Turn on our HP 170 modelcolor copier. It says hit power button-- scanner failier. power button reset does not help. Printer will produce test page for cartridge alignment. What next?

Hi,

This usually happens if the printer is not aligned properly. When you replace the cartridges, it prints a colorful sheet of paper. You need to place the paper face down on scanner glass and press OK button.

This completes alignment and the printer wont print test page again.

Check your margins that's seems to be a big one for me when you go to hit print click on propertys then check if all margins are set to your paper typ after that make sure there is no dust at all where the inkjet flows acros the paper. Then reset by turning off and back on and printing a test page..

Do not hit the SCAN button. Instead, use the HP software, and click the "Align" button.
Follow the on-screen instructions (print the page, put the page into the scanner) very carefully.

HI
As soon as the printer prints the test page or alignment page place it on the scanner glass (Place the printed side down) before that Examine the scanner glass and white scan backing. Clean the scanner glass and scan backing if they are not clean. To clean the scanner glass and scan backing, use a soft cloth towel slightly dampened with clean water.
After That press scan on the printer button panel it will resolve your issue.
Try to double check it by turning it off and turning the printer back on after 2 minute's. If still the problem exists call HP Total Care 800 - 474 - 6836 if you are from US/Canada.
) Lift the lid of the product.
2) Place the top of alignment page face down in the right front corner of the glass.
3) Place the alignment page face down
4) Close the lid.
5) Press the Start Scan button.
6) The Power button light will blink during the alignment process.
7) After the Power button light stops blinking, alignment is complete.

Usually, you need to print a test page: go to start, settings, find printers and faxes and open it. You will see your printer. Right click on the printer and you will see a menu. Open Properties. Find General- there is a "print test page" button. Click on it. When the test page is printed, you will see some pictures: those are the steps you need to take to make your scanner/copier work. Basically, all you need to do is put the test page in your scanner (as indicated) and press scan. The scanner/copier will then do an alignment and you will be able to copy manually.

Hi everyone

After replacing the print cartridges 2 steps need to be done:

1. Wait for the test page to be printed out and

2. Put a page over the scanner glass and press scan button on your

printer.

Turn off the printer and turn it on again to see if the problem was

solved.

4.The power light will start blinking, wait until the power lights turns solid.
5.Now Alignment process is over.Discard the paper from scanner.
6.Turn the printer OFF and then ON, it will not print that page again.

hi, frined,

which u on printer u get test print , that page u put on scanner and press sceen button on top of printer , after scan page printer understand cartridge if work perfect

when turning ON your printer and you hear that is going to print HIT the cancel button right away and then go to the menu see if you see a setting named DEFAULT hit that , turn off printer ,wait a couple of seconds a turn on again , it should stop printing automatically, hope it helps

I don't know this personally, but you should be able to hit the power button and turn it off right after you load the cartridges. then power back on. That might do the trick.
