Hello. I have different problem with scanning using HP Scan program and MFP 28w LaserJet Printer. When I open HP Scan program and try to scan document (as a PDF or JPG it doesn't matter) scanning is going on with breaks and after finish I have no picture of scanned document:scan.JPG

And this only happens with HP Scan program and my HP laptop. If I choose another program to scan ex. NAPS2 or HP SMART everything is good. If I take another laptop and use HP Scan program also is good. So something is wrong only with HP Scan program on my laptop. If I started HP Print and Scan Doctor program it detected something wrong with Device manager and want to restart the Windows. I did it but it didn't help. Any ideas how to fix it ? Thanks

Dear Elohi

 

I think you shouldn't read my problem correctly. I wrote that I have no problem with connection with scanner using HP Scan program in Windows. Moreover I can even start scan with SCAN button (in HP Scan) and HP Printer did the scanning work but during "transfering" image after scanning there is no result (image I attached in previous message):

So DOCUMENTS you recommended to me are useless. 

I have connection with scanner. I don't have any error like "Scanning is currectly unavailable".

 

There is something bad only with HP Scan program in WINDOWS 10.

Hi @Bezkitu,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

 

I understand you are facing a scan quality issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

 

To assist better:

  • Does the copy also have the same issue?
  • Are you able to get good-quality scans using the automatic document feeder?
  • What application are you using to scan?
  • Have you tried using an alternate scanning application?

While you respond to that, Let's perform a power drain: 

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Remove USB cable, if present.
  • Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
  • Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Update the printer firmware 

 

  • Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your product
  • Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

 

If the issue persists, then please follow the steps mentioned in this document: Resolve scan quality problems on HP printers

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
