Thank you for posting on the HP Support Community.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

  • Are you getting any error messages or codes while scanning?
  • What's the application you are trying to scan from? 

While you respond to that, let's reset the printer to recover from printer errors or failures.

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the power source.
  • Wait 60 seconds.
  • Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and to the printer.
    NOTE: HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.
  • Turn on the printer to complete the reset.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
