HP C7240 message "Unable to scan, copy or fax" appears when I lift the cover on dish

This happened for some time. Whenever I raise the lid, this message appears: "unable to scan, copy or send a fax. If I type "OK" everything returns to normal. I am able to fax and scanning from the doc feeder, but some things are just too thick to put thru. I tried to put my paper under the lid while the appliance has been turned off, so I was not raised the lid, perhaps thinking he might still scan from the dumpster, but no. I get the same message as soon as I turn on the printer. Running Windows 7.

In addition, there is a line on my paper when I scan through the doc feeder. No idea how to get clean or repair everything that makes the line?

Thank you!

Yes, life has a way of doing that sometimes.  I'm you a link to a document of troubleshooting for lines in copies of the automatic feeder (ADF) documents.  Click here  A thorough cleaning of the ADF will probably solve this problem.

The error message "Unable to copy, scan or fax" may be more difficult to overcome.  On the only step left that could be considered would be a semi full reset.  This reset the default printer and clear the memory.  If the printer was on a wireless network, it should be removed and would need to be reconnected.  If you want to try this, I can send you the steps in a private message.  I need you agree to not post the stages.  Let me know what you decide.

    Hello

    Please try the steps below...

    While the printer turned on, unplug the power cord from the back of the printer. Wait 60 seconds. Plug the power cord printer directly to a wall jack (bypass surge / power strip) and then to the printer.

    Open the scanner cover, and then press black COPY. Check if the scan transport moves and it's on. Transport scan is not turned on or move in all, then its time to replace the printer.

    You can try the HP scan diagnostic utility first, but in general the failure of the Scanner is a hardware problem that must be repaired. You can find the number of the media on the link below as well as the link to the Diagnostic utilities.

  • ooficejet HP 6600 not scan, copy or fax

    I get an error "unable to scan, copy or fax" on my hp officejet 6600.  I have already tried powerdown and back up and it did not work.  I also checked for updates and all this so far.  Any ideas on what could be the problem and how to fix it?

    Hi kscheck,

    I understand that you have a 6600 Officejet who tells you that it is not able to scan, copy or fax. I'm sorry to hear that, but I'll do my best to help you.

    I read that you don't have a power reset, by unplugging and reconnecting the printer, but you have plugged the printer directly to a wall outlet yet? Just, which ensures that the printer gets all the power it needs to function properly.

    If the printer is plugged into a wall and that you are still unable to scan, despite the update and reset of the printer then the last option to try is a partial reset. Please read this privacy statement for HP: http://bit.ly/pCUQT7 and continue to check your Inbox for the reset instructions.

    If the reset does not solve the problem, your only options than others is to call HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about what they can do for you now.

    Hope this helped, have a great day!

  • failure to scan, copy and fax for HP Officejet 4500

    I'm trying to scan with my HP Officejet 4500 and it is not allowing me to do. When I turn on the printer it says "failed to scan. "Cannot scan, copy or fax. When I try to scan, I have the wireless option to send it to my computer and when I choose my computer, nothing happens and it takes back me to the scan, copy, fax menu.

    I tried installation and resettlement and unistalling too many times. I also unplugged all the wires. Nothing works. I had problems with this mutiple printer and it is not even a month. How can I solve this problem.

    I'm afraid that the error you are getting means that the firmware is glitched, or the scanner lamp is out. If the firmware is glitched, the printer might actually be fixable, but if the scanner lamp is out, there is no much you can do. The document below will take you through a few steps to try. If this does not work, try to do a partial reset. If nothing works, you need to replace your printer. If you are still in warranty, HP can replace the printer without cost to you. I'll link the information to get in touch with them below. The link takes you to a form to fill out. Once you fill it and she is treated, it will give you the printers warranty information, a file number and the phone number to call.

    To make a partial reset:
    1. make sure that the printer is turned on.
    2. pull on the power cord from the printer.
    3. pull out the power cord from the wall.
    4. wait for 30 seconds.
    5 connect the power supply cord inot the wall, but do not connect the printer.
    6. press 3 and # buttons.
    7. while now buttons, plug in the printer.
    8. when the lights come on, release the buttons.

  • Get the message - "Unable to create my object of security" when open My Safe

    Whenever I try to open the folder 'my safe' I get this message...

    Cannot create my safe view object.
    My chest cannot be unlocked, because its data file is currently in use or has just been used by another application. Unlocking cannot continue until the safe My data file is closed and removed from the cache files of the operating system. This is usually a temporary condition. Wait a few seconds and try again.

    Does anyone know how to do to solve this problem, or if someone has had this problem before?

    Hello

    I guess that any application that runs in the background OS possibly use my secure file and therefore, you get this message.

    I studied a bit and it seems that my Safe is part of protection as a result of the pre-installed software.
    I think that the software of fingerprints (part of the suite software Protect) need the My Safe secure file date of the user. This file you can import or export the Passport form.

    In my opinion, the fingerprint use my safe and it's why the message.
    Perhaps that the settings are saved only in the cache and that's why you should remove.

    Go to the properties of the HARD drive and on the general tab, you will find disk cleanup option. Run it and don't remove all of the necessary files.

