Ran the HP-1 update last evening... still reads 9/14/2014.

Suggestions?

Where are you seeing that date, in Sentinel, or in the scanner?

My HP1 database is 11/09/2014.

We pull the entire database starting late Sunday evening and finishing early Monday morning. That database is formatted for the HP, then published around 9 AM Monday morning and includes all updates through some time Sunday evening.

From page 17 in the owner's manual:

UPDATING THE DATABASE


1. To update the scanner’s database, connect it to your PC using the supplied USB cable. Select Mass Storage.

2. Next, in Sentinel, select UPDATE/Update Master HPDB.

3. Write the new database to your scanner by selecting Scanner/Write to Scanner.

4. Unplug the USB cable and the scanner will reboot.

Sometimes you do the right thing and it does not update.
Click the cogwheel in sentinel and tick the box that says Force write full database .
My friend had this issue and he often still does and thisi is how we fix it.
