To ensure the device is installed and listed in the Printer and Scanner section on your workstation, please follow these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel.
  2. Select Devices and Printers.
  3. Look for the Printer & Scanners section.
  4. Check if your device is listed there.

If the device is not listed, you can try installing it manually. The process will vary depending on the device and the operating system you are using.


To verify if you can scan to your computer outside of Novari ATC, please follow the manufacturer's instructions for scanning with the device. This will help determine if the issue is with Novari ATC or with the device itself.


If the device is still not showing up in the Novari scanner list inside the application, please verify the brand and model series of the device and make sure the device is compatible with TWAIN.
