Hi @AMAN309,

Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community! I came across your post and wanted to assist you. I understand you are having issues while scanning/copying from ADF on your HP LaserJet printer. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

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?

Let's start off by performing a Hard reset on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Remove USB cable, if present.

Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

If your printer connected wirelessly, make sure to temporary connect the device with USB and then follow the link to check for the latest firmware update if available for your printer, using this website.

For more assistance, please follow all the steps suggested in the support document for - HP LaserJet Pro CM1410, M1210, and M1530 Multifunction Printers Series - 'Document feeder mispick' M...

If the issue persists, I would suggest the next step would be to perform an advanced reset on the printer.

hi I tried factory reset . But no help .

Yes the Scanner bulb lights up.

Yes the scanner bar move when i open the lid & press the copy button.

The only problem is Document loaded is always on screen. The little arm attached gets attached as soon as i close the upper part or i scan or copy something from ADF.
