Can't get my Sprocket to work...
Posted by LMR422 on
Hello. After some issues, we were able to get the app installed on my phone. The sprocket camera itself didn't seem to hold a charge. Eventually it did to the point that it ended up being fully charged. We sat down and tried printing a picture. Everything seemed good - the phone showed it was loading, yet the minute the prompt went to "printing" the sprocket shut itself off. We tried this a few times and the same thing happened each time. I guess I'm asking what could be the problem - there is some sort of disconnect between my phone and the sprocket. Any help you can send my way would be very appreciated.

Turn on the Sprocket and check battery status
The Sprocket might have turned off or the battery might need to be charged. Use the HP sprocket app to check the battery status, and then adjust the Auto Off setting.
Press and hold the Power button to turn on the Sprocket, and then open the HP sprocket app.
Tap the Menu icon , and then tap sprocket.
Tap Manage Printers, make sure your Sprocket is selected, and then tap Printer Settings.
Under the Status section, locate Battery.
If the battery charge is 25% or higher, continue with these steps.
If the battery charge is 24% or lower, charge the battery for 30 minutes, and then continue with these steps.
Tap Auto Off to change when the Sprocket turns off, if necessary.
If the issue persists, continue to the next step.
Reset your mobile device and Sprocket
Reset your mobile device and Sprocket to clear any errors states.
Turn off your mobile device, and then turn it back on.
Turn on the Sprocket.
Remove the Paper Cover, and then use a narrow object, such as a pen or paperclip, to press and hold the Reset button for 3 seconds until the Sprocket turns off.
NOTE:
The location of the Reset button varies by Sprocket model. Typically, the button is located underneath the Paper Cover, but can also be found on the outside next to the charging port.

Upgrade the Sprocket firmware
HP regularly releases firmware updates. Upgrading the Sprocket firmware might resolve the issue.
Make sure the Sprocket is on and your mobile device is connected to the Internet.
On your mobile device, open the HP sprocket app.

Look for a firmware upgrade.

If a firmware upgrade option does not display, the firmware is up-to-date.
Hope this helps!
