the scan is currently in use . Please wait until your previous task is complete and then try again late

Hello @Olad , and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
I see you're having issues scanning.  I would like to help!
Do you have any issues making a copy, as opposed to a scan?
I'd recommend starting with a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
I would also recommend downloading and running the HP Print and Scan Doctor.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • I cannot eject external HD: "the volume is currently in use". Why?

    I have a Maxtor 500GB HD attached via USB to my laptop. Quite often, when I want to detach it I get the message: "The Volume could not be ejected because it is currently in use". However, I am NOT aware of ANY active application that is still using the HD.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Although this might be wise, it cannot be considered a solution valuable to an Austrian.
    Would Arnie wait for his drive to disconnect? "Moo-f it - or Y'll crush you!"
    Certainly not, in a hero's life time can be of extreme value.
    Coincidentally I'm Austrian too and often face the same problem.
    I just make sure that no major piece of software (check dock) is running, then I start counting down 10...9...and pull the plug on "8", not very fair but the right thing to do given the circumstances. So far I haven't lost any data, even better the problem has dissappeared, obviously the computer now shows some respect, down to the tiniest hard drive hogging little thread.
    Disclaimer: Take this advice only if you truly have the guts standing up against your operating system and are willing to face the consequences...don't let me see that twitch in your eye when them GB's throw you a final "Hasta la vista".

  • Find the startpage of current web using javascript?

    I want to hide a "div" from all startpages/welcomepages. But I cant just compare "start.aspx" and my url parameter cause sometimes the page "start.aspx" isn't there in the url. Is there a way to know if I'm on a "startpage"
    or not using javascript?

    SPWeb has RootFolder which internally has WelcomePage property. You can use that to get this information
    var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
    var spWeb = clientContext.get_web();
    var rootFolder = spWeb.get_rootFolder();
    clientContext.load(rootFolder, 'WelcomePage');
    clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, onQueryFailed));
    function onQuerySucceeded() {
    alert(rootFolder.get_welcomePage());
    function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
    alert('error');
    In case of publishing web
    var web = context.get_web();
    var pubWeb = SP.Publishing.PublishingWeb.getPublishingWeb(context, web);
    context.load(pubWeb, 'DefaultPage');

  • Can the same I/Os be used for both scan mode and fpga mode

    Hey guys,
    I currently have this project where I want to have the same I/O in both the RT VI and FPGA VI.
    (as in use a C series module on the RT VI and FPGA VI concurrently).
    For the customer's sake, I want to keep using the scan mode for the ease of programming,
    but I want to use the I/Os in the FPGA VI to implement a safe state.
    Is this possible? Thanks.

    Either scan mode or FPGA interface. You can't use both in one project.
    Suggestion
    Setup a safe mode project or double the target in one project.

  • Hi Friends... I'm trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message "The operation could not be completed because the item "bands" is in use. I'd like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Hi Friends...
    I’m trying to delete a back-up file on mu TC but I get the message “The operation could not be completed because the item “bands” is in use. I’d like to start the Back from scratch, could help me out with deleting the current file?

    Sorry, I am very confused. I asked the following question....
    Is this the only backup file on your Mac, or do you have other backup files and data on the Time Capsule disk?
    The answer that you gave was....
    This is the only one
    Now you are saying that....
    But I have lots of other files on Time Capsule! The back up file is only one of them.
    Can you clarify, please?

  • HT204053 I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?

    I have 2 Itunes accounts, one I don't use with money in the account, can I combine that money or account into the account I currently use?

    You can access, usually under the Apple (icon) menu in the main desktop
    window, note item with name "About this Mac" & click on that, to see more
    information about your computer, its OS X version, and other. The system
    version and build model are there. Do not post a serial number.
    If you are setting up Mail in a Mavericks OS X 10.9.x system, there often
    is access to information in the Help viewer from the main menu bar, or
    in an open mail application. If you have a Gmail or other account, that
    info is often on their home page where setup and help are located.
    The settings of each email account may vary according to their provider;
    so you would have to change your computer to accept them. An older
    link to a general look at that issue, change IMAP to POP, is covered here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16770816#16770816
    While that may not answer your question, you could use the info in
    your Mac OS X system Help viewer and use its search; or maybe
    a Spotlight search to see an answer online.
    You have to learn some basic things in order to actually use these...
    and it helps to expand that so you won't have to pay for tech service
    on things you can do yourself in a few minutes, beyond easy stuff.
    Of course, you're hearing this from a guy with no ISP email, ever.
    So mine are web-mail only; & I never save email to a computer.
    PS: If you have a new Mac with an AppleCare plan, you may be able
    contact Support for help. Ask someone (for 90 days, or up to 3 years
    if the Plan was extended) there at AppleCare, for their guidance.

