Frequently Asked Questions - Patriot P4301D XEROX

How do I install the Xerox Patriot P4301D scanner?

Installation is a four-step process: assemble the scanner (attach input and output trays), install the software from the included CD (PaperPort and scanner driver), connect the power supply, and connect the USB cable. Follow the detailed instructions in the User's Guide for each step.

What scanning methods are available?

You can scan using the physical Simplex and Duplex buttons on the scanner, the OneTouch Button Panel on your computer, the TWAIN interface from any TWAIN-compliant application, or the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) interface. Each method offers different levels of control and destination options.

How do I scan a double-sided document?

Load your document face down into the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). Press the Duplex button on the scanner to scan both sides automatically. You can also configure a OneTouch button for duplex scanning via the OneTouch Properties window.

What should I do if the ADF jams?

Press the ADF cover release on the top-right of the scanner to open the cover. Gently remove the jammed paper. To reduce jams, ensure paper is straight and the guides are adjusted to the paper width. Frequent jams may indicate a need to clean or replace the ADF pad or roller.

How do I clean the scanner's ADF?

Open the ADF cover and use a soft cloth dampened with 95% isopropyl alcohol to wipe the feed roller from side to side, rotating it to clean the entire surface. Also wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the cloth on the springs. Let it dry before closing.

How can I replace the ADF pad assembly?

Open the ADF cover. The pad is located behind the scanner buttons. Squeeze the plastic clamps holding the pad and lift it out. Insert the new pad and press it into place until it snaps. Replacement pads are available under part number 57-0111-000.

What do the scanner status light colors mean?

A steady green light means the scanner is ready. Blinking green indicates waking from power saving. A blinking red light indicates an error; the LED will display an 'E' followed by an error code. For example, code 0 means no communication, code 9 means a paper jam. Refer to the User's Guide for a full list.

Can I scan directly to a PDF file?

Yes. Configure a OneTouch button with a Destination Application that supports PDF (e.g., PaperPort, Transfer to Storage, or Adobe Acrobat) and select PDF as the Page Format. You can also choose Searchable PDF (sPDF) or Normal PDF (nPDF) for OCR capabilities.

How do I change the OneTouch button settings?

Right-click the OneTouch icon in the system tray and select the button you want to modify. In the OneTouch Properties window, choose a new Destination Application, Scan Configuration, and Page Format. You can also rename buttons and create custom scan configurations.

The scanner is not recognized by my computer. What should I check?

Ensure the USB cable is securely connected to both the scanner and computer. Check that the power supply is plugged in and the scanner is turned on. Restart your computer. If problems persist, try a different USB port or cable. For Windows, verify that the device driver is installed correctly in Device Manager.

Scanning

You have several different scanning options with your Visioneer Patriot 430 scanner. Each method scans equally well, so use the one with appropriate options for the item you are scanning.

■ OneTouch Scanner Buttons—When you press either the Simplex or Duplex button, documents are scanned using the scan settings indicated by the LED number. The scanned images are then sent to a software application (known as the Destination Application) on your computer. See “Load Documents to Scan” on page 20.

■ OneTouch Button Panel—Use this scan option when you want to scan from the computer screen. Scanning from the on-screen OneTouch Button Panel is the same as pressing a scanner button, except you click an icon that represents the scanner button. See “Scan from the OneTouch Button Panel” on page 23.

■ TWAIN Interface—This option uses your scanner's TWAIN interface to scan. The TWAIN interface is available from the PaperPort software that you received with your scanner, as well as from other programs such as Microsoft Word. See “Scanning with the TWAIN Interface” on page 69.

■ Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)—If your computer is running Windows XP or Windows Vista, you can use this option to scan with the Microsoft Windows WIA interface. See “Scanning from the WIA Interface” on page 73.

LOAD DOCUMENTS TO SCAN

1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper, and make sure the input and output trays are fully extended.

1. Load the documents into the scanner face down with the tops of the page inserted into the Automatic Document Feeder.

Person printing a document using a printer (no visible text or symbols)

For one-sided scanning press the Simplex button.

For two-sided scanning press the Duplex button.

