If you're running any version of Microsoft Windows and are encountering issues with the mouse wheel adjust the mouse settings through the Mouse Properties window. This window can be accessed by opening the Control Panel and double-clicking the Mouse icon.
Within the Mouse Properties window select the Wheel tab and try adjusting the number of lines to scroll the mouse or try changing the mouse to scroll one page at a time. After this has been adjusted click Apply and then Ok. And see if this changes helps correct any issues.
If you're running a mouse not manufactured by Microsoft you may also want to adjust the mouse through the program installed with the mouse. For example, Logitech mice often have software separate from Windows that allows users to adjust their mouse settings. Often these programs are accessible by clicking a mouse icon in the Systray. Also try to reset the BIOS settings to default.

I have an Epson cx7450. While initializing, the scanner jams, causing the gears and belt to grind while repeatedly attempting to move. This happens when I am sending a print job to the printer, so I believe this all-in-one initializes both printing and scanning each time, even if only a print job is sent from the computer. How can I clear the jammed scanner?
