HP8600 printer with black streaks... HUGE kudos to the solution... worked perfectly. Thanks !!!!

Thanks turning off the hp 8600 office pro worked great for getting rid of the streaks, we had a couple of power outs earlier in the day and wondering if that's what caused the streaks in the first place.

Again thanks for the suggestion, and solution

Hi

Should you come across black streaks during ADF copy, there could be 2 scenarios.

1) Thin vertical lines (that resembles a line being drawn by a pencil) - clean the scanner glass (smaller piece of glass at the left hand side after lifting the ADF)

2) Thick vertical lines (approximately 1.5cm/something more than that) - power down your unit and unplug all power cables. Leave unit for 30mins - 1hr.

For scenario 2, should the issue persists, kindly proceed to contact the HP Customer Support.

Hope this helps 🙂

I work for HP.

@I also have the same problem happening with my HP Office Jet Pro 8600 plus. Everytime I scan I get several streaks going across the page and am unable to clear it. I have tried turning it on and off, cleaning it with windex and nothing. Please help. you can reach me at magyibarra @ yahoo.com

Thanks, the reset worked for me to, the lines down the page when copying have been driving me crazy !!!

although when i copy or scan some of the text is much lighter in colour in one line down the page. its ok when printing !!

I turned off the printer then back on and it fixed the problem. I should have known to do that. That technique fixes about 90% of any problem with any computer or printer..hey, I just had to fix my new gas heater today. It's really a computer, so I turned it off, then on, and it worked. Who needs a Double E degree when this is all you really need to know.:smileyhappy:
