on the scanner glass on page 14 or Load an original in the automatic document feeder
(ADF) on page 15.
● 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
