Scanner has stopped working correctly
If the scanner stops scanning, follow these steps. After each step, start a scan to see if
the scanner is working. If the problem persists, proceed with the next step.
1. A cable might be loose. Ensure that both the USB cable and power supply are properly
connected.
Use the cable that was included with the scanner. Another USB cable might not be
compatible with the scanner.
2. Turn off the scanner, wait 60 seconds, and then turn the scanner back on.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Use the Add/Remove tool (in Windows Vista, the Programs and Features tool) from
the Control Panel to uninstall the following programs:
HP Scanjet N8400 series Document ISIS/TWAIN
HP Scanjet N8400 series Utilities
5. Reinstall using the HP Scanning Software CD that came with your scanner. When
you insert the CD, an installation dialog box launches automatically.