Note: Always remove any staples or paper clips from documents before inserting them into the scanner's Automatic Document Feeder. Staples and paper clips can jam the feed mechanism and scratch the internal components. Also remove any labels, stickers, or Post-It™ notes that may come off during the scanning process and get stuck in the scanner. Misuse as described here will void your scanner's warranty.

OneTouch is your main scanning interface for using the scanner. The OneTouch LED on the scanner shows which scan setting will be used for scanning. It is scan setting 6 in the example below.

The OneTouch Button Panel that you see on the computer screen shows the pre-set function for each button (such as eMail) and the icons of the applications (called the Destination Applications) where the images will be sent when scanning is finished. In the example below, Button 6 will scan the pages with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) processing and open them in the Microsoft Word application.

You can reconfigure the buttons to have new scan settings, for instance, to send the scanned images to a different Destination Application. See the section, "Configuring the OneTouch Buttons" on page 25.

Note that if you reconfigure a button, the scanner LED will then refer to that new scan setting.

SCAN FROM THE BUTTONS ON THE SCANNER

1. Check the LED number to make sure you're using the scan setting you want.

SCAN FROM THE ONETOUCH BUTTON PANEL

Scanning from the OneTouch Button Panel is like pressing a scanner button, except you click a button on the computer screen.

1. Adjust the paper guide for the width of paper and load the documents face down with their tops into the automatic document feeder.
2. Now click on the OneTouch icon.

1. On the screen click the button you want to use to scan.

THE DEFAULT ONETOUCH SETTINGS ON YOUR SCANNER

Based on the recommended installation of PaperPort and the scanner driver, your scanner is pre-configured to scan items for various basic tasks, such as email or fax, then send the scanned image to an appropriate, pre-selected Destination Application. The button names, such as PDF, eMail or Fax, indicate the original factory settings for a button.

You can change any of these settings. Please see "Configuring the OneTouch Buttons" on page 25 for instructions on changing the button settings.

For example, the eMail button is set up to scan documents then immediately attach them to a new eMail message in your default eMail program. The eMail application will default to the eMail program specified in the internet options of Internet Explorer.

A folder icon for a button, such as shown for Button 7, means that the button is set up to archive the scanned item. This is a special pre-configured Transfer to Storage option for your scanner. The scanner sends the scanned image directly to a folder without opening the image first in a Destination Application.

A question mark for a button means your computer does not have the appropriate software for the initial factory settings. In that case, you would probably want to change the name and Destination Application to something else.

If PaperPort, OmniPage or One Touch OmniPage is not installed, then the options for sending to word processing applications such as Microsoft Word will not be available.

Note: The default page size in each configuration is based on the location selected in your computer's Windows setup.

CONFIGURING THE ONE TOUCH BUTTONS

When you first connect your scanner to a computer, the scanner's software configures each button with appropriate settings. Each OneTouch button configuration consists of a Destination Application, a Scan Configuration, and a Document Format. The OneTouch Properties window is where you select these three elements for a button.

To open the OneTouch Properties window:

1. Click the OneTouch icon. It is located in the Windows Notification Area at the bottom right corner of the screen.

2. Right-click a button on the OneTouch Button Panel. The OneTouch Properties window opens for that button.

Right-click on a button (for example, button 2) and the Properties window opens for that button.

The OneTouch Properties window also opens when you press, hold down, and release the Simplex or Duplex button on the scanner.

Note: Some of the options on the OneTouch Properties window (and other OneTouch windows and dialog boxes) are “grayed out” and are not available. Grayed out options are not appropriate for your Visioneer Patriot 430 scanner.

THE SCAN SETTINGS TAB

1. On the Scan Configuration Properties dialog box, type a name.

1. Select scan settings for the new scan configuration.

Mode—Select a scanning mode:

■ Black&White to scan in black and white. For example, letters and memos are usually scanned in black and white.
■ GrayScale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white photographs.
■ Color to scan color photographs and other color items.

Resolution—Drag the slider to the right or left to adjust the dots per inch (dpi) of the resolution. The maximum resolution is 600 dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.

