Hey

On my school we now have 7 scanners with the same problem. However, these are Lide 50 and 60, so it seems that Canon have a serious problem.

Mine was doing the same thing. When I get on the program, before I click "acquire" to preview and scan, I click OFF the toolbox and then everything seems to be okay and I can go ahead and scan.

I cannot use scanner Lide 25.. because show error : "release the lock switch,detach the I/F cable and reconnect" How solution?

Sounds like the scan head is locked. This is usually done so you can transport the scanner without bouncing the scan head out of alignment. Look under the scanner and you will see it. Make sure it's in the UNLOCKED position. You may need to power the unit off/on to reset it or restart your computer to get a fresh attempt at the scanner.

Canon scan lide 20 Message: Release the lock switch, detach the USB Cable and reconnect. Scanner drive will be closed. Have done this but still not working.

Check the bottom or side of the scanner for a sliding lock.

Errow msg. "release lock switch and detatch the i/f cable" still will not scan.

There is a switch on the underside on the scanner. This is the lock switch. Flipping it should solve your problem.

Your Train source may be your scanner Twain driver. Reinstall the driver.

Hi there, yes I did everything per your instructions, Toolbox is installed and it still says, "release the lock switch, detach I/F cable and reconnect. Scanner driver will be closed" and then after clicking on that it says "Unable to open TWAIN source. Please check connection then restart toolbox" I have been to the Canon site and downloaded driver sites and it says everything is working. but when I go to scan it comes up with the boxes I said before. Quite lost at the moment? Thanks Maureen. PS I have unstalled and reinstalled
