Scanner did nothingCheck the original

Make sure that the original is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass on page 27 or Load an original in the document feeder on page 28.

Check the printer

The printer might be coming out of Sleep mode after a period of inactivity, which delays processing a short while. Wait until the printer displays the Home screen.

Check the HP software

Make sure that the HP software provided with the printer is installed correctly.

NOTE: If you do not scan frequently, you can choose to turn off the feature.

(Windows) Open the HP printer software. For more information, see Open the HP printer software (Windows) on page 37. In the window that appears, go to the Scan section under Print, Scan & Fax, select Scan a Document or Photo.

(OS X) Open HP Utility. For more information, see HP Utility (OS X) on page 117. Under Scan Settings, select Scan to Computer, and ensure that Enable Scan to Computer is selected.