Brightness and Contrast—Sometimes an item is scanned with the brightness and contrast set too light or too dark.

Brightness refers to the lightness or darkness of the image. Contrast is the range between the darkest and lightest portions of the image. The greater the contrast, the more difference between the lighter and darker shades in the image.

1. If you want to lock the configuration, click the key icon to change it from a Key to a Lock.

THE PAGE SETTINGS TAB

Click the Page Settings tab to select page settings.

Size—Click Standard, click the menu arrow and choose a page size from the list, or click Custom and enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes. The maximum size is 8.5" x 14". The units of measurement can be inches or millimeters.

Improvements and Settings—Only the options that apply to the selected scanning mode are available.

■ AutoCrop to Original—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned.

When using the AutoCrop to Original option, always use the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed. Skewed pages may not crop properly.

For single-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the image. For double-sided scans, the scan area is the size of the larger of the two areas on the front and back of the page.

■ Reduce Moire Patterns—Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for the Grayscale or Color Mode at 300 dpi or less.

■ Straighten Image—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine if a page is skewed, then straighten its image. The input tray paper guides should be flush to the edges of the paper to prevent paper feeding in at too great of an angle.

■ Invert Image—Only available for Black&White scanning, this option reverses the black and whites of an image.

Original Image. Inverted Image.

Select Destinations—Select this option to individually choose the types of applications to include in the list of Destination Applications. Check the boxes for the type of application to include.

Destination Categories:

■ Document Management includes PaperPort and other applications for processing and keeping track of your scanned documents.
■ Image Editors include Microsoft Paint and other drawing and graphics applications.
■ Text Editors include Microsoft Word and WordPad, Microsoft Excel, and other word processing and spreadsheet applications. Select this option if you want OCR processing to convert your scanned documents to text that you can edit. See “Scanning with Optical Character Recognition (OCR)” on page 53 for more about OCR.
■ PDF applications are for documents scanned to PDF format.
- Email includes Microsoft Outlook and other email applications. See “eMail Properties” on page 48 for details about attaching scanned documents to your email messages.
■ Storage and CD-R/W is for either storing scanned documents in a folder, or sending them to a CD burner to create a CD containing the scanned documents. See “Transferring Scanned Documents to Storage” on page 60 and “Scan and Burn to a CD” on page 57 for details.

1. The OneTouch Global Options are:

■ Show Progress Window—Select this option to display the progress window of the document(s) during scanning.
■ Use enhanced folder browser—Select this option if you want to save your scans to a network location that is not a mapped drive on your computer.
■ Create copies of scanned documents—Sometimes the image of a scanned document is only saved as a temporary file until its Destination Application is finished using it. In those cases you may want an additional, permanent copy saved on your hard drive.

For example, if you scan a picture to an email application, the scanned image is saved as a temporary file, then attached to the email, and the email is sent. Later, the temporary file of the scanned picture is deleted. The same situation may occur when you scan directly to a printer or scan to a fax application. After a scanned item is printed or faxed, its temporary file is deleted. However, by selecting this Create copies of scanned documents option, you can choose to save permanent copies of the scanned items on your hard drive.

This option is not available if either the Document Management or Storage and CD-R/W options are selected because, by default, file copies for those types of Destination Applications are already automatically saved in the folder for copies.

■ Folder Copy Options—This section of the dialog box sets the location for copies of your scanned documents and how you want to group them.

Click the Browse button and find the folder for the copies. Select the grouping option for the documents. The Group by button option groups the documents under the name of the OneTouch button.

1. Click OK to save the options for the selected button.

SCANNING WITH OPTICAL CHARACTER RECOGNITION (OCR)

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) converts text and numbers on a scanned page into editable text and numbers. You can then work with the text and numbers to edit, spellcheck, change font or type size, sort, calculate, and so forth.

Note: Visioneer recommends that all OCR processing use the original factory settings for OCR scanning that came with your scanner. When scanning with other settings, use at least 200 dpi for the resolution. If the original documents are of poor quality and have small type font, 300 dpi can be used as the maximum resolution.

