HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn - ADF misfeed error while scanning through network

[Prashantae]

Hello,

Our HP LaserJet Pro MFP M225dn printer is giving error "A scanner Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) misfeed occurred. Reload the pages to scan into the ADF and Try again" on the client scanning software side & "Load DOcument Feeder" after passing the documents from the ADF. 

Surprising it work if a scan through USB cable directly connected to my laptop. Have tried 3-4 PC's, Laptops from the network, uninstalled-installed the HP Drivers/Software etc. but still no success.

Kindly assist.

Regards,

Prashant

The only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link.
