Wait for the computer to detect the scanner. You should see a notification stating "Device is ready to use."
Grinding Noises: Check the lock switch on the bottom of the scanner. If it is locked, the scanner head cannot move, which can cause mechanical strain.
Start by placing the scanner on a flat, stable surface near your computer. The HP ScanJet 200 is powered via USB, meaning it does not require a separate power cord or wall outlet. Locate the USB cable provided in the box.
"Scanner Not Found" Error: Ensure the USB cable is plugged directly into the computer rather than a USB hub, which may not provide enough power.
Unlock the scanner: Look for a locking switch on the bottom or side of the unit (used to protect the scanner head during shipping) and move it to the unlocked position. Step 2: Downloading the Correct Drivers
