Unexpected duplicate of fi-7160 scanner appearing

Postby posix » Thu May 27, 2021 22:06

Windows 10 Pro
I am intermittently having a problem where the user can't scan. Upon investigation I always find find the same problem: An additional instance of this scanner has appeared and become the default (see attached). This new default never works, and the fix is to delete the duplicate from Settings > Devices > Printers & Scanners. The fix is easy but annoying, so I'd like to stop this from occuring. Any ideas?

If you're seeing an unexpected duplicate of your fi-7160 scanner, it's likely due to a conflict with another scanner on your network. Try restarting both scanners and see if the issue persists. If it does, you may need to reconfigure your network settings to ensure that both scanners are using unique IP addresses.
