Printer does not scan when exits low power mode
12-19-2020 01:08 AM

Hi, the problem is rather simple.
The printer does not scan when it exits low power mode.
If i try to use the printer scan mode or i f i les the computer app, the scan never starts. I have to reboot the printer in order to make it work.
Both softwares are up to date (computer app and printer internal software).
I use Mac Os but i don"t think it's a problem since even if i try to scan using the printer screen mode, it does not work.
Thanks.
Thanks.

@PatriceB, Welcome to HP Support Community!
Follow the steps below in sequence to isolate and resolve the issue-
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the power source, and then wait 30 seconds.
-
If you are using a power strip or multi-plug adapter, connect the cord directly to a wall outlet to make sure the printer is getting enough power.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the printer, and then try making a copy.
Also, Update the printer firmware
Download available firmware updates from the HP website
With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Thanks for the advice but if I have to turn off the printer everyday, because the problem is daily, I don't your answer as a solution. I prefer to see a bug and I would like to help how to fix it.
