Product: Officejet Pro 8610
Operating System: Windows 7

When I try to use the scanner I get a meassage that says "Sanner Failure: Unable to scan, copy or send a fax". The unit is connected to a wifi network and I can print fine from my computer or smart phone, but no ability to scan, it previously worked without issue.

 

Thanks.

Hello,

It seems to be an issue with the scan carriage which is not getting caliberated.

 

Please try connecting the printer to a different Wall outlet ( for testing purpose only ). Also see to it that the printer should not be connected through  Extension cord / Surge protector. 

 

If issue still exists, the printer need to be SERVICED.

 

Please call HP Tech Support for further assistance.

If you are in US , the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836 .

If you are not in US , then log on to www.hp.com , at bottom-left corner there is a world map icon, click on it and then select the region you belong to, which would then provide support options for you for that region.

Hello,

 

Please try below mentioned steps..

 

- Power off the router.

- While the printer is ON, unplug the power cord from back of the printer.

- wait for 60 seconds.

- plug in the power cord directly to wall outlet and then to the printer.

- When the printer is ready try making a COPY.

- And only then power ON the wireless router.

Great tip, I moved it to a new outlet and tried it and everything worked. Moved it back to the original outlet and it's still working.

Thanks for the help and the quick response time.
