Resolving scanner messages
(Some models only, see "Front panel and accessories comparisons" 
on page 3.) If an error message appears on the 16-character front 
panel LCD on your scanner, look for the cause and solution in this 
section.
ADF Paper Jam
Pages are jammed in the ADF. See "Clearing jams from the ADF" 
on page 108 for information on clearing paper jams from the ADF.
Clear the paper jam. If the error message does not clear, unplug 
the scanner and plug it back in.
Error ##
The scanner reported an error during the self-test.
Unplug the scanner and plug it back in. If this error message is still 
on the scanner, contact HP support. Visit the HP support website 
at:

See the Setup and Support Guide for phone contact information.
Scanner Locked
(Some models only, see the "Front panel and accessories 
comparisons" on page 3.) The scanner is not working because it is 
locked. Make sure the scanner is unlocked. Move the lock to the 
unlocked position. If the error message does not clear, unplug the 
scanner and plug it back in.
Resolving issues that did not 
generate messages
If the scanner or software is not working but no message appears, look 
for the cause and solution in this section.
Items you scanned previously are no longer on the computer.
The scanned image might not have been saved as a file. If you 
send an image directly to a destination, the scanned image is not 
saved on the computer. When you use the HP Precisionscan Pro 
software, use Save As to save the image to your computer.
The scanner lamp stays on.
The scanner lamp should time out and turn off automatically after a 
period of inactivity. 
● If you have recently used the scanner, wait a few more minutes. 
● If the scanner lamp is still on, you might have selected the 
Faster Scan setting. Check this setting on the Lamp tab in the 
HP Scanjet Controls control panel. See "Setting scanner lamp 
controls" on page 107.
● Press the Power Save button on the front panel of the scanner 
to immediately turn off the scanner lamp and the XPA light 
source (if connected). See "Using Power Save" on page 34.
● If you still encounter problems with the scanner lamp or the 
Power Save button, contact HP Customer Support.(See 
“Contacting HP Customer Support” in the Setup and Support 
Guide.)