The OneTouch OmniPage Module or the OmniPage Pro software must be installed on your computer in order to use the advanced OCR options with the OneTouch 4.0 software and your scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module was automatically installed when you installed the scanner's driver, and the OmniPage Pro software is on the CD Disc 2 that you received with your scanner. The OneTouch OmniPage Module and the OmniPage software can both be installed on your computer at the same time, however, the features in the OneTouch OmniPage Module will take precedence over the OmniPage software features when using OneTouch 4.0. The OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guide is available on the Disc 1 installation CD.

If you only have the PaperPort software installed you will still have basic OCR options but they are limited to those functions that PaperPort provides.

Note: Please refer to the OneTouch OmniPage Mini-Guide, on Disc 1 that you received with your scanner, for detailed instructions on configuring and scanning with the advanced OCR Options.

To scan with OCR from the Scanner Buttons:

1. Press the Function button to select an LED number that has a text editing program as the selected Destination Application.

2. Press the Simplex or Duplex button on the scanner.

Your scanned pages are sent to the text editing application you selected in the Destination Application list. The text on the pages is ready for editing and other text processing.

To scan with OCR from the OneTouch Button Panel:

Scanning from the TWAIN Interface

You can scan from any TWAIN scanning application instead of scanning from the OneTouch buttons on your scanner or the OneTouch button panel.

A Note About Your Scanner and the TWAIN standard: TWAIN is a widely recognized procedure that software applications use to receive images from scanners, digital cameras, and other digital devices. Because the TWAIN interface is essentially the same regardless of the software you use to open it, you can still use the instructions in this User's Guide for scanning with your Visioneer Patriot 430 scanner. Please refer to an application's user guide for the appropriate steps to open the TWAIN Interface for your scanner.

For instructions on how to use the PaperPort software press F1 on your keyboard when the PaperPort software is open, or refer to the PaperPort User's Guide on the installation CD.

BASIC STEPS TO OPEN THE TWAIN INTERFACE

Each TWAIN-compliant software application has its own specific steps to open the TWAIN interface, but the basic process is the same for most of them.

1. Open an application that is TWAIN-compliant.

2. Use the application's command that opens the TWAIN interface.
   For example, in PaperPort click on the Scan button then choose TWAIN: Visioneer Patriot 430 when prompted. Also, many Microsoft Office applications can access the TWAIN interface from the Insert menu, by choosing Picture then From Scanner or Camera. Select Visioneer Patriot 430 from the drop-down menu.

3. The TWAIN Interface will open.

SCANNING WITH THE TWAIN INTERFACE

The TWAIN Interface is available from many applications, such as Microsoft Word and Paint, as well as from the PaperPort. You can use the instructions in this section regardless of the application you use to open the TWAIN Interface.

1. Select the options you want from the TWAIN interface, then load the documents with their tops into the Automatic Document Feeder.
2. Click the Scan button (if the AutoScan feature is not turned on). The scanner starts scanning and a progress box opens.
3. Click Done when you are finished scanning to close the TWAIN interface.

THE OPTIONS ON THE TWAIN INTERFACE ARE:

Mode—Select a scanning mode:

Black&White to scan in black and white. Use this setting for letters, memos, and other black and white material. This scan mode produces the smallest file size.

Grayscale to scan items such as documents containing drawings or black and white photographs. The scanning produces an image of up to 256 shades of gray. You can also scan a color document to turn its colors into gray shades. The file size is about one third that of a color scan.

Color to scan magazine articles, photographs, and other color images in full color. Color scans have the largest file size.

Resolution—The maximum resolution is 600 dpi; the minimum is 50 dpi. The higher the dpi setting, the sharper and clearer the scanned image. However, higher dpi settings take longer to scan and produce larger files for the scanned images.

Brightness—Increasing or decreasing the Brightness makes the scanned image lighter or darker.

Contrast—Contrast refers to the difference between the lighter and darker portions of the image. Increasing the contrast emphasizes the difference between the lighter and darker portions, decreasing the contrast de-emphasizes that difference. Contrast is not available for Black & White scanning.

AutoCrop to Original—Select this option to let the scanner automatically determine the size of the item being scanned. Always use the paper guides on the scanner so the page is not skewed otherwise the page will not crop properly.

