Unable to set up Pro XI for my printer and screen resolution

I have recently purchased a new printer which has installed correctly, however I am unable to scan automatically with it. When I enter the Custom Scan screen I have 2 options for scanners: TW or WIA prefixes for the same device. The TW version accepts presets but does not connect. The WIA version does not accept presets so I have to scan manually. Both versions are the same device.

In an attempt to resolve this problem I uninstalled and reinstalled my Acrobat Professional XI and now cannot set the screen resolution as it was before

There could be multiple root cause for this issue like drivers problem, connectivity problem, compatibility issue, hardware issue or installation problem. Please try some troubleshoot option available in the link https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/troubleshoot-scanner-issues-acrobat.html.

Hi Brianinkathu,

As per the issue description mentioned above, you are unable to set the screen resolution for the scanner when trying to scan in Acrobat Pro XI, is that correct?

Could you try clicking "options" next to scanner's list and select "show scanner's native interface (screenshot below) > click Scan and check if you are getting options to set resolution?

Thanks,

Shivam
