HP Officejet Pro 8600: Printing vertical lines when you use doc auto power

I cleaned the optical window such as suggested in other posts. However, this has not fixed the problem for me.

The vertical line is the center of the page, from top to bottom.

Hello @KR76,

I'd be happy to help you with your problem of copy on your OfficeJet Pro line 8600.

Basically, the line is created if any part of the scanner glass and the scanner cover fingerprints fingerprints, stains, lint, dust, or other debris or scratches. To resolve this problem, clean the ADF scanner glass Strip, the ADF white plastic band on the underside of the scanner cover, the underside of the scanner cover and the scanner glass. You need to repeat the cleaning several times to fix this.

The document that will guide you through the inspection and cleaning of these independent pieces would be; Vertical stripes, lines or streaks in the Copies, faxes, or scans.

Take note of the following in the document;

Warning: Only use a glass cleaner to clean the scanner glass. Don't use of cleaners containing abrasives, acetone, benzene, or carbon tetrachloride. These substances can damage the printer. Avoid alcohol isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) because it can leave scratches on the glass.

Warning: To protect the scanner are not spray the glass product directly on the glass.

Please let me know if any of these steps has resolved your problem, or if there is anything else I can do to help.

I look forward to hear from you!

Thank you

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: vertical line when scanning

    I get a vertical line when I scan using the document feeder.  I do not understand when scanning the glass plate. I need assistance to access the mirror slider.  I raised the lid for the loading of documents, but I couldn't find out how to get under the rollers to clean the mirror. Thank you

    The document here can help solve the black lines to scan using the ADF on your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus.  From my experience this is almost always caused by a specification on the thin glass on the side left which is used for scanning using the ADF.  Cleaning of this area as described in the above document should solve the problem.  If the initial cleanup does not resolve the problem, it can help to shine a bright flashlight almost parallel to the glass.  For a line on the left side of the printed page, the place will be toward the front of the printer, if the line is on the right side of the document, it must correspond to a specification to the rear of the printer.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Thin vertical lines when printing photos

    The printer referenced did a fabulous job to print photographs.  In this case, the printer is fairly recent and has recently recently consumed the original cartridges when it was decided to try to use it for photo printing.  Therefore, the fabulous results were extracted relatively new cartridges and consisted of at least a dozen photo printing in various sizes.  Then all of a sudden these thin vertical straight lines began to appear in print.  They are equidistant on the full image.  That they appear in the printed image.  When using paper letter (8.5 x 11) to print an image cropped at 8 x 10 with landscape orientation spacing is about 1 1/8 (one and one-eighth) inches or 8 evenly spaced vertical lines.  Somewhat like the photo was divided into 8 columns.

    According to the printer built in ink gauge, that the cartridges are now just a little more than half full.

    These lines are narrow enough so that they are not very visible when printing on normal paper (copy).  They would probably be imperceptible on many kinds of printed documents.  However, they become quite noticeable and reprehensible when using good quality (in this case HP) photo paper to print photos.

    Absence of a printer resolution is not good for photo printing.

    In addition to the troubleshooting suggests that the problem is not due to the printer, but rather to the software used to perform the printing. It was not immediately obvious that I printed only photos using Picasa and it worked fine and then all of a sudden the problem developed. However, I have now tried to print the same photos with other software and there is no problem for the steps.

    The Picasa forum also has many messages wanting to be the same or a similar problem to what I have experienced. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be an explanation for a repeatable cause, nor a specific solution. Some hacking autour with the settings and options seems to be in order. If it does not then print with other software may be necessary.

  • OfficeJet pro 8600 black vertical lines of print when copying

    I got a new of OfficeJet Pro 8600 a couple of weeks, and it worked fine until today, when I tried to copy something. I can always print from my pc and scan without problem, but when I try to copy a document (if I load it into the tray or put it on the scanner) the page comes out covered with black vertical lines of different sizes. It seems that this isn't the ink or the scanner since I can print from my pc and analysis very well.

    Help, please!

    This unit is plugged into a wall outlet directly? If this isn't the case, then try to connect the unit to a wall outlet directly.

    The 8600 Officejet Pro has built in the surge protector and double this feature may cause some problems.

    Also, try to reset the printer hard:
    * Unplug the unit while the printer is on
    Disconnect the other end of the power cable from the wall socket direct
    * Wait 30 seconds
    * Plug the unit to the top

    Let me know if it helps.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 N911a - vertical line using ADF

    I have a problem with a black vertical line on the right side of scans/copies when I use the ADF. There is no problem if I use the Board.

    There are a number of similar messages here and I tried all the solutions I could find including:

    Cleaining each wheel and sproket I can find (several times)

    Clean the glass (several times)

    Unplug the printer on, several minutes of waiting and reconnection (several times)

    Unplug the unit as described above and by using a different wall outlet with any other equipment on the line

    The pilot of uninstalling and reinstalling

    Update the firmware to the lates version (March 21, 2013)

    None of this works and I get the result below.  The one you have any other ideas?

