Frequently Asked Questions - Scanjet Enterprise Flow 7000 s2 HP

How do I clean the scanner rollers?

Open the ADF cover. Use a lint-free cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol to gently wipe the rollers. Rotate the rollers by hand to clean all surfaces. Let them dry completely before use.

Why is the scanner not picking up paper?

Check the paper guides are adjusted to the paper size. Ensure the paper stack is not overfilled (max 50 sheets). Clean the rollers and ADF pad. If the issue persists, the separation pad may need replacement.

How do I scan double-sided documents automatically?

Place the document in the ADF. In the scanning software (e.g., HP Scan), select 'Duplex' or 'Two-sided' scanning. The scanner will automatically flip the pages and scan both sides.

What file formats can I save scans in?

You can save scans as PDF (including searchable PDF), JPEG, TIFF, BMP, PNG, DOCX, XLSX, and TXT. The software allows you to choose the format before scanning.

How do I replace the ADF separation pad?

Open the ADF cover. Remove the old separation pad by pressing the tabs. Insert the new pad and press until it clicks. Close the cover. The part number is L2712A.

The scanner is making a grinding noise. What should I do?

Check for any paper jams or debris in the paper path. If no obstruction, the gears may be worn. Contact HP support for repair. Regular cleaning can prevent such issues.

Can I scan documents directly to a network folder?

Yes, using the HP Scan software, you can configure a network folder (e.g., SMB) as a scan destination. Set up the folder path in the software's destination settings.

What is the maximum daily duty cycle?

The recommended daily duty cycle is up to 4,000 pages. Exceeding this may reduce the lifespan of the scanner. For high-volume use, consider an enterprise model.

How do I create a searchable PDF?

In the HP Scan software, select 'PDF' as file type and enable 'OCR' or 'Make searchable'. The scanner will apply optical character recognition to make the PDF text searchable.

The scanner is not recognized by my computer. What do I do?

Ensure the USB cable is connected to a USB 3.0 port. Reinstall the HP scanner driver from the official website. Restart both the scanner and computer. If using macOS, check System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.

About scan profiles

If you have scan tasks that you perform frequently, you can use a scan profile to create and save a set of scan settings. This lets you quickly use the same settings each time you perform a specific scan task. You can also map a scan profile to a scanner button.

Once a profile is created, you can use the HP Smart Document Scan Software to:

• Select a profile and start a scan • Edit a profile • Delete a profile • Create a new profile based on an existing profile

TIP: HP Smart Document Scan Software comes with default profiles to get you started.

If you want to use your profiles from the Scan Simplex (☐) and Scan Duplex (☐) buttons, use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to:

• Add profiles to the scanner LCD's profile list • Reorder profiles in the scanner LCD's profile list • Delete profiles from the scanner LCD's profile list

Scanner software

The scanner comes with a variety of scanning and document-management programs, including:

• HP Smart Document Scan Software • HP Scanner Tools Utility • HP TWAIN

2 Use the scanner

The following topics describe how to load and scan originals.

• Load originals
• Scan documents

Load originals

• Document loading tips - Load documents - Load cards into the document feeder

Document loading tips

The maximum capacity of the document feeder is 50 sheets of 75 g/m² (20 lb) paper. When using heavier paper, the maximum capacity is decreased. The maximum card capacity, for card stock up to 15 points, is approximately 9–10 cards. - Be sure that your documents are within these guidelines:

Width: 52 mm to 220 mm (2.1 in to 8.7 in)

Length: 74 mm to 3100 mm (2.9 in to 122 in)

Weight: 41 g/m² to 209 g/m² (11 lb to 56 lb)

• Use the Auto detect size setting for page size, or set the page size to match the width and length of the page that you are scanning. The scanner document feeder can process cards that meet the following specifications:

Minimum size: 52 mm x 74 mm (2.1 in x 2.9 in)

Maximum size: 210 mm x 269 mm (8.3 in x 10.6 in)

Minimum weight: 253 g/m² (12 points or 102 lb)

Maximum weight: 326 g/m² (15 points or 120 lb)

- Scanning the following types of documents might result in paper jams or damage to the documents.

Wrinkled or creased documents Curled documents

	Torn documents Documents with paper c
	Carbon paper Coated paper
	Extremely thin, translucent paper		Paper with adhesive notes or flags attached
	Photos Overhead transparencies
	Papers that are stuck together Paper whe		as not fully dried, or with wet substances such as glue or correction fluid

• Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the feeder. If the leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.
• When loading paper that is smaller than 74 mm (2.9 in) in one dimension (such as business cards), place the pages with the long side parallel to the paper guides.
• To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no wider than 220 mm (8.7 in) before loading them into the document feeder.

TIP: If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider using a sleeve intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve is no more than 220 mm (8.7 in) wide.

• Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly close the hatch, press until you hear a click. - Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Make sure that the paper guides touch the edges of the original. If there is any clearance between the paper guides and the edges of the documents, the scanned image might be skewed. - When placing a stack of documents into the feeder, gently set the stack in the document feeder. Do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed the stack in the document feeder. - Clean the scan rollers if the rollers are visibly dirty or after scanning a document written with or written on with pencil.

Load documents

1. Extend the document feeder and output tray.

a. Locate the recessed gray document feeder extension at the top of the input tray, and then press down at the arrow and release to extend the document feeder.

b. Slide out the output tray, and then fold out the output tray extension and paper guides.

1. Adjust the paper guides on the document feeder to the width of the documents. Take care not to overtighten the guides, which can restrict paper feeding.

When scanning small originals such as checks, it is especially important that the paper guides fit snugly against the edges of the original yet not restrict paper feeding.

1. Fan the stack of document pages to ensure that the pages do not stick together. Fan the edge that will be pointing into the feeder in one direction, and then fan that same edge in the opposite direction.

1. Align the edges of the documents by tapping the bottom of the stack against the table top. Rotate the stack 90 degrees and repeat.

1. Gently set the stack in the document feeder. Load the pages face down with the top of the pages pointing into the feeder.

For best results, do not drop the stack into the feeder and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed it in the document feeder.

TIP: Avoid feeding a document with a leading edge that has been folded or frayed. When you begin scanning, select a profile whose page loading selection matches the edge you are feeding first to ensure that the scan reflects the orientation of the original document.

1. Verify that the paper guides are aligned with the edges of the stack.

Load cards into the document feeder

To load cards into the document feeder, follow these steps:

1. Place the stack of cards face down with the long dimension parallel to the paper guides.

1. Adjust the paper guides to center the cards, making sure the paper guides touch the edges of the cards.

Scan documents

Profiles can be exported into and imported from an XML file so that administrators can set up profiles for a workgroup, users can transfer their profiles from one machine to another, and users can share custom profiles with each other.

For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software Help.

Scan long or extra-long documents

By default, the scanner will automatically detect your page size using the Auto detect size selection in the page size drop-down list. If you select Auto detect standard size, the scanner will identify the page size based upon one of the standard sizes in the list. These auto-detect selections work on any page size up to 356 mm (14 in) in length.

If the scanner is set to scan long or extra-long pages and a page jams, the entire page could be wrinkled as a result of the jam. Therefore, select scan profiles that specify long or extra-long pages only when you are scanning pages longer than 356 mm (14 in).

To enable long or extra-long page scans in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Page Size.
4. Select the appropriate long-page option.
5. Long (automatic document feeder [ADF] scanning only) scans pages with a length between 356 mm (14 in) and 864 mm (34 in). This mode disables features such as high-performance scanning and selection areas.
6. Extra Long (automatic document feeder [ADF] scanning only) scans pages with a length between 864 mm (34 in) and 3100 mm (122 in). This mode disables features such as high-performance scanning and selection areas.

The maximum resolution for a document length 864 mm (34 in) or longer is 200 dpi.

NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to set the page size when scanning from non-HP applications.

Some scanning and destination software might not support all of the page sizes that the scanner accepts.

Faster scanning with hardware compression

The scanner supports multiple levels of JPEG compression to increase the rate of data transfer from the scanner to the scanning software on the computer. The scanning software can uncompress the data in order to create scanned images. JPEG compression works on grayscale and color scans.

To enable faster data transfer in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Hardware Options.
4. Use the Data transfer slider to set the level of compression.

- Higher quality sets compression to a lower value, resulting in slower data transmission.

- Lower quality sets compression to a higher value, resulting in faster data transmission.

NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to control compression when scanning from non-HP software.

Filter out color from a document (color dropout)

You can filter out a color channel (red, green, or blue) or up to three individual colors. For specific colors, the sensitivity setting controls how closely a scanned color must approximate the specified color.

Removing colors from the scan might reduce the scan file size and improve optical character recognition (OCR) results.

To select colors to eliminate from a scan in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. On the Scan Settings tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Color Dropout.
4. Under Color dropout, specify the color dropout settings.

Only the color dropout options available for your scanner are selectable.

For information about the color dropout settings, see the online help for the scanning software that you are using.

NOTE: The color channel filter only applies to grayscale scans and to black and white scans. Specific color filters apply to all color modes.

Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to filter out color when scanning from non-HP scanning software.

Automatically detect page size

By default, the scanner will automatically detect your page size using the Auto detect size option, and will crop the scanned image to the size of the detected page and straighten any skewed content.

NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to set crop options when scanning from non-HP scanning software.

For information about the auto-crop settings, see the online help for the scanning software that you are using.

Automatically crop scanned image

To automatically crop a scan, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. Select your crop options
4. To automatically crop to the content of the document, click the Image Processing tab of the Profile Edit dialog box, select the Crop to content on page check box, and then click Crop settings.

