20 Most Recent HP ScanJet 6200C Flatbed Scanner Questions & Answers

take a look on the underside of the scanner. there may be a switch that goes from lock to unlock. try to move it to lock and back into unlock. this lock is usually used to lock the bar from moving during shipping. if this got moved back to lock or bumped while you had it turned over, the scanner will not allow the bar to move.. try this first.

With XP, no problem. Uninstall the scanner from the computer, and then reinstall it. It should work fine.
With later Windows (Vista or 7), I believe that your scanner does not yet have a working driver. Anyone else know of an available driver for either of these... please chime in.

problem on power adapter or USB cable not recognized properly.so you can check two things.

Yes,

I lost the CD of the hp jst scanner 6200c, but i down loaded the program on line. However, when I scan nothing appears on the screen and the scanner makes a lot of noise. The light does go on on the scanner but it doesnt scan i get a blank

Did you try connecting the scanner to a diffrent computer or tried a different cable to connect it to the computer?? Try this and let me know if there are any further concerns. Good Luck

The factory default is blank.

Sounds like the main circuit board fried. You can't repair it, thus replacement is the only option. That will not guarantee normal operation and your taking a chance one way or the other.

Install the drivers for it from the HP website. Other software for it should be there as well. As to scanning speed, setting it to scan at lower resolutions can speed scanning. Scanning for color is slower than scanning for Black and White, FYI.

see Chapter 3 pages 12 to 15 of the attached manual http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c00293286&docLocale=en_US

Hah, hah. That is what happens when you upgrade unnecessarily to an operating system for which you do not have the correct driver. Unless HP provides a driver u are out of luck - they prefer that you buy a new scanner from them, of course!