  • Unable to get copy of targeting DAQmx.dll 4.5 / / the type 'NationalInstruments.ISynchronizeCallbacks' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

    I inherited a software project that uses the NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll library. I currently have the 13.0.40 32-bit version of the library. I rewrite the 64 bit .NET 4.5 and have found problems when you use the 13.0.40 version. Namely the two errors below

    Error    1    type 'NationalInstruments.ISupportSynchronizationContext' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly ' NationalInstruments.Common, Version = 13.0.40.190...
    Error 2 type 'NationalInstruments.ISynchronizeCallbacks' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly ' NationalInstruments.Common, Version = 13.0.40.190...

    Research mistakes online, I think that the problem is that my current DAQmx.dll is the .NET 4.0 framework and my new project target .NET 4.5.

    I went on the Web site of NOR and downloaded the NI DAQmx 15.1 "Downloader" (found here http://www.ni.com/download/ni-daqmx-15.1/5617/en/). This executable, once executed, then downloads ~1.7GB compressed files, once unpacked there are a large number of software and current documentation. After speaking with an engineer application OR on the phone he asked me to launch the NI DAQmx setup in the top level of the unpacked files folder. He then installed what I would call the Suite OR software... (Front flip, after I did an uninstall, the uninstall program me notified that I'm removing 224 pieces of software.) So why I call it the Suite OR).

    After installation, I was tasked to search for a similar folder installation directory to MStudio / / DAQmx / / DotNET / / assemblies / / current for the new version of the DAQmx.dll but only found dll starting with NationalInstruments.Common and anything ending with DAQmx. I also did a search on the full installation for the dll directory and found no NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll. I decided to try the . Common.dll suggests that the naming convention may had changed, nothing helps.

    (Just some extra info) Finally, I went to the machine that has the old version of the Suite OR on it (I develop on a separate computer from the one using my instrument NOR) and looked under the same folder I mentioned above. Under this folder I locate a NationalInstrument.DAQmx.dll if this is the one I currently use. I also find a 64-bit version of the 13.0.40 dll, which is nice, but still has the same problems as the 32-bit version.

    So I guess my questions are now

    • Do I have reason to think that I need a newer dll? The one with the XX naming convention. XX.45 (15.1.45, I hope)?

    • If so, a DAQmx.dll who target 4.5 is of NEITHER?

    • If it does not exist, where can I find it? ...

    Well, I think I have mislead you again NYC. It seems that my problem has not been resolved. I tried all the libraries for each version, Measurement Studio from 2010 to 2013.

    The folder structure I have is as follows.

    \MeasurementStudioVS2010\\DotNET\\Assemblies\\Current\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll
    \MeasurementStudioVS2010\\DotNET\\Assemblies\\15.1.40.61\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2010\\DotNET\\Assemblies (64-bit)\\Current\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2010\\DotNET\\Assemblies (64-bit)\\15.1.40.61\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2012\\DotNET\\Assemblies\\Current\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2012\\DotNET\\Assemblies\\15.1.45.61\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2012\\DotNET\\Assemblies (64-bit)\\Current\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2012\\DotNET\\Assemblies (64-bit)-15.1.45.61\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll

    \MeasurementStudioVS2013\\DotNET\\Assemblies\\15.1.45.61\\NationalInstruments.DAQmx.ComponentModel.dll

    Obvious all directories not marked 64 bits fail because they are not 64-bit. Directories marked 15.1.40.61 do not work gives me the original error. because they target DotNET 4.0. Under the VS2013 directories are not NationalInstruments.DAQmx.ComponentModel.dll only NationalInstruments.DAQmx.dll. Directories marked with 15.1.45.61 highlighted give the same error, namely

    Error 1 the type 'NationalInstruments.ISupportSynchronizationContext' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly ' NationalInstruments.Common, Version =15.0.40. 49154...

    Which I guess means that the name of the 15.1.45 directory does not coincide with the 15.0.40dll version. Am I misunderstanding this error, or am I wrong that the dll under 15.1.45 are not what they are labeled as?

    For reference, here are two snippits of code I'm trying to do work.

    using (NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Task analogWriteTask = NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Task (()) new / / errors arise here using task
    {
    String [] channels = DaqSystem.Local.GetPhysicalChannels (PhysicalChannelTypes.AO, PhysicalChannelAccess.External);
    analogWriteTask.AOChannels.CreateVoltageChannel (channels [1], "aoChannel", MIN_VOLTAGE_OUT_THEORETICAL, MAX_VOLTAGE_OUT, AOVoltageUnits.Volts);
    AnalogSingleChannelWriter writer = new AnalogSingleChannelWriter (analogWriteTask.Stream);
    writer. WriteSingleSample (commandValue, true);
    }

    using (NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Task digitalWriteTask = NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Task (()) new / / errors arise here using task
    {
    String [] channels = DaqSystem.Local.GetPhysicalChannels (PhysicalChannelTypes.DOPort, PhysicalChannelAccess.External);
    digitalWriteTask.DOChannels.CreateChannel (channels [1], "port1", ChannelLineGrouping.OneChannelForAllLines);
    DigitalSingleChannelWriter writer = new DigitalSingleChannelWriter (digitalWriteTask.Stream);
    writer. WriteSingleSampleMultiLine (commandValue, true);
    }

    EDIT: So the real problem is that I have not included NationalInstruments.DAQmx.Common.dll in my project.
