  • I installed new hardware and now Smart Touch does not work. What should I do?
    • Contact Kodak Alaris for support.
  • Smart Touch does not work. How can I determine if the problem is Smart Touch or the Scanner or scanner driver?
    • Run the scanner with the Scan Validation Tool: Start > All Programs > Kodak > Document Imaging > Scan Validation Tool

      Note: For some models (i920, i940) the Scan Validation Tool does not have a start menu shortcut. Browse to C:\Program Files\Kodak\Document Imaging. Run ScanValidation.exe.

      Insert a page into the scanner. Click the Scan All button. If the driver is working and the scanner connected, the scan will work. If scanning does not work with the Scan Validation Tool, or there is an error, the problem is not the Smart Touch Application. See the scanner User Guide for troubleshooting steps.
