Scanner error 17

[appvf]

I have the message 'scanner error 17' on the screen of my printer. 

I have followed instructions to turn the printer off and on again, I have unplugged from exstention cord and plugged into the wall socket  but still not change.

Does anyone have the answer please??

A warm welcome to HP Forums! This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips to your technical queries.

As per this document, Scanner Error 17 indicates that the scanner motor is in the incorrect position. Since a power reset didn't clear the error, its possible that the internal scan assembly or the formatter is faulty. Please call HP Support to obtain all available repair/replacement options. I've send you a private message with instructions on how to contact your regional HP Support. Could you please check your inbox on the forums page for the private message.
Have a great day!
