• Check the original
Make sure that the original is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load an
original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the automatic document feeder
(ADF).
• 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.
Scan takes too long
• Check the settings
◦
If you set the resolution too high, the scan job takes longer and results in larger
files. To obtain good results, do not use a resolution that is higher than needed.
You can lower the resolution to scan more quickly.
◦ If you acquire an image through TWAIN, you can change the settings so that the
original scans in black and white. See the onscreen Help for the TWAIN program
for information.
• Check the status of the printer
If you sent a print or copy job before you tried to scan, the scan starts if the scanner
is not busy. However, the printing and scanning processes share memory, which
means that the scan might be slower.
