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

Scanner does not work after installation
If the scanner does not work after installation, you might see one of the following
messages displayed on the computer:
•The scanner could not be initialized.
•The scanner could not be found.
•An internal error has occurred.
•The computer cannot communicate with the scanner.
Try the following to fix the problem:
Check the cables
Verify that the cable connections are in working order.
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.
The power cable is connected between the scanner and a power outlet.
1. Check that the green LED on the power supply cable connector is on.
2. 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.
3. 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. Check that the power rocker switch is in the on position.
14HP Scanjet N7710 Scanner
USB cable
Check the physical connection to the scanner:
•Use the cable that was included with the scanner. Another USB cable might not be
compatible with the scanner.
•Ensure that the USB cable is securely connected between the scanner and the
computer or USB hub. The trident icon on the USB cable faces up when the cable is
properly connected to the scanner.
To troubleshoot the USB connection:
1. Do one of the following tasks depending on how the scanner is connected to the
computer:
•If the USB cable is connected to a USB hub or a docking station for a laptop,
disconnect the USB cable from the USB hub or the docking station, and then
connect the USB cable directly to the computer.
•If the USB cable is directly connected to the computer, plug it into another USB
port on the computer.
•Remove all other USB devices from the computer except for the keyboard and
the mouse.
2. Turn the scanner off and then on.
3. Restart the computer.
4. After the computer has restarted, try using the scanner.
If the scanner works and you changed the way it was connected to the computer in
step 1, the communication problem might involve the USB hub or docking station.
Leave the scanner directly connected to the computer.
If the scanner does not work, uninstall and then reinstall the HP scanning software.
English
Uninstall and then reinstall the HP Scanjet drivers and utilities
If checking the scanner cable connections did not solve the problem, the problem might
have occurred because of an incomplete installation. Try uninstalling and then reinstalling
the HP scanning drivers and utilities.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the computer.
2. Use the Add/Remove tool (in Windows Vista, the Programs and Features tool) from
the Control Panel to uninstall the following applications:
•HP Scanjet N7710 Document ISIS/TWAIN
•HP Scanjet Drivers and Tools
3. After the HP scanning software is removed, unplug the scanner from the electrical
outlet.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Insert the HP Scanning Software CD in the computer CD drive.
