HP-2: Update HP II

[MississippiPI]

I was trying to update my HP II, it said my USB isn't recognized, it worked last month now it doesn't. Any ideas?


Thanks you all

Plug your HP2 into a USB port, then go into Windows Device Manager to confirm that a USB port has been assigned to your scanner. If not, your cable could be defective.

I need to reboot my computer sometimes to read the USB.

All USB ports have their own individual driver, try another port.

Make sure you select the correct COM port in your software (Sentinel) as well.

Sentinel has no settings for COM ports. When Sentinel is communicating with the scanner, the scanner should be in "Mass Storage" mode... which treats the scanner as a mass storage device connected by USB, just like an external drive. No serial COM ports are involved.

When connected in mass storage mode, the scanner's SD card will be listed under "Disk Drives" in the Windows Device Manager along with the other drives in the computer.

If a COM port is showing for the scanner in Windows Device Manager, the scanner has been put in "Serial Mode", and won't be able to communicate with Sentinel.
