Welcome to the HP Forums,
We'll be with you until it's all sorted.
Have you used the HP Print and scan doctor to run a test on your printer?
Did you check if the copier is working as a stand-alone device?
While you respond to that, here's what I recommend you do:
Step 1: Reset the printer and check the power source
Reset the printer to clear certain error states by calibrating the scanner mechanism, and then check the power source to confirm the printer is getting enough power to operate the scanner.
-
Press the Power button to turn on the printer, if it is not already on.
-
With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
-
Disconnect the power cord from the power source, and then wait 30 seconds.
-
If you previously connected the power cord to a power strip or multi-plug outlet adapter, reconnect the cord directly to a wall outlet to ensure the printer is getting enough power.
-
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer, and then turn on the printer.
-
If the error no longer displays, make a test copy to confirm the issue is resolved.
-
If the error still displays, connect the printer power cord to a different wall outlet to determine if the original outlet is causing the issue.
-
If the error still displays a different wall outlet, continue to the next step.
-
Step 2: Run the Print and Scan Doctor (Windows only)
Some scan error states might be resolved by running this automated troubleshooting tool for Windows computers.
-
Go to HP Print and Scan Doctor to download and install the tool.
-
Click Start on the Welcome screen, click your printer name, and then click Next to continue to the Finding and Fixing Problems screen.
-
Click Fix Scanning, and then follow any on-screen instructions to resolve the issue.
-
If the error no longer displays, make a test copy to confirm the issue is resolved.
-
If the error still displays, continue to the next step
