Hi  @Betty1234567890 

 

It's a scanner defect then.  Hardware needs to be serviced.

 

Contact HP for support if the printer is still under warranty:

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

 

From the picture, it's likely that the scanner is defective.

 

Is it seen on both scan and copy?

 

Thanks.
