use.
Connect the power supply
The power supply has an attached cable that plugs into the back of the scanner. The
connector on the end of this cable has a green LED that is on when the power supply is
functioning correctly.
The power supply also has an AC cable that is connected to the power supply on one
end and plugged into a power outlet or surge protector on the other end.

3. Check that the green LED on the power supply cable connector is on.
• If the green LED is not on, ensure that power is available to the power outlet or
surge protector that the AC cable is plugged into.
• If power is available to the power outlet or surge protector but the green LED is
still not on, the power supply might be defective. Contact HP Support for
assistance.
4. If the green LED is on, plug the power supply into the back of the scanner.
5. Press the Power switch on the back of the scanner to the on position.
Connect the USB cable
