ADF Scan - blue lines

[SKeefer]

Scan in ADF jammed.  Once cleared, I now get a couple blue lines on the scan.  An ADF copy or a flat bed scan do not produce the same results.  I have cleaned the printer/glass, I have unplugged while on (for 15 min) I have tried to reset to factory defaults and nothing...same blue lines on the scan.

Hi @SKeefer,

Thank you for showing your interest in HP Support Forums. It is a great place to find the help you need, from other users, HP experts, and other support personnel. I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I see from the post that you are having issues with scanning from ADF on your HP OfficeJet 8600 printer. Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Does that Scanner bulb light up?

Does the scanner bar move when you open the lid & press the copy button?

Are you able to print without any issues?

Have you checked for any paper Jam or any obstructions inside the printer?

Is it a horizontal blue line or a vertical line.

In the meantime, let's try to follow these steps here:

If it happens to be a horizontal blue line, this could indicate an issue with the drivers or with the cartridge.

If it happens to be a vertical line, this could be a printer or the roller, scanner bed or the scanner bulb.

I have found a wonderful document which should help you resolve this issue. HP Printers - Fixing Scan Quality Issues