Duplex—Scan both sides of the page. If this option is not selected, the scanner will only scan the side of the page facing down when you insert it into the scanner.

Filter—The Filter is the ability of your scanner to automatically remove a color from a scanned item. The Filter option applies to Black&White or Grayscale Mode.

The original with a red watermark over black text.

The scanned item with the red filtered out.

Reduce Moire Patterns—Moire patterns are wavy, rippled lines that sometimes appear on the scanned images of photographs or illustrations, particularly newspaper and magazine illustrations. Selecting Reduce Moire Patterns will limit or eliminate moire patterns in the scanned image. This option is only available for the Grayscale or Color Mode at 200 dpi or less.

Define page size—Click this option to activate the Define button. Then click the Define button to see the Define page size dialog box for selecting a specific page size:

1. Click Standard, click the menu arrow and choose a page size from the list, or click Custom and enter the horizontal and vertical page dimensions in the boxes. The maximum size is 8.5" x 14". The units of measurement can be inches or millimeters. Click the name of the units, inches or mm (millimeters), to toggle between them.

2. Click OK.

The Define page size option cannot be used with the AutoCrop to original option.

AutoScan on document insertion—Your Visioneer Patriot 430 scanner includes AutoLaunch technology that senses when an item is inserted into the paper feed and starts scanning immediately. Select this option to turn on the AutoLaunch feature. The item is scanned with the current settings on the TWAIN interface. If this option is not selected, the scanner waits for you to click the Scan button.

DISPLAY THE DEVICE CONFIGURATION

1. Click the Visioneer Patriot 430 icon in the top right corner of the TWAIN interface.

2. The Device configuration window opens and shows the information about your scanner.

Maintenance

This section contains information on maintenance, troubleshooting, uninstalling, scanner specifications, and spare parts.

CLEARING PAPER JAMS

If your scanner stops scanning due to a paper jam in the Automatic Document Feeder, a warning dialog box opens after a few moments.

To clear a paper jam:

1. Press the ADF cover release on the top-right of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
2. Remove the jammed paper and close the cover.

To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning and adjust the guides to the paper size, and insert the paper evenly into the ADF.

CLEAN THE AUTOMATIC DOCUMENT FEEDER

You may need to clean the ADF feed mechanism if your documents do not feed easily into the ADF, or several feed in at the same time.

To clean the ADF:

1. Wet a soft cloth with some isopropyl rubbing alcohol (95%).
2. Press the ADF cover release on the top right of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
3. Wipe the feed roller from side to side. Rotate the roller to clean its entire surface.

Note: Please be careful when cleaning the roller. The roller is designed to rotate in one direction only. As you're cleaning the roller, make sure it rotates easily, and continue rotating it in that direction while wiping it clean. Do NOT force the roller to rotate in the opposite direction. Forcing the roller to rotate will damage it, and may cause the scanner to feed pages incorrectly.

1. Wipe the ADF pad from top to bottom. Be careful not to snag the cloth on the springs on either side of the pad.
2. Close the cover when you're finished.

REPLACE THE ADF PAD ASSEMBLY

The ADF pad will wear out and is designed to be a user-replaceable part. Problems with documents feeding into the ADF is an indication that the pad is wearing thin.

You received a replacement pad in the original scanner box, and you can also order a new one. See the “Visioneer Patriot 430 Scanner Parts List” on page 88 for ordering information.

1. Press the ADF cover release on the top left of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.
2. The ADF pad is located behind the scanner buttons.
3. Squeeze the plastic clamps that hold the pad assembly in place and lift the pad up and out.
4. Reverse the procedure to replace the new pad into its slots.

1. Close the cover when you're finished.

REPLACING THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY

After extended use, the roller may wear out and may need to be replaced. It is a user-replaceable part and can be reordered.

Frequent paper jams are a symptom of a worn roller assembly. A worn roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. A worn roller should be replaced to avoid damage to the scanner's internal parts. Before replacing the roller you should clean it as excessive dust on the roller will make it appear worn and smooth. You cannot properly diagnose a worn roller until you have cleaned it.

