HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281fdw
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP Color LaserJet MFP M281fdw recently started showing multiple vertical black lines whenever I scan a document (see below). The lines are there whether I use the ADF or the flatbed. The lines are always in the same place. I followed HP glass cleaning instructions, however the lines are still there. The lines DO NOT appear when I print a page from the printer.Scan_06-13-2020_092600.jpg

Hello @IL57 ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

You must clean these two glass surfaces. See here, then "Step 2: Clean the scanner" > Printers with a flatbed scanner glass and lid.

Then have a look at the picture 1: Clean the scanner glass and under the lid, and any glass or white strips (if present)

  • 3- Glass ADF scanner strip and
  • 4- Main scanner glass

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
