Many of you might be familiar with Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week.
He has talked about getting a Fujitsu ScanSnap before, but the other day on Twitter he ran into a problem:
Here is the error he was getting:
I have to say, the solution he came up with isn’t one I would have thought of:
So there you go. If you get the TIme-out occurred during communications. (0xd0020004) error, try rolling the pick rollers. Or, call Tim Ferriss.
Brooks Duncan helps individuals and small businesses go paperless. He's been an accountant, a software developer, a manager in a very large corporation, and has run DocumentSnap since 2008. You can find Brooks on Twitter at @documentsnap or @brooksduncan. Thanks for stopping by.
Thanks for the tip. I got the same error message on my ScanSnap S1500m and just rolling the feeder roller seems to have fixed it. Much appreciated!
I have uploaded mountain Lion. Since then I rarely can scan more than one page before it "time-out occurred during communication. (0xd0020004)" I have rolled the large middle roller, but the two lower see through rollers cannot be moved. Any suggestions?
Hi Ted, haven't heard of that one. I'd start by making sure you have the latest ScanSnap drivers for Mountain Lion, and then maybe trying son's different USB ports/cables? Other than that, you may need Fujitsu support's help on this one.
