Scanner wont scan

Yes follow the first steps to set up the scanner (charge it, properly insert the memory card, etc.) Then you are ready to scan
Once you press the SCAN button and the Green LED stays lit its time to roll the scanner down your document to be scanned. When finished press the Scan button again to STOP the scan. If successful your Document count in the display will move from 000 to 001. That is the only indication that you now have a successful scan.
Next Press and hold the SCAN button until the display goes blank.
Now you can remove the memory card (by pushing in and it will release). Place this memory card into a memory card reader on your computer to transfer and view your scanned documents. Rinse and repeat.
BTW, I found a quick start guide for this Pandigital Handheld Wand Scanner Model PANSCN08 at:

the board is likely bad.if you rplace the coply lamp unit and no change, then replace the board

Something is wrong with the scanner or communication to the scanner

I've got the same problem.

your scanner opean cling

Try scanning from your PC, if you have a program that will allow it... if you have Word '97, you can do it like this:

1. With your scanner ready and the image on the scanner glass, in Clip Organizer, on the File menu, point to Add Clips to Organizer, and then click From Scanner or Camera.
2. In the Insert Picture from Scanner or Camera dialog box, under Device, select the scanner.
3. Click Insert. The new clip appears in the My Collections folder, in a folder named after your scanner
   

If you do not have Word '97, but a program that SHOULD work but doesn't have the correct driver, go to www.twain.org for the latest twain-compliant drivers for your scanner! You may also be able to find a simple scanning app (in the downloads section) at www.cnet.com

Hope this helps!

I had a simular problem with my HpScanner. What I found myself, was the computer stopped recongnizing the program after a few uses. Check your computer programs and see if it's still in. Then if its not, reload it, or simply restart/reboot your computer and see if it recongnizes it then. I believe its a glitch in the programing from the scanner itself. Also just always check if your connections are easily tugged on, may have come loose. They may look connected, but the littelest separation would cause it not to function either. Let me know what happens.

If u find this kind of prob then u have scan the required stuff by using ur scanner software if u r using hp then go for controlpanel click on scanner and camera devices and follow the on screen instructions to scan the required one hope this will solve ur prob.

Try to install all of the software with the scan and use that to start your scan. The scan is not communicating to your pc yet.

Same thing happened with me. I just went to hp's website and downloaded the new driversdrivers.
