Dear people, I am having an color issues when scanning documents with my HP ENVY 5020. The colors blue and pink don't show, but they turn white. What can I do? I've looked into settings but nothing fixes this problem.
Hope to hear from you,
with kind regards,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Does this happen while copying too?
Clean the scanner glass and underside of the scanner lid with a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.
-
Turn the printer off, then disconnect the power cord.
-
Lift the scanner lid.
-
Spray a soft, lint-free cloth with glass cleaner, then wipe the scanner glass, glass strip (if present), the white backing under the scanner lid, and the white strip under the lid (if present) until clean, dry, and streak-free.
CAUTION:
To protect the interior printer parts, do not spray the cleaner directly on the glass or on the underside of the lid.
