Doxie Pro is plugged in, but the software still shows "No Scanner Connected".

Make sure Doxie Pro is successfully connected to your computer.

Doxie Pro needs to be connected to power and to your computer in order to scan. When Doxie Pro is successfully connected to your computer, you'll see this icon in the top-right corner of Doxie Pro's control panel.

A solid black box with D-O-X-I-E in white, lowercase writing, and a white squiggle in the top corner. The squiggle is boxed in light blue.

If you don't see the squiggle icon on your Doxie Pro's control panel, double-check the cord that's connecting Doxie Pro to your computer. If you can, try a different USB port. If you're using a USB hub, try plugging Doxie Pro directly into your computer instead.
