      <p>I've recently been helping my son to learn to code in Python.</p>

      <p>I've also bought a portable scanner so I can scan documents and add them to Paperless which is <a href="/daily/2024/12/01/homelabbing-with-nixos">running on my homelab</a>.</p>

      <p>I've been explaining to my son why he needs to read the error messages to understand why something isn't working, such as a syntax error or an undefined variable.</p>

      <p>After plugging in my scanner and wondering why it wasn't showing in the gscan2pdf application, I found a switch to toggle an auto start setting.</p>

      <p>If auto start is enabled, the scanner only works with its own software.</p>

      <p>Once I disabled it, the scanner appeared.</p>

      <h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>

      <p>Both of these situations were solved by doing the same thing.</p>

      <p>RTFM.</p>

      <p>Reading The "Friendly" Manual.</p>
