A colleague needs a scanner for her Dell laptop, so I picked her up a used Artec 1236 USB scanner that draws it's power from the USB port. When we try to use it we get a "Power exceeeds the port's capacity..." type of error. Apparently it's drawing too much juice. I ordered a powered USB hub, presuming that will fix the problem. Correct?
The Artec scanners have always performed well with desktops. Do laptops have lower USB output, is it just the Dell, or is there a workaround that I'm missing?