1. Press the ADF cover release on the top left of the scanner body to open the Automatic Document Feeder cover.

2. Remove the scanner's paper input tray as the roller is seated in the body of the scanner behind the tray.

3. The roller is held in place with a lock tab that rotates to lock and unlock it. To unlock the tab, rotate it upward until the small lock flange is completely free.

TROUBLESHOOTING

In addition to the troubleshooting information contained in this section, please see the Readme file on your installation CD. The Readme file contains additional information that may help you diagnose problems with the scanner.

If you try the troubleshooting procedures described in this section and in the Readme file, and the scanner still has problems, visit our web site at www.visioneer.com for additional technical information.

Problem: The scanner won't scan. What's wrong?

Check for one of these possible causes:

■ Are the cables loose or not plugged in securely? Inspect the cable connections. Make sure the cables are plugged in securely.
- Is the scanner's status light on? Turn on the scanner's power. If the status light doesn't come on, plug the power supply into another electrical outlet.
- Did you restart the computer after installing the software? If you didn't restart the computer, it may not have loaded all of the software files. Try restarting your computer.
- Did you plug the scanner into a USB hub? If you're using a USB hub to connect the scanner, the hub must have its own power supply. If the hub does not have its own power supply, plug the scanner into a USB port on the computer.
- Did you select another TWAIN source for acquiring images? If you use multiple TWAIN devices with your computer, you may have selected another source for images. Start the PaperPort software and click the Scan icon, then make sure Visioneer Patriot 430 is selected as the scanner.

Problem: During installation I got the error message: PaperPort Installation is not complete. What do I do?

The installation procedure was not successful. You need to reinstall the PaperPort software.

Problem: The installation will not complete successfully. If installation finishes, the scanner's OneTouch 4.0 options do not seem to work properly. What do I do?

A likely cause is that some driver programs are already installed on your computer for another scanner. Or you previously had another Visioner scanner and that driver program is still on your computer. They are interfering with the installation and OneTouch options, and you need to remove those other drivers and re-install your Visioner Patriot 430 scanner. Please see the documentation that you received with the other scanner for the steps to remove its driver programs. You can also use the basic steps in the section “To Install Another Driver” on page 86, but instead of uninstalling OneTouch 4.0, uninstall the other scanner’s driver programs. After uninstalling the other scanner’s driver programs, uninstall OneTouch 4.0 using the steps on page 85 then reinstall it.

Problem: With AutoCrop to Original selected, sometimes I get blank pages, or pages with lines. What's wrong?

The pages were probably scanned in crooked, or skewed. To use AutoCrop to Original, the pages must be scanned in straight. Adjust the paper guides on the scanner so pages feed in straight.

Problem: The paper jams the ADF. How can I keep the paper from jamming so often?

To reduce the number of paper jams, smooth and straighten the paper before scanning, and adjust the guides to the paper size. Paper fed into the ADF at an angle can cause the feed mechanism to jam. If paper jams are occurring more frequently, try cleaning the roller with a soft cloth dampened with Isopropyl rubbing alcohol. Excessive dust on the roller can make it appear worn and will cause issues feeding paper. See “Clean the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 76 for cleaning instructions.

Problem: The ADF won't feed pages properly. How can I fix it?

A dirty or worn ADF pad assembly or dirt on the roller can cause documents to feed in skewed at an angle, or multiple pages to feed at the same time. Try cleaning the roller first. See “Clean the Automatic Document Feeder” on page 76. If that doesn’t solve the problem, the pad assembly may need to be replaced. It is user-replaceable. See “Visioneer

Patriot 430 Scanner Parts List" on page 88 for the ordering number. See "Replace the ADF Pad Assembly" on page 77 for the steps to replace the pad.

Problem: If the USB cable is disconnected during a scan, the scanner does not reconnect when the USB cable is plugged back in.

Unplug the power cable from the scanner, and then plug it back in.

If the scanner does not reconnect:

1. Unplug the power cable from the scanner.
2. Restart your computer.
3. After the restart is complete, plug the power cable back in.
