Product: OfficeJet 4650

After initiating a scan job, the printer emits a loud grinding noise for several seconds before it starts scanning. After that it does begin scanning and does so successfully, but this grinding noise still worries me. It's been a while since I last scanned anything but I don't recall it ever doing that before.

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

I'd be happy to help.

 

Let's try to reset the Printer here:

 

Reset the product

  • With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
  • Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  • Wait at least 60 seconds.
  • Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
  • Reconnect the power cord to the printer.
  • Turn the printer on. HP recommends plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet.

Also, try connecting the Printer to a different wall outlet directly.

 

Try a firmware update: https://support.hp.com/us-en/document/ish_1776648-1643972-16

 

Let me know if this helps.
