Error message code 2,140,0

After correctly connecting, installing and registering the driver disk, I went to use my scanner to scan a picture into A My Document folder (which was empty).
The machine seemed to be scanning the photo, but then stopped and I received the above error message.
Anyone know the solution to this problem?

I had a similar problem (error Code:2,140,2) in Canon PIXMA MP250 all-in-one, and it was solved when I replaced both ink cartridges which were in low ink (almost without ink). I know an scanner problem is not supposed to be in relation with ink or printer problems, but that's the way I've fixed it. Good luck!

HP scanner is missing. Unable to scan slide.

The ArcSoft PhotoImaging suite is just to process and scan images, but the printer hardware itself needs hardware drivers, which contain coded instructions to communicate with your CPU.
This is the HP scanning software.
Printer/Scanner hardware should have a driver setup disk that came with it.
If you have this disk:
shut down PC
unplug printer
boot PC
uninstall the current version, if in start>control panel>programs
restart PC
install driver from disk or downloaded driver file for your model.

The scanner is not available while in use by another application or user i get this darn error. I use this scan multiple times a day and all of a sudden i see this.... why?

Hi,

The error message could be Twain Driver error or ScandAll pro Application error. Please go through the followings:

SCANDALL-PRO APPLICATION ERROR:

Error Code: [SA01020E] No scanner is found.
There is a possibility that no scanner is connected, the connected scanner is not turned on, or the scanner is currently used by some other application.

Status: [Scan] or [Select Scanner] is specified, but no connected scanner is found. Or, the scanner is currently used by some other application.

Action: Make sure that the scanner is connected and is turned on. If the scanner is currently used by some other application, use the scanner after the application ends. Make sure that the driver selected on the [Scan] tab of [Preferences] in the [Tool] menu is installed correctly.

TWAIN DRIVER ERROR:

-The scanner may be OFF or not connected. Check the power supply of the scanner or connection with PC.
-The scanner may be already in use by other application or the "Scanner and Camera" in [Control Panel].Close other application or "Scanner and Camera" in [Control Panel]

-The connected image scanner is not a model supported by this driver. No image scanner is connected. The cable is disconnected.Check whether the image scanner is connected.

-Another application may already be using the image scanner. Alternatively, the TWAIN driver may have been activated twice.Terminate all applications, and start scanning again.

For more information, please refer to the help contents of Scanner utility/Twain driver and scanning application installed on your PC.Hope the above information is helpful.

Thanks,
ScanCare

Suddenly stopped scanning and gave error message that scanner not connected. This is not true. Went on HP website. Useless. Says there is no scanner attached to computer. Yes there is. I have used it for...

The scanner has a separate driver as does the printer portion. They are installed separately. Download the scanner driver or re-install the disc that came with your printer.

Printer is in use or an error has occurred. Check status. Scanner driver will be closed. Code: 2,140, 0.

I had the same problem and fixed it by unplugging the cable that connects the power to the printer while it was running. I then plugged the cable to the printer in and it worked. I previously reinstalled the driver, but it didn't fixed the problem.

How to clear error code 0000003d

Is it a USB scanner? Look in System information\device manager to see if your scanner is at all recognized by the computer. If not, install the drivers that came with the scanner. If the drivers are already installed, use it with another USB cable to see if your own is the culprit. If the problem persists, replace the USB card.
