Make sure you are at the latest version for your scanner - use the web update feature since it is the easiest. If you have a version before 6.5 you can update to 6.4.x for free. Any update from 6.4.x to 6.5.x or higher is for a fee as i understand it unless the scanner manufacturer provided 6.5.x in the box.
