialize try to copy or print. The error will appear.
3. When the error is displayed on the display panel of the printer, Press and Hold the STOP/RESET button and wait until it self restart.
4. Release the STOP/RESET button the the printer is restarting.
5. Wait for a few seconds and the pending print jobs will commence.
