Scanner Not Connected

Doxie Pro is plugged in but the software doesn't see it? Let's fix that.
Doxie Pro is plugged in but software says "No Scanner Connected"
The cable icon on Doxie's screen means it's connected on its end. If the software on your computer doesn't see it, here are a few things to check:
Check Your USB Connection
- Try a different USB port on your computer — a direct connection works best
- If you're using a USB hub, try plugging directly into your computer instead
- Make sure you're using the included USB cable (or a quality replacement)
On a Mac Laptop
On Mac laptops with Apple silicon, go to System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessories and set "Allow accessories to connect" to "Always allow." Mac mini doesn't have this setting, so if you're using one, skip this step.
On Windows
Sometimes Windows picks the wrong driver. To fix it:
- Quit Doxie's software
- Open Device Manager (right-click the Start button > Device Manager)
- Find Doxie Pro, right-click it, and select "Uninstall device"
- Reopen Doxie's software — it will install the correct driver
Still not connecting?
Try restarting your computer with Doxie plugged in — sometimes the USB connection needs a fresh start.