For information about the auto-crop settings, see the online help for the scanning software that you are using.

Automatically detect color

You can use this feature to reduce the size of the scanned file by only saving pages that contain color as color scans, and saving all other pages as black and white.

To automatically detect color in a scanned image, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. On the Scan Settings tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Image Options, and then select Auto detect color from the Mode drop-down list.

NOTE: For information about the automatic color detection settings, see the online help for the scanning software that you are using.

Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to automatically detect color when scanning from non-HP scanning software.

The LCD is having display issues or scanner buttons are not working as expected

The following symptoms indicate a problem with the scanner front panel.

• LCD issues: The display is blank, or part of the display content is missing. - Button issues: Buttons are unresponsive, or the wrong action occurs when you press a button (for example, you get a single-sided scan when you press Scan Duplex). • LED issues: LEDs are not working, or are staying in the wrong state.

If the scanner exhibits any of these problems, contact HP support at www.hp.com/support.

Scanner does not scan right away

Make sure the document feeder hatch is closed, and that the scanner is turned on.

Scanner scans only one side of a two-sided page

• When scanning using the scanner buttons, press Scan Duplex (B).
• When using a scan profile for a non-HP application, verify that the application supports duplex scanning.

Scanned pages are missing at the scan destination

When scanning, pages that stick together are scanned as one item. The hidden pages are not scanned.

The misfeed (multipick) detection feature stops the scan if multiple pages are fed into the scanner at one time. To enable misfeed (multipick) detection in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:

1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Profile Edit.
3. On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, select Hardware Options.
4. Select the Misfeed (multipick) detection check box.

Scanned image is fuzzy

• Verify that the document original is not fuzzy.
• Use the Kofax Virtual ReScan Software which shipped with your scanner to process the scanned data. This software cleans up the image and compresses the data.
• Check for any obstructions in the scanner paper path and make sure the paper width guides are positioned appropriately. Try another scan.
• Clean the scanning strips inside the document feeder.
• Check the data transfer compression setting. If scanner compression is high, scanned data might be lost by the compression.

Scanned pages are out of order at the scan destination

• Verify that the page order of the original document is correct before placing the document face down into the document feeder. Make sure that there are no staples, paper clips, or any other attached material (such as adhesive notes) that may cause the pages to feed incorrectly. Verify that pages are not stuck together.

Optimize scanning and task speeds

Several settings influence the total time for a scanning job. When you want to optimize scanning performance, consider the following information.

• To optimize performance, make sure your computer meets the recommended system requirements. To view minimum and recommended system requirements, see www.hp.com, select your country/region, search on your scanner model, and then search on datasheet.
• In the scanning software, choose the layout setting that matches the orientation of the originals in the document feeder.
• In the HP Smart Document Scan Software, adjust the data transfer rate. A low setting produces a higher quality scan image at a slower scan speed; a high setting produces a lower quality scan image at a faster scan speed. For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software Help.
• Saving a scanned image to a searchable format (for example, searchable PDF) takes more time than saving to an image format because the scanned image is analyzed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). Verify that you need a searchable output file before selecting a searchable scan format.

NOTE: For the best OCR results, scanner compression should be set to the minimum compression level.

Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary increases scanning time and creates a larger file with no additional benefit. If you are scanning at a high resolution, set the resolution to a lower level to increase scanning speed.

The scan is completely black or completely white

• The item might not be placed correctly in the document feeder. Make sure that the item you are trying to scan is placed face down in the document feeder.
• If you are scanning to a black and white image, make sure your black and white threshold is not set to either extreme (0 or 255). Setting the threshold to an extreme will result in an image that is all white or all black.

Scanned images are not straight

• Verify that the document feeder guides are centered on the scanner and set to an appropriate width for the original being scanned. Make sure the paper guides touch the edges of the original.
• Use the Straighten Content feature to correct images that might have become skewed during the scanning process.

NOTE: Edge-based content straightening will happen automatically when you select Auto detect size as the page size option.

Vertical white stripes appear on the printed page

The destination printer might be out of toner or ink. Scan a different original to the same printer to see if the issue lies with the printer.

If the second scan has the same problem, try scanning to a different printer.

Vertical colored stripes appear on the printed page

Dust can build up on the scanning strips inside the document feeder and cause artifacts in scanned images. Clean the scanning strips with a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a mild glass cleaner.

Scan files are too large

If the saved scan files are very large, try the following:

• Most scanning software, including HP Smart Document Scan Software, allows you to select a smaller file size when selecting the output file type. • Verify the scan resolution setting:

200 dpi is sufficient for storing documents as images.

For most fonts, 300 dpi is sufficient for using optical character recognition (OCR) to create editable text.

For Asian fonts and small fonts, 400 dpi is the recommended resolution.

Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary creates a larger file with no additional benefit.

• Color scans create larger files than do black and white scans. - If you are scanning a large number of pages at one time, consider scanning fewer pages at a time to create more, smaller files. - Use the Kofax Virtual ReScan Software which shipped with your scanner to process the scanned data. This software cleans up the image and compresses the data, which can result in a smaller file.

Scanner buttons are not working correctly

After each step, press a button to see if it is working correctly. If the problem persists, proceed with the next step.

1. A cable might be loose. Ensure that the USB cable and the power supply are securely connected.
2. The HP Scanner Tools Utility might have been used to disable the buttons. If so, use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to re-enable the buttons.
3. Turn off the scanner, wait 30 seconds, and then turn the scanner back on.
4. Restart your computer.
5. If the problem persists, the buttons might be disabled outside of the HP Scanner Tools Utility. Try the following procedure:

a. Open Control Panel, select Hardware and Sound, and then select Scanners and Cameras (in Windows 7, select Hardware and Sound, and then select Devices and Printers).

b. Display the scanner properties:

• Windows XP and Vista: Right-click your scanner model, click Properties, and then click the Events tab.
• Windows 7: Right-click your scanner model, click Scan properties, and then click the Events tab.

Scanner paper path problems

• Paper jamming, skewing, misfeeds, or multiple-page feeds • Scanning fragile originals • Paper does not feed from the scanner • Originals are curling up in the scanner output tray. • The bottom of the scanned image is cut off • The scanned images have streaks or scratches • An item loaded in the scanner jams repeatedly • Clear jams from the scanner paper path

Paper jamming, skewing, misfeeds, or multiple-page feeds

• Scanning damp or wet pages can cause paper jams. Make sure that the pages you are feeding are completely dry (toner is dry, there are no wet substances such as glue or correction fluid).
• Check that all rollers are in place and that the roller door and document feeder hatch are closed.
• If the pages look skewed as they feed into the scanner paper path, check the resulting scanned images in the software to ensure that they are not skewed.
• The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the stack. The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work properly. Please ensure that the paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
• The document feeder or output tray might contain more than the maximum number of pages. Load fewer pages in the document feeder, and remove pages from the output tray.
• Clean the scanner paper path to help reduce misfeeds. If misfeeds still occur, clean the rollers. If misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.

Scanning fragile originals

To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no wider than 220 mm (8.7 in) before loading them into the document feeder.

TIP: If you do not have an appropriately-sized document sleeve, consider using a sleeve intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve is no more than 220 mm (8.7 in) wide.

Paper does not feed from the scanner

Reload the pages into the document feeder, ensuring that they make contact with the rollers.

The document feeder hatch might not be securely latched. Open the hatch and then close it, pressing firmly to ensure the hatch is closed.

A problem with the scanner hardware might exist. Follow this procedure to test the scanner:

1. Ensure that the power supply is securely connected between the scanner and a live electrical outlet or surge protector. Check that the green LED on the power supply case is on to verify that the power supply is functional.
2. If the power supply is connected to a surge protector, ensure that the surge protector is plugged into an outlet and turned on.
3. Press the Power ( ⏻) button to turn off the scanner, disconnect the power supply from the scanner, and then turn off the computer to which the scanner is connected. Wait 30 seconds, reconnect the power supply to the scanner, press the Power ( ⏻) button to turn on the scanner, and then turn on the computer.
4. Try to rescan.

Originals are curling up in the scanner output tray.

Under dry conditions, lightweight originals such as those printed on carbonless copy paper may curl in the output tray. To minimize curl, flatten curled edges on the originals before placing them in the document feeder. If you cannot flatten curled edges, make sure the curled edges are facing down when you place the originals in the document feeder.

The bottom of the scanned image is cut off

By default, the scanning software can scan media that is up to 356 mm (14 in) long. For longer pages, the end of the document is not included in the scanned image unless you specify a page size appropriate for the length of the original.

If you scan a page longer than the page size specified in the scanning software, the LCD will display a Paper Jam error.

The scanned images have streaks or scratches

After each step, try another scan to see if the streaks or scratches are still apparent. If so, then try the next step. For information on cleaning the scanner, see the Care and maintenance section of the User Guide.

• Check that the originals are clean and unwrinkled. • Clean the scanning strips inside the document feeder. Clean the rollers.

An item loaded in the scanner jams repeatedly

• The item might not meet the guidelines for acceptable originals. • The item might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes on the original that must be removed. • Make sure the paper guides touch the edges of the original.

Clear jams from the scanner paper path

To clear a paper jam, complete these steps:

1. Remove any pages from the document feeder.
2. Open the document feeder hatch.

1. Remove the originals or any obstructions from the paper path.
2. Remove any visible debris (for example, paper, staples, or clips) from the paper path.
