Hello, thank you for the respone !

 

i've seen this page already before i wrote here the problem  and already cleaned the glass but it doesnt seem to make any difference after cleaning it, and yes, this is also happens with the copy option, both black and color copy.

  1. Reset the printer to clear certain error states, and then check the power source to make sure the printer is getting enough power to operate the copier.

  2. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the printer, disconnect the power cord from the power source, and then wait 30 seconds.

  3. If you are using a power strip or multi-plug adapter, connect the cord directly to a wall outlet to make sure the printer is getting enough power.

  4. Reconnect the power cord to the printer, and then try making a copy.

    • If the issue persists, connect the printer to a different wall outlet to determine if the original outlet is causing the issue.

Let me know if this helps.

Hello again, unfortiantly none of it  made any chanage, i even tried to replace the cable with no result. 

HP Recommended

If you've spare cartridges, do try those and see if it happens with those.

 

You may try a firmware update too: https://support.hp.com/in-en/document/c02919168

Hello again, changing the cartidges didnt make any change

HP Recommended

Hi Uriel,

A such likely occurs due to a broken scanner hardware or maybe due to any power issue. please unplug the power cable from both ends, plug it back to the printer and directly to a wall socket in the other end, to deny any possible power cause.

 

Try making a copy and check if you may see any difference.

 

If the same persists it will likely require servicing or replacing the printer.
