I'm trying to scan a document and it says "No Scan Options. Refer to device documentation." It will not scan. What do I do?

  • laura214 Sep 28, 2009

    Is this additional software that I have to purchase then? This apparently does not come with the printer when purchased?

In order to scan, you need to be connected to your computer with HP scanning software running. No scan options means it needs to know where to scan to, what format to save in, and what to do with the scanned image. If you want to copy, you just copy, but scanning requires software on your computer.

Can't scan- Refer to device documentation to

Try using widows paint. Look in windows accessories off the start program menu. If you open windows paint, look for open file from "Scanner or Camera". Most likely you can get the scanner to work again in Vista. Otherwise...try Vuescan scanner software. I think you can get a free trial period online and it should also work. You'll have to pay for that if you like it.

Cannot use scan...when I put a document in the tray and press "start scan" it says " no scan options" and "refer to device documentation" what to do?

You need to have it connected to a computer with the scan software running. The scan options are in the computer. It tells what type of document to scan, how to save it, JPG, PDF, etc. and where to send the scanned image.
