I have an Epson 4990 that hasn't been used in years. Recently, it works fine when I just press 'scan', but when I first press 'preview' and then 'scan', it shows an error saying "failed to start scanner. error during device i/o". Do you know how to fix this?

It appears the scanner isn't configured correctly on the computer. Verify the device manager to confirm proper detection, look for updated software and drivers, and ensure compatibility with your Windows version.
