@Haosi, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Try making a standalone copy and check if that works. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.

Check the scanner bar functionality

Perform a visual test of the scanner mechanism to see if it is jammed.

1. Remove any original documents or photos from the scanner glass.
2. Lift the scanner lid slightly, and then press the Copy button or icon.

If the scanner light does not move or moves halfway or is not lit, the scanner mechanism is likely jammed/broken.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi Kumar,

Thank you for answering my question. However, I tried print a standalone copy and it wasn`t straight. The word going down from left to the right. (attached scan page).

My printer is up to date for the firmware and I tried reset it couple times still does the same thing. 

When I open the lid to make a scan or copy, the scan light bar goes fine and not jammed.

What else can I try?
