An unexpected program opens when a button is pressed
Depending on the HP scanning software installed on the computer, an unexpected
program might open when a profile is selected and a button is pressed.
After each step, press a button to see if it is working correctly. If the problem persists,
proceed with the next step.
1. Verify that the expected program is installed on the computer by looking at the
Start menu.
If the program is not installed, then use the program CD to install the program.
2. If the problem persists, the buttons might be assigned outside of the HP scanning
software. Try the following procedure:
a. Open Control Panel, select Scanners and Cameras, and then select your
scanner model from the list.
b. Ensure that the Start this program option is selected and that the correct
application is selected in the drop-down list.
Wrong profile is used when a quick start button is pressed
Use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to check which HP Smart Document Scan Software
profiles are assigned to the quick start buttons. If necessary, reset the profile assigned
to the button.
