Hi @Rohit162,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If your printer is showing as "ASLEEP" mode when you try to start scanning, it indicates that the printer is in a low-power state or standby mode. Here’s how you can troubleshoot and resolve this issue:
Steps to Wake Up the Printer and Enable Scanning:
Wake Up the Printer:
- Check the printer's control panel for a power button or a touchscreen display. Press the power button to wake up the printer from sleep mode.
- Some printers may have a specific button labeled "Scan" or "Start" for initiating scanning directly from the printer's control panel.
Check for Connection:
- Ensure that your printer is properly connected to the power source and turned on. If using a wireless connection, make sure the printer is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your computer.
Initiate Scanning from Computer:
- Open the scanning software or application on your computer (e.g., HP Easy Scan, HP Smart).
- Select the scanning option and follow the on-screen instructions to scan your document.
Check Printer Settings:
- On the printer's control panel, navigate to the settings or setup menu.
- Look for options related to power management or sleep mode settings.
- Adjust the sleep mode settings if necessary to prevent the printer from going into sleep mode too quickly.
Update Printer Firmware:
- Ensure that your printer has the latest firmware installed. Visit the website (HP, ) and download any available firmware updates for your specific printer model.
Restart the Printer:
- If the issue persists, try restarting the printer by turning it off, unplugging it from the power source, waiting for a few minutes, and then plugging it back in and turning it on again
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
