SmartSource(TM) Micro Series Driver

The SmartSource(TM) Micro Series driver helps Windows communicate with your Unisys device so compatible software can access its image-capture functions. If you are setting up the device, reinstalling Windows, or troubleshooting detection problems, installing the appropriate driver is an important first step. Although listed in the Camera category, this device requires a matching Unisys driver rather than a generic webcam package.

Key Features

• Device recognition: Enables Windows to identify the SmartSource(TM) Micro Series and communicate with the connected hardware.
• Image-capture support: Provides the driver connection needed by compatible scanning and capture applications.
• Windows compatibility: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP; choose a package that explicitly supports your system.
• Setup and maintenance: A compatible driver can help restore communication after an operating system reinstall or address issues covered by a driver update.

How to Install SmartSource(TM) Micro Series Driver

1. Check your Windows edition and system type. Confirm whether your installation is 32-bit or 64-bit before selecting a package. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported, while Windows 11 compatibility should be verified with Unisys.
2. Review the download details. Before starting your SmartSource(TM) Micro Series driver download for Windows, confirm the device model, supported operating systems, and any application requirements. Choose the latest version compatible with your setup, not simply the newest package available.
3. Obtain the driver from a trusted source. If a free download is offered, verify that it is the correct Unisys package and check its publisher information before running it.
4. Run the installer. Extract the downloaded files if necessary, then launch the setup program with administrator permission. Follow its instructions about when to connect or disconnect the device.
5. Restart if prompted and test. Check Device Manager for warnings, then open your compatible capture application to confirm that it recognizes the device. If detection fails, review the connection and installation instructions.

Keep the driver updated when Unisys provides a compatible release that addresses your needs. Before you install an update, review its release notes and retain a copy of the working installer so you can return to your previous setup if necessary.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or rolls back: Disconnect the SmartSource Micro scanner before running the installer, close check-scanning applications, and run setup as administrator. If an older Unisys package exists, uninstall it and reboot before retrying.
• Scanner not detected: Confirm the power LED is on, use a direct USB port instead of a hub, and try a known-good cable. Check Device Manager for an unknown USB device, then reconnect the scanner after driver installation.
• Version conflicts or driver won’t load: Remove older Unisys SmartSource drivers and scanner utilities via Programs and Features, reboot, then install only the package matching your Windows version and Micro Series model. Do not mix 32-bit and 64-bit packages.
