Hi zt945754,
The error message "
scanner failure" occurs when the scanner bulb is not heating to the correct temperature or there is some problem with the scanner hardware. Please perform the following steps to resolve the problem.
1. Verify that the scanner bulb is lit. If the scanner bulb will not light up, the All-in-One must be serviced.
2. Unplug the power cord and then plug it in again. If the error comes back, remove the power cord from any power strip and plug it directly into a wall power outlet. The power strip may not be supplying enough power to the product.
3. Perform a partial reset
There are times when a partial reset may be required to restore the all-in-one to proper operation. A partial reset does the following:
--> Reset the user settings to the factory defaults.
--> Reset the language and country/region settings on some models.
NOTE: The HP Officejet 500 or 600 series must be connected to a computer running the all-in-one software to perform a partial reset. Do not perform this process if the unit cannot be connected to a computer.
Follow the steps below to perform a partial reset of the all-in-one:
1. Unplug the power cord from the all-in-one.
2. In the table
here, locate the button combination for your model.
NOTE: If your all-in-one model is not listed in the table, your model does not have a partial reset option.
3. Press and hold the button combination for your all-in-one.
4. While still holding the buttons down, plug the power cord back in. Release the buttons after the all-in-one starts up.
5. Try to make a copy and/or a scan.
If these steps cannot correct the problem, the All-in-One will needs to be serviced.
Hope it helps.
Thank you for using FixYa.
