If the problem persists after verifying the above items, try the following:
1. Do one of the following tasks depending on how the scanner is connected to the
computer:
•
If the USB cable is connected to a USB hub or a docking station for a laptop,
disconnect the USB cable from the USB hub or the docking station, and then
connect the USB cable directly to the computer.
• If the USB cable is directly connected to the computer, plug it into another USB
port on the computer.
• Remove all other USB devices from the computer except for the keyboard and
the mouse.
2. Press the Power switch to the off position, wait 30 seconds, and then press the
Power switch to the on position.
3. Restart the computer.
4. After the computer has restarted, try using the scanner.
If the scanner works and you changed the way it was connected to the computer in
step 1, the communication problem might involve the USB hub, the docking station,
a USB port, or another USB device. Leave the scanner directly connected to the
computer. Try using the scanner after reconnecting each additional USB device, and
disconnect any USB devices that prevent the scanner from working correctly.
If the scanner does not work, uninstall and then reinstall the HP Scanjet drivers and
utilities.