    .

    When you clean the glass, you did clean the small strip of glass on the left and the thin white on the top lid?  These are the sections of the scanner glass used by the ADF.

    If so, then I have some information for a factory reset in the Officejet Pro 8600.  I will send this information to you in a private message.  Please read Bob_Headrick wire on the printer reset, found here, before you perform these steps.

  • Photo printing, vertical lines when you print multiple images on a page

    I went from iPhoto to Photos. Now I'm having a problem printing (HP Photosmart Premium 309 c) pages with many photos for my annual calendar. Often the picture on the right will have vertical lines. I use PS 14 items.  I did this for years and I am sure that the problem is related to Photos and the fact that my photos are now in the cloud and not on my Mac.

    I recently removed my hard drive iPhoto library - because I don't have enough space on my Air.

    Hello

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that whenever you print photos of the Photos on your Mac app, the lines appear in the printed image resulting.  The following steps will help isolate the matter with Photos or the printer itself.  To start, please print one of the photographs from the Photos app to confirm a specific photo translates into lines on the printed copy.  After seeing the photo, please export the original photo of the Photos app on your desktop, open the photo in the preview and then print this photo.

    Export pictures in their original format

    1. Select the photos you want to export.

    2. Choose file > export > export Original unmodified.

    3. Click Export.

    4. Choose where to save the exported photo files and then click Export the originals.

    Please report back with the results of these steps so that we can help you.

    Take care.

    I didn't turn Windows 10 for much question of withour months, now today go... tried everything!

    Hello

    Thanks for the comments.

    You can try the following:

    Creating a TCP IP port

    1. print a Configuration Page to get the printer IPv4 address (you can also tap on the icon wireless on the front panel of your printer to obtain the IP address)
    2. on your PC, go to the Panel control, devices and printers, right-click the printer and on the left, click printer properties, select the Ports tab.
    3. click Add Port, select the Port TCP/IP Standard, then New Port and follow the instructions in the wizard.
    4. Enter the IP address of the printer.

    Note that you can ALWAYS go back to the original port the HP software installed by selecting the HP port on the Ports tab (in the properties of the printer)

    Hope that helps!

    OfficeJet pro 8600 print a single vertical black line when using the charger

    Hi @realestatejeann,

    I see that you have found one black vertical line when using the ADF. With a few steps, we should be able to solve this problem.

    Make sure that the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (do not use a hub or a surge protector) This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

    Here is a document for the cleaning of the glass Strip and the underside of the scanner cover.

    Vertical stripes, lines or streaks on Copies, faxes or scans.

    If you need help, let me know.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600: Printer does not print in color

    I just got the color cartridges refilled at Costco. Now, my printer does not print in color.  I printed out a diagnosis and cartridges are showing that they are full.  The actual color of magenta is a deep rose, so I know that some of the magenta is crossing. Cyan (blue) and yellow printed black on diagnostic tests.  I know that Costco filled cartridges with the appropriate color because I can see the color on/in the cartridge.  Suggestions on what to try? I bought the printer on January 27, 2013.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: Officejet Pro 8600 leaves black lines on docs scanned when using the document feeder

    This is the second HP Officejet Pro 8600 I had - one was replaced by HP, after that the same issue arose.  I tried to clean the entire unit, but we still get a thin black line running vertically down the page.  This line is divided into sections of 1 "and 2.5" in length.  Sometimes I get the fine line and then almost a shadow line that is parallel.

    Any suggestions would be very appreciated I have scan documents to PDF format and it's hassle to put everyone on the flat for scanning.  I use the charger of the doc on a daily basis and wonder if this could have something to do with the lines.

    Thanks for any help.

    The question is a spec on thin (~ 1 "wide) glass to the left of the main bed scanner.  Clean this area as described in this document.  It can be difficult to see the affected area, a bright flashlight which is held at an angle to the glass can help find the place.  Even a very small spec on the glass can cause a black line when using the ADF.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 missing some bullets when printing

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 for young or skips lines especially bullets when printing.  This isn't a problem of ink.

    The documents that are printed look fine except some lines especially bullets Miss.  Always the same lines/bullets Miss.

    I tried printing from Win XP, 7 and 8 - all have the same problem and the same senses are missing.  The print view looks very good.

    This happens when you print items from the internet.  I use Chrome on all computers.

    I have the latest software, drivers and firmware.

    Copy the information in Word 2007 prints without problem I printed documents pasted unchanged IE. no change, the format or the police.

    Print a PDF file has no problem.

    I've had the printer for 5 months.  The computers are the same during this period.

    I only noticed this problem in the last few weeks - after print a recipe and trying to follow, I noticed lack of bullets a receipt detailed ingredients.

    I have unplugged the printer and plugged back in - the problem persists.

    Please help with this frustrating problem.

    OK fine and yes I think it's a matter of Google Chrome as well. Let me know your results when you get a chance.
