Is the scanner USB cable plugged directly into the computer, or is it
plugged into a USB hub? If the cable is connected directly to
the computer, which USB port is the scanner plugged into?

Next time it tells you no scanner is connected, open
/Applications/Utilities/System Information and select USB on the sidebar
to view the USB deice connections on your computer. See if the scanner
appears in that listing.

It would also be good to know what, if any, messages are posted to the
system / console logs at the time of this problem. 

Viewing Crash, Console, and System Logs

To view logs on your computer, open /Applications/Utilities/Console.

NOTE: You cannot use the Console application to view the system log from
a non-administrative account. Instead, do this:

a. Open a terminal window.
b. Enter the command (where admin is the short name of an administrator
account): su admin
c. Supply the password to the admin account when prompted.
d. Enter the command: cat /var/log/system.log

If you enter these commands correctly, the system log will be displayed
in the terminal window.

The system log will usually give you an indication as to what is causing
startup and low-level issues, where the console log typically shows only
issues you experience after you are logged into your user account.

Feel free to post *relevant portions* (only entries that are time
stamped around the time of the occurrence) of the logs here if you need
help understanding them. We'll be glad to take a look and tell you what
we see.
