Fujitsu fi-7460 – Troubleshooting Notes (DriverFiles)
People usually reached this page assuming a Windows 11 or driver regression because the fi-7460 either took an unusually long time to become usable, appeared unavailable on the network, or caused scanning applications to fail outright. In practice, several cases showed that the scanner itself was functional, but interaction between drivers, scan modes, and background utilities created behavior that looked like a driver fault.
Problem: Scanner takes several minutes to initialize on Windows 11
What users observed: One fi-7460 in a Windows 11 environment began taking three to five minutes to initialize after the scanning window opened. This delay occurred regardless of whether Basic or Standard scanning modes were used. Other fi-7460 units on the same OS did not show the problem.
What was tried: Updated Windows 11 drivers from Ricoh were installed, but initialization time did not improve.
What this turned out to be: An issue tied to the scanning interface rather than the base driver.
Where this sometimes ended: Installing PaperStream Capture 5.2 and switching from WIA to PaperStream TWAIN eliminated the long startup delay. The reason only one scanner was affected was not identified.
Problem: Network scanner reports “No scanner is found”
What users observed: Attempts to scan over the network failed with messages stating that the scanner could not be used or was not found, even though it was powered on and connected.
What was tried: Attention shifted to whether the scanner was already in use elsewhere on the network.
What this turned out to be: The scanner was occupied by another process or computer.
Where this sometimes ended: Closing background utilities such as PaperStream ClickScan, Button Event Manager, or driver settings windows released the scanner and allowed scanning to proceed.
Problem: Adobe Acrobat crashes during scanning
What users observed: Adobe Acrobat crashed while scanning documents from the fi-7460. It was unclear whether the crash depended on specific documents or occurred during all scans.
What was tried: Application-level troubleshooting was suggested, including testing different documents and repairing the Acrobat installation.
How this played out: No confirmed resolution was reported. It remained unclear whether the cause was Acrobat itself, the scan data, or the interaction with the scanner driver.
