HP Officejet Pro 6830 scan head pops

[oldfr8]

When I orignally installed my HP 6830 all-in-one printer, all went well, for nearly a year.  Recently, I attempted to use the unit to scan and the scan head goes back and forth and pops in the process.  Of course an error message follows:  "Turn the printer off, then on again.  If the problem persist, the scanner has become damage and connot copy or scan."  The unit has been in the same place, not moved for over a year.  What gives?  Help please-
