Product: Laserjet Pro MFP M26nw
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Scanner will not work at all; either by control panel or via scan doctor.  When I press the scan button on the control panel, the scanner led strip lights up, moves about 1/2 inch, flashes 8 times and returns to the home position.  It appears to be a hardware error but I have no idea what error the flashes refer to.  Any help would be appreciated.

@HDPIRTLE, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

If the scanner light does not illuminate or move across the glass, but just blinks, it could be a hardware failure.

 

Refer to the document HP Printers - Resolving Copy Problems for additional info.

 

Please reach out to the HP Support in your region regarding the service options for your printer.

 

Keep me posted.
