I accidentally pulled the plug out of the back of the scanner when a tech disengaged my A-drive.
The scanner is now properly plugged in at the back, the light is on so I know the power bar is on. The main line is in the same position as it has been for the past 5 years.
So, the instructions are to a) put the disk of scanning software in, then shut down the computer, then hook it up, then restart the computer.
Because it is already hooked up everywhere, should I
A) put in the disk and turn off the computer, then turn it back on again? or
B) can I put in the disk, just reboot, and go from there?
I am nervous about the correct order of things and really don't want to phone my computer technician and have him make a call when it looks very simple.
Thank you very much. (I will follow instructions in the morning as it's almost 11 pm here and too late to start doing anything.)
