Chapter 3

Scanner will not turn on

If the scanner will not turn on when you press the front-panel scanner buttons, check for these possible problems:

●The scanner might have been unplugged. Check to see that the power cable has not become disconnected from the scanner or unplugged from the power source.

●The scanner might be turned off. Check to see that the scanner power switch is in the on position.

●Check to see that the TMA cable has not become disconnected from the scanner.

Scanner does not scan right away

If the scanner has not been used for a while, the scanner lamp might need to go through a warm-up period before scanning can begin. If the scanner lamp needs to warm up, it takes a moment after starting the software or pressing a scanner button for scanning to begin.

To change the lamp warm-up setting, open the HP Solution Center, click Settings, click Scan Settings, and then click Scan Preferences.

Buttons appear not to work

After each step, start a scan to see if the buttons are working. If not, proceed with the next step.

●A cable might be loose. Ensure that the USB cable, the TMA cable, and the power cable are securely connected.

●Turn the scanner off using the power switch, and then turn it back on again.

●Restart your computer.
