2540 HP all-in-one series - cannot scan

I recently bought a series of all-in-one HP Deskjet 2540 and the booklet of instructions with it contains NO information on how to scan a document. Anyone can shed some light?

    The screen scanning / Scan to computer / select computer

    "Select computer" shows a computer that no longer exists... How can I remove the computer? Before getting rid of the computer, the printer software has been uninstalled.

    Hello there! Welcome to the forums @SandyLY 

    I read on the way in which you no longer have a certain computer, however, the printer it still lists as a detection option of.

    1. I'd say trying to power cycle the network devices first, which can remove this PC in the list of printers:
    Turn off the printer and the computer and unplug the router for 1 minute (do not press the buttons on the router).
    Plug the router back in and wait another minute, turn on the printer and the computer.

    Check the printer to see if the PC you have more is always listed or not.

    2. If the PC is still listed on the printer, check out this guide to set up the scan of the computer to the correct computer:

    A "found no computer', 'Necessary connection' or 'unsuccessful analysis" Message appears for HP ENVY 5640, 5660, 7640 and Officejet 5740, 8040 e - all-in - One Printer Series

    Hello Maltesem,

    I'm so happy to hear that we were able to get the problem resolved for you.  It's great! 

    As for the small pop-up that appears when scanning, which is part of the new software and cannot be removed.  I know this can be a bit of a pain if you are not used, but it is convenient if the scan does not look right and you want to cancel it.

    If you have any questions or concerns, please by all means email me back and I'll be happy to help you at any time.

    See you soon,.

  • Deskjet F340 all-in-one printer cannot scan from the solution Center

    We had a very short temporary blackout in mid-August. Who put my turn out of service until I could afford a new

    power cord. I received the new cord and my PC works fine now. I had to replace my modem because it is finally just

    stop working. My printer doesn't not have be reinstalled because I lost some functions when we had the black out.

    Now I can only print and copy from the Solution Center. There is no indication in the scanning settings. I can scan if I go to

    Scanners and cameras and use Scanner and camera wizard. But it can be a pain. I also can't any alignment

    messages after I replaced a printer cartridge. I get the alignment page but no message. It does not seem to line up OK. My

    OS is WIN XP Home Ed with SP2. It's on a Everex IMPACT GA3400 PC. My printer uses a USB connection. I think that

    some of the files I need for scanning to go from the Center of solutions some how have been removed. But I don't know which ones or

    even how to get back them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Pleae insert the printer installation CD and contant go through it:

    Locate Setup\SolutionCenter\SolutionCenter.msi, right click on the file and click on repair.

    Confirm an alert during the installation.

    Search now Setup\Scan\Scan.msi, right-click, and then click on repair... to confirm an alert as before.

    Restart your PC and launch the HP Solution Center now.

    You don't see any change?

  • ENVY 4500 e-All-in-One-Series: 4500 want don't scan text to produce a searchable PDF file

    I used to have a printer Photosmart 4400 C that would allow me to scan to produce searchable PDF files, i.e. I could select letters or words in a text selection tool in my PDF reader.   Today, I just bought a DESIRE 4500 e-All-in-One-Series.  It will scan only text to give me a graphic PDF that is not searchable.  I've updated to the latest version of the EN4500_198.exe driver, but it does not help.

    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello

    No, the 4500 desire doesn't have any default OCR software, you will have to pay for the software and believe it or not, that the software is more expensive than the printer itself. You can buy the software or you can try to use some free software around:

  • I tried to connect my printer HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series to my Dell Inspiron 15

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi Bill,

    I tried to connect my HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-One Series printer to my Dell Inspiron 15 for two days without success.  Can you help me?

    Lenora,

    I have a HP DeskJet 2540 on my Dell Inspiron 1545.

    The instructions from HP work so you should be fine if you follow them.  The CD contains a ReadMe file that describes the installation procedure.

    You must install the software first, and only then connect the printer.  Note that you will first need to install it on a USB connection.  You can change this later if, like me, you intend to use it with WiFi.

  • want to 4500 all-in-one series

    I bought an envy4500 all in one series and after all tests and installation correctly, I had only one problem: when I print from excel files including 'grid' the printer will print all the lines in files. Sometimes jump the line grids, then print two or three grids correctily and back to the grid (lines). I made a copy of old copies and the copy was perfect.

    Thank you

    jbtpa

    Impression in 'best' or 'quality' mode should solve your problem.

    Alternatively, you can also use any other border style in Excel and it should print correctly.

    I would be grateful if this does not resolve your problem, or a problem on something other then Excel, border 'Style 2' in mode 'Normal' or 'Draft' hearing.

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Is the printer connected to your PC by USB or network?

    Using the USB connection, you can scan using Windows Fax and Scan software built into your operating system.

    Scanning over a network connection unfortunately supported on Windows7 32 bit only, as you can find listed in the section about network scanning below:

  • Help me buy a new all-in-one which will scan to pdf with preview multipage

    I need a new all-in-one, like the OfficeJet HP 6700 Premium e-all-in-one printer, which I watched in a store.  The box was not clear about the capabilities.

    What I do with old HP all-in-one on an old XP, (11-12 years) old machine is scanning documents to preview multipage PDF, so I can adjust the margins and other things, and if I did not have many PDF files for a multi-page document.  I do this a LOT, I need, it is not a such PITB.    I have not found a way to do this with the printers I have, my new computer so I have to go do it on a slow XP machine in another room.  I can only print at the old printer to my new computer.

    I'm used to using the HP, but those I have is old, my old XP machine (6 years) so it is more reliable and my new computer Windows 7 Professional 64 - bit, and Windows 7 drivers for my old all-in-one are not full function, if they still exist, plus we have several computers and tablets on our network now.   None of the older all-in-one I will do what I need for my new computer, if they'll even install (you look, Dell).

    What I need to know, it's done with Windows 7 on HP OfficeJet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one printer?  (Scan multipage PDF with the HP software preview.) The info on the box was not clear.  If not, is there a model preferably wireless all-in-one that will work for me?  I can plug it into a USB port on my new computer, there are several USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports.  I would like to be able to print wireless from other devices, but this isn't a deal breaker.  I don't want to have to download a few fragmentary shareware or buy a high price to accomplish what I was able to do with the software before HP, on old all-in-one.

    That's what I needed.  Why hell isn't in the ^ & *) & ^ % manual?
