The 5800 scanner does not have a physical lock switch. DO NOT attempt to open the scanner and unlock the hardware. This could be either a hardware failure or software
Toggle the lock switch on the scanner leaving the switch in the unlocked (open padlock) position.
Ensure you are using the correct power supply for your scanner. If you are using a power supply that has the incorrect DC output, you will get a scanner locked error message. This flatbed scanners has I believe 100-120V AC input and 12V DC output.


Plug the power directly to the wall, not a UPS battery back-up, power strip or surge protector. Power fluctuations from a UPS battery back-up, power strip or surge protector may be causing this error. If all this fails try reinstalling the scanner driver

5800usb says there is a lock on the bottom of the scanner. to click OK after you have unlocked the scanner. I do not find a lock anywhere on the scanner

There is no lock on the Visioneer 5800 USB scanner. I had the same problem with my 5800 and finally noticed that the scanner lamp was going bad. I replaced it with a good lamp out of an old Acer parallel port scanner that even had the same plug, noticed that an older HP that I have sitting around would have interchanged as well. My 5800 now works great and has been tried on both 98SE and XP with SP2.

My 5800 scanner is saying the locking tab needs to be unlocked, but i dont see a locking tab anywhere

I think this locking tab is on the carriage, under the cover you lift to replace the ink cartridges.

How do you unlock a visoneer scanner 5800 I got back from a trip and tried to scan something and the bar is locked now and won't move more than an inch. The error message says to unlock it but I can't find...

Ensure you are using the power supply that was provided with the scanner.

The power through the strip may be fluctuating and causing the problem.

Download and install the driver provided on the 5800 USB support website.

Unlock

Most scanners shipped have a lock on them to prevent the top from opening up and damaging the glass. This is a screw type mabey other but a penny fits in mine. This may not be the case for you but look in your manual to find the unlock device.
This will also in some scanners prevent the stepper motor from moving in transit . The stepper motor is the device thats makes the bar slide up and down to scan the page.
Hope this helped some.
