Frequently Asked Questions - ImageScan Pro 490i Ambir
How do I install the scanner drivers for the ImageScan Pro 490i?
Download the latest drivers from the Ambir website or use the included CD. Connect the scanner via USB to your computer. The driver will install automatically on Windows; for Mac, download the macOS driver from the support page.
My scanner is not being recognized by the computer. What should I do?
Ensure the USB cable is firmly connected. Try a different USB port. If using a USB hub, connect directly. Restart the scanner and computer. If the issue persists, reinstall the drivers or check Device Manager for conflicts.
How do I clean the ADF rollers and scanner glass?
Open the ADF cover. Use a lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water or isopropyl alcohol. Gently wipe the rollers (rotate them manually) and the flatbed glass. Let dry completely before use.
What should I do if paper jams in the ADF?
Gently remove the jammed paper by pulling it in the direction of the paper path. Check for any torn pieces. Clean the rollers if they appear dirty. Ensure paper is not wrinkled or damp.
Can I scan plastic cards or ID cards with this scanner?
Yes, the ImageScan Pro 490i can scan plastic cards using the flatbed. For the ADF, use the dedicated card slot if available, or place the card in a carrier sheet to avoid damage.
Is the scanner compatible with macOS?
Yes, it supports macOS 10.6 and later. Download the appropriate driver from Ambir's website. Some functions may require TWAIN or ICA support.
How do I perform a duplex scan?
In your scanning software, select the duplex or double-sided option. The scanner will scan both sides automatically in one pass. Ensure the ADF is loaded correctly.
What is the maximum scan resolution?
The optical resolution is 600 dpi. Interpolated resolution up to 1200 dpi is available in software, but the native maximum is 600 dpi for best quality.
How do I replace the ADF roller kit?
Purchase the replacement roller kit from Ambir. Open the ADF cover, gently remove the old rollers by releasing the clips, and snap the new rollers into place. Refer to the manual for detailed step-by-step instructions.
Can I scan documents longer than Legal size?
The ADF supports documents up to Legal length (14 inches). The flatbed supports up to 11.7 inches. For longer documents, use the flatbed in multiple passes or consider the continuous feed option if available.
