• HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: HP Deskjet 2540 Scan works only in Windows 10

  Have upgraded to Windows 10 (not sure if 32 or 64 bit).  Now cannot scan.  Have tried uninstalling/reinstalling, loading HP Print and Scan and HP Support Assistant doctor and does everything that is asked.  However, the software that load every time is just the basic application that allows printing - it shows not all the scanning application.  Tried to use the scan software very basic own Windows, which communicates with the scanner and scans indeed, but not in PDF format (VERY base).  Help, please.

  Welcome to the HP community @Hippy79,

  I understand the printing software will not fully installed for your Deskjet 2540 on your system Windows 10, causing problems of scanning software and I would try to help! Here are my suggestions for you to try. When you are finished, please let me know the results and problems or errors that you may encounter!

  First step: clean boot, restart the PC and try the install again.

  1. start by typing "msconfig" in the search box of Cortana, and then click MSConfig (run command)
  On your keyboard press Windows + R key at same time and type Msconfig in the run window, and then click OK or press ENTER.

  2. now, choose Selective startup

  3. Remove the check of the Load Startup items

  4. click on the Services tab

  5. check "hide all Microsoft Services" and then click on disable all

  6. click apply , then OK

  7 restart the PC and temporarily disable firewalls or antivirus programs

  8 run the Installation Wizard for Windows HP printer to install the printer

  9 turn on the firewall and start services

  Second step: you unregister and re-register the Windows Installer Service:

  1. hold down the Windows key + R to fill the box "Run" and type cmd.exe, and then click OK.
  2. at the command prompt, type msiexec /Unregister , and then press ENTER.
  3. at the command prompt, type msiexec/regserver, and then press ENTER.
  4. at the command prompt, type exit and press ENTER to close the command prompt.
  5. run the Wizard for Windows HP printer installation

  Step 3: run System File Checker Scan (up to 3 times) to repair the corrupted system files:
  1. go to start
  2. type CMD
  3 right-click and run as administrator
  4. to check and repair the OS type sfc/scannow (note the space between sfc and ' / ')

  You may need to run this upward to 3 times to solve all the problems

  When finished, it will say one of three things
  Windows did not find any breach of integrity (a good thing)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files and repair the (good)
  Windows resource protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some (or all) of them (not a good thing)

  Try to reinstall the printer.

  Step 4: activate the built-in Windows administrator account

  source

  1. first of all, you'll need to open an administrator mode command prompt by right-clicking and choosing "run as Administrator" (or use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Enter in the search box).

  Note that it works the same in all versions of Windows. It just search for cmd and then do a right-click on the icon of the command prompt in the start menu or the boot screen.

  

  2. If you are in Windows 8.x or 10 you can click on the Start button and choose to open a command prompt in this way.

  3. now type the following command:

  NET user administrator / Active: Yes

  

  4. you should see a message that the command completed successfully. Log out, and you will now see the administrator as a choice account.

   

  You will notice that there is no password for this account, so if you want to leave it enabled, you must change the password.

  Try to reinstall the printer.

• DeskJet 2540: Scanning error

  Nothing wrong with printing - the computer recognizes that she and I can print etc. However, I am unable to do two things:
  1. install the wireless connection
  2 do the analysis. When you use the "print and Scan Doctor", I get this message:
  Driver error: the scan driver is unable to communicate with the product.

  I removed and reconnected the power cord and restart the computer, but it still does not work.

  I jumped the scan after that and found that everything (except Driver and HP Twain Scan error check) has a green check mark.

  Would be grateful for the help. Thank you!

  If we had a go at the download for use on the laptop - there were a few problems, but in the end, we managed to get this working

  It's questions and that's how we overcame the

  1 no internet connection on the machine, downloaded the link on a stick of a connected machine, copied on the laptop and I tried to extract and run. Excerpts, but would not go beyond Set - up. Tried several times, even issue and tried to connect to microsoft.net framework, saying that they had the 3.5 version to continue. (only version 2 on XP laptop)

  2 used in m/c to load the .net framework 3.5 on memory stick, transfer it to laptop and run, but still kept trying to connect to the internet to run it out of there.

  3 so focused in trying to establish an internet connection and wifi on the laptop. After a lot of pain reached this, went to the site of microsoft and .net framework 3.5 directly downloaded on laptop with the statement to execute. Has taken a while but it downloaded and installed. Computer restarted-watch installation qualified.