    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I create a new calendar for the current year, using last years calendar's birthday's/photos and comments from the lower pages?

    Each year for the past 5 years I make a family calendar and send copies to all he family members around the globe.  I hate that I have to recreate all the birthdays and special occasions from scratch, and re-drag all the photos onto these dates, in the lower half of the page of each month on the new calendar.  How can I create a new calendar for the current year and port all of these photos/comments into the new calendar from last years calendar, to save having to redo all this work!!  I am not talking about the upper half page of the photos only...I am referring to the calendar page of each month.
    Thanks in advance.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open iWeb so you see your original site in the left hand pane. Use the File->New Site menu option to create a new site. Give it the name you want.
    Now select a page in your original site and type Command+D. That will duplicate the page. Drag the duplicate page down to the new site and rename it as needed. Do that for the other pages you need in the original site.

  • How do I set an Apex mulri-row reports form value for the specifc current row using Javascript?

    I have a multi-row region based on a table in which I have two particular columns of interest.  The first has an LOV defined for which I have set up a pick-list of codes associated with the item's status as "OK" or having some problem, for which there are a small number of set codes associated.  Most rows will be OK, but when there is a problem, the pick-list will be used.
    When that pick list has been used, there is an optional "comments" column that can be filled in.  I want my screen to dynamically enable/disable a pushbutton that links to the comment based on the code.  This being row-based, the push-button needs enabling or disabling by row, not as a whole "conditional column".  That bit is ok, I think, but I don't know and can't find the syntax for how within the javascript onchange function I set the current row value for a different column to the one that triggered it.
    My header function (that doesn't work) is going to be something like this (where the status column LOV having a value = 6 means "OK").  Note I'm using alert for a debug mechamism.  The $s line is my failed attempt to set he column value, here with a hard-coded string "Changed COMMENTS":
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function doActivateButton(object)
      if(parseInt(object.value)!='6')
        alert('It is not 6!');
        $s('#COMMENTS','Changed COMMENTS','Changed COMMENTS',TRUE);
      else
        alert('It is 6, you know!');
    </script>
    Ideally, I want any existing comments blanked if the user picks "OK" (6) as the new status, whereas for debug above I'm setting the hardcoded debug string.  You will probably also note I realise I haven't properly understood the purpose of the third parameter in the $s API.
    (This is a reports region, by the way.  A detail block, in forms-speak, with a header block above it.)
    Thanks for any assistance.

  • Is there a way to scan a device/network for the key that's in use? (even if a partial)

    We have a way of keeping our installs of acrobat to the same number of actual purchases made, but what we don't have is a good way of making sure that the actual key that was acquired with a PO was actually used on the associated device. Most of this comes from poor management of licenses and lazy technicians that used any key they could find to install the software. So, our reseller provides us a list of all keys that we've purchased as well as the number of volume licenses and such. I would like to know if there is a way I can scan the acrobat-installed devices and compare keys against the list of keys I have been provided. I have about ~100 devices with varying versions ranging from 6 to 11. I'm shooting for having a list of hostnames with their purchased license key and a faster way of creating this list than manually going to each machine.
    I want to do this so that I can more easily automate Hardware/OS migrations.  If the product is installed with the wrong key, I want to have it reinstalled on the new hardware/OS with the correct key.  And also just to have better bookkeeping.
    Or can I just keep using the volume key for a product version as long as I keep the install count at or under the purchased count?
    We use Symantec Management Platform 7.5 for tracking.

    Not directly that I am aware.  The product validation in SWTAG files are encoded.  Adobe should be able to decode them but that's still going to be a lot of manual work.

    Follow steps 1 and 2 of this tutorial and you will be able to get a jpg file for each of your book's pages inported into iPhoto: 06 - Creating an iDVD Slideshow From an iPhoto Book.  If you don't have the Automator workflow Save PDF to iPhoto (which should be in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder) you can download it from Toad's Cellar.

  • Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    Just installed a HP Color Laserjet CM2320nf MFP printer, at the same time I upgraded to Lion. It prints fine, but I cannot use the scan functions.  I downloaded the most recent driver! Any help would be appreciated.

    HP says that the drivers for your all in one print/scanner are downloadable from apple. For the scanner to use preview. image capture or the scan icon from the print driver queue.  I don't know how old your HP is, but I know that the newer Os from apple don't support a lot of older printers. You might be able find a third party driver that could work.
