Sorry the flashing on off switch is flashing to let me know that there is a scanner failure unable to scan or copy. Flashing stops when I press ok. The problem is that I can`t scan. I`ve tried scan doctor. Printer works fine.

Hi, 

Turn off the printer . 

Disconnected power cord from printer

Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds while power cord is disconnected . 

Release the power button . 

Connect the power cord directly to a wallout let. 

Turn on the Printer 

Now try to make a copy 

Let me know what happens.