  4 then tried the same thing with the HP link above - IE a download direct and executed. He ran, followed the instructions and connected the printer when requested. All steps except activation - wouldn't connect on the HP Web site link.

  5 creates a document word on the laptop, tried to print it - that prompted a test page and the mod by placing the page printed on the scanner. At the end of the word doc printed. Clicked on the button to say activation to change the time.

  Printer 6 now seems to work fine, just like Copier and scanner - we keep our fingers crossed that it continues!

• DeskJet 2542: Scanning with HP 2542

  I'm trying to analyze a certificate. Using my desktop computer, my scanner triggered the file in 15 separate files. He is an Alien Ware Area 51, running with Windows 7. My laptop, Dell Inspiron 15, 10 windows OS, he intones 32 different files.  HOW DO I MAKE IT ONLY 1 FILE?

  Hello @rayshoeand welcome to the Forums of HP, I hope you enjoy your experience!

  I see that you have questions about your scanning options.  I would like to help!

  You have problems, make a copy, as opposed to a scan?

  I recommend to remove printer ink cartridges and reset the power supply.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

  I suggest also download and run the HP print and Scan Doctor.

  Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting operations. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums!

• DeskJet 2540: Deskjet 2540 print and Scan works on Windows 10

  I have installled, uninstalled and reinstalled the software half a dozen times now, on my Windows 10 machine, but I still don't have any interface to scan documents.

  The installation process has shown a success install and I was able to recognize and connect to the printer. In my Start menu, the new option 'Scan & Print' is there, as shown in the screenshot (click on the screenshot to the size of the full image).

  But when I click on the option, instead of the usual analysis and the dialog box print, I am faced with a new printer 'Connect' and 'Add more software' options (see screenshot below).

  How can I get to the good old scan dialog box?

  Among others, I used to have an option here to scan directly to PDF. This option is not accessible from anywhere on the machine and is something I desperately need to back.

  Has it been removed from version 10 of Windows? I ran a search for "Scan" computer, but the only options I get are native Windows analysis (which works very well for the individual photos) and this dialog box. Nothing that would allow me to scan a document of several pages in PDF format

• HP Deskjet HP 2540: scan to jpeg or e-mail file is broken down into blocks on hp2540

  as above, I have an all in one printer scanner Deskjet 2540, 81-32-bit windows-based, using the chrome browser.

  I've never printed successly JPEG at the request of file or email.

  Whenever I try to use it, it transfer itself on my pc in the form of small blocks lying each containing a few letters of the page that has been scanned, it distributes itself a new scan for each block number, IE when I click to see, a single block presents itself with a few letters in in.

  It does not have the pdf or tif, so I oviously use that!

  I've tried the settings for each attempt of all sizes to scan, complete scan down, as well as point resolution and file tye...

  It seems unnecessary given jpeg there.

  Now the question arises, what is my fault or the fault of machines, or is it just a matter of hitting a few buttons? It is still under warranty as well!

  Easy on the techy answers please, I was born in 1942, the war was still on and we had to run to the nearest phonebox to call 999, I saw an orange until 1946, and the BBC was still trust, outside the propaganda that they spread. The number of deaths in London for 57 days continuous bombing has been 32 000, with 87000, seriously injured.

  Makes the Twin Tiwers pale into insignificance is not.

• 2540 deskjet Wireless: scan to PDF from 2540 deskjet wireless

  Hello, once that it was the hpscan tool.

  with this tool, I could connect to a deskjet 2540 in a wireless network and make a pdf of several pages of analysis.

  This tool no longer works on windows 10.

  The fast lane only that I could find was to use windows fax 10 and scanning Windows utility and imagemagick.

  Is there a tool by hp, works on windows 10, who can listen to the pages scanned and placed on a pdf file?

• HP Deskjet 2540 don't Scan

  How do I get this to analyze?

  Thank you

  Hello AsusMan,

  Welcome to the HP Forums!

  I understand that you are unable to scan a document using the Deskjet 2540. I will do my best to help you! What is your operating system on your computer? Windowsor Mac?

  I recommend the continuation of this entire HP document on an error occurred while scanning "Message appears when scanning on the computer via a USB connection in Windows. "

  I know that you are able to scan a document using a Wi - Fi connection, but you want to ensure that the software is correct when a USB cable is connected. At the end of this document, it does not specify to uninstall/reinstall the software. (Only if you reach the end of this document.)

  Please post your results, I'll be looking forward to hear from you.
