The device has experienced an internal hardware error. Recommended Action

  1. Turn off the power by using the power switch, wait at least 30 seconds, and then turn on the power and wait for the device to initialize.
  2. If the error is still unresolved, contact Hewlett-Packard for technical support to troubleshoot the problem. Call HP for telephone support

Hp 2840

This printer has the rotating carousel assembly and therefore it is susceptible to becoming misaligned very easy and this could be the source of your scanner errors. More than likely of an inserting the wrong cartridge into the carousel...it can be fixed but judging by the age of this printer and the amount of labor to repair I would just junk this because of the time and labor involved ..plus there are definitely more productive and efficient models for a very low cost that will do you some justice.. that's just my opinion.

Scanner error 5 on HP Color Laserjet 2840

Scanner Error 52 is a hardware error. If turning the power off , waiting 30 seconds and turning it back on does not solve the issue the the scanner assembly might need to be replaced. Another thing to try is make sure the printer is plugged into the wall not into a surge protector. Aside from that you may need to have the scanner assembly replaced.
