HP Laserject 1536dnf MFP Auto Feeder makes grinding sound

When I use the auto feeder on my HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP it makes a loud grinding or clicking sound. It does this when I am trying to feed paper through it for copying or for scanning. After the paper has been fed part way through the feeder it stops making the noise. The copy or scan does work. It doesn't seem to be causing a problem other than being very loud.

Hi @charlo8 ,
I see that you are experiencing loud noise when using the ADF. I would like to help you out.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector)
This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
I have provided a document for cleaning the ADF rollers and separator pad. Just to make sure the noise isn't coming from there.

Disregard the title.
You can flip up the one part on the ADF to check inside with a flashlight, to see if there is any obstructions or pieces of paper stuck inside. Flip it up where the yellow circle is marked on the picture.
Hope this helps.

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP document feeder does not work

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP document feeder does not work. I tried the suggested unplugged/plug and wait the required time but still no luck. Any suggestions? It does not even recognize that there is paper in the document feeder. Prior to this occuring, it used to say "document loaded"...now it says nothing. I do not even get an error message. It just does not work.

Hi @jdm328 ,
I see that you are having issues with the ADF not recognizing the paper loaded. I would like to help you out today.
It might be a hardware or paper sensor issue with the printer, not detecting the paper being loaded.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP document feeder stopped working

The document feeder stopped working. It clicks when trying to feed and comes up with the error Document Feeder Mispick, reload. I cleaned the feed rollers as per the HP video, no change. Is this something I can easily fix myself (I can open screws and lubricate parts if necessary)? Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi @Solray,
Welcome to the HP Forums!

HP ENVY 7640 MAKES GRINDING SOUND

My new Envy 7640 makes a grinding noise when scanning or shutting down. I discovered that the scanner makes the sound when it is traveling back and forth on the rail. It isn't loud just a little annoying. Is this normal? Just want to be sure.

Hey @tdizzy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're hearing a grinding noise coming from your HP ENVY 7640 e-All-in-One Printer when scanning or when the machine is shutting down. I would like to offer my assistance with this noise issue today.
The printer will make some mechanical noises as the scanner bar moves or as the machine shuts down.
Unfortunately, via the forums I am not able to actually 'hear' the noise to assess if it is normal behaviour or not. Of course any grinding or clicking noises tend not to be normal behaviour of a printer.
To best support this issue I would recommend contacting our Technical Support queue by phone.
HP Technical Support can be reached at: 800-474-6836.
If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.
HP Worldwide Contact
Once you have the phone support agent on the line, explain the issue and hold the phone up to the printer so the agent can actually hear the noises that are occuring.
I wish you luck going forward with this!

Hp LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy via auto feeder

The printer will print and scan, and copy from the glass just fine too. The problem is when you want to copy from the auto feeder. You put the paper in and press copy. It feeds it through but nothing prints out.

Hey Columbus_ISD,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums! I see when you attempt a copy from the ADF on your HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP the output is blank, you are able to print copy and scan from the glass with no problems.
I would like you to go ahead and complete the following steps listed below:
1. Make sure the LJ 1536dnf is plugged directly into a wall outlet, DO NOT use a power bar or surge protector: Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
2. Update the LJ's Firmware:
HP LaserJet Firmware Update Utility
Are you now able to make a successful copy from the ADF? If not, please check your inbox. I have sent you a Private message on the Forums, go to your Userpage to the right of your Username you will see it there.
I hope this helps,

I have a new m276nw printer that does not scan straight from flatbed or auto feed

HP Lawerjet Pro 200 Color MFP M276nw, When scanning from the auto feed or the flatbed, scans come out crooked

Hi,
How about printing? do the print outs come out fine?
open the ADF bed cover and check if the scanner assemble is aligned in line?
also try connecting it to a direct wall outlet.

Squeaking when my HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475 feeds from Tray 1

There is a low pitched squeaking when my HP LaserJet Pro 400 color MFP M475 feeds from Tray 1. We use this tray for printing individual envelopes. Is there a part that I should replace or clean? Trays 1 & 3 feed with no noise.

Noise issues are difficult to troubleshoot remotely and they could easily misguide even when we are close to the device.
Please do confirm if the noise is a grinding noise or squeky/humming noise.
As you have mentioned that it happens only while calibrating, hence I would suggest you to re-check & validate your toner cartridges. One of the toner cartrdige may be defective and causing this issue.
If not the toner cartridge then it would be one of the printer hardware component which is in question, hence an HP tech. might need to perform physical inspection of the device and the error condition.

HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP Installation Error

I have an HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP printer which will not install. I originally had Windows 7 OS and got the HP 1536dnf printer which installed fine. However, I started getting the upgrade to Windows 8.1 pop-ups, which I avoided specifically. However, I was typing on day when it poped-up to upgrade and didn't catch it in time and next thing I know we are upgrading to Windows 8.1 OS. What I didn't notice immediately after the upgrade was that my printer began to have trouble. So I uninstalled the printer and went to reinstall it from the disc and HP download, but it never re-installed. It always stopped at 99% and then gave a time error, something about to long to execute program timed out. I went to HP support via chat and wasn't able to get it resovled. However, I did somemore digging on the internt and found other people were having similar but different issue. Long story short, the Event viewer stated faulting application is PrintIsolationHost.exe and the faulting module name is hppdcompio.dll. What is this and is there anyway to get a newer version or replace the old dll with another one of the same vintage? I would like to get my printer fully installed so I can use all the functions again. I am currently using a default driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Cannot copy or scan from ADF (autofeeder) on LaserJet 1536dnf MFP

I've been a very pleased owner of a LaserJet 1536dnf MFP all-in-one printer, scanner, copier, fax. The device is running the latest firmware, it is connected via a hard-wired ethernet connection, and I use it mainly with my laptop which is connected to the same open network via wi-fi. The laptop is running Windows 7 32-bit with the latest drivers, utilities, and diagnostics tools installed.
The problem I started running into today is two-fold:
The copier no longer produces copies when feeding one or more pages into the ADF. In other words, the pages are pulled through and the display shows the status as "copying" but no copies are produced. Also, there are no errors indicated on the display.
The HP Scan utility no longer completes scans via the ADF for one or more pages. Pages are pulled through the ADF then the HP Scan utility presents a simple "An error occured while scanning" error message. I observed similar behavior when attempting to scan via the native windows applications (photo viewer, windows fax and scan, microsoft office document scanning, etc).
Regular flatbed copying and scanning still works without a hitch for 1 page at a time. I have been using both scenarios above for over a year without any issues. There have been no software installs/updates applied to my laptop in the time these issues surfaced. I have run the print, scan, and network diagnostics utilities from HP and they all show zero problems.
I have not been able to find any relevant info for either of the issues above via HP support or third-party forums. My hunch is that these are somehow related to a device firmware / hardware / configuration issue and am hoping to find some support via this forum. Appreciate your feedback in advance!
Best,
Igor

This is the side piece that was lifted. The feed tray was removed and I manually ran one page through with the copy button. Then put the feed tray back and affter that i was able to scan multiple pages with no problems.

'unable to send print data' on HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP

Hi there,
I'm running an iMac with OSX 10.6.8. Via an USB cable I have attached a HP Laserjet 1536dnf MFP to the iMac.
I also use this printer to print via wifi (i.e. through the iMac) with my MacBook Pro (with OSX 10.7.3).
Suddenly today the printer stopped working via my MacBook Pro. I get an error message: 'unable to send print data'.
I have checked my antivirus etc., but that does not appear to be the problem. I have also updated the firmware of the printer, without success.
Can somebody help me out? Is the OS difference the problem? But until today that hasn't been a problem.
Thank you very much! Regards, Luc.

Hi jemenake
I understand you lost connection with the network for the Laserjet 1536 through ethernet connection.
Disconnect the routers power cable, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect the power cable. Wait till it's ready. The router might not be finding the printer on the network.
If this doesn't resolve the issue continue to the next steps.
Print a configuration report from the LaserJet 1536dnf.
Press the Setup button, (the one with the wrench on it)
reports, press OK, Config Report, press OK.
Check to see if the ip address is valid.
If you have a valid ip address then delete and add the printer on the mac, the driver might have become corrupted.
Delete printer on mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences,then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),highlight your printer name and click the button on the bottom left corner of the screen.
Add printer on the mac.
Click on the Apple, click System & Preferences, and then click the Print & Scan icon (on some systems this may be displayed as Print & Fax),click add a printer, then select the printer from the list, make sure the printer listed beside use or print: shows proper printer name and not airprint, (airprint is a preinstalled apple driver with basic funtionality if on 10.8) add it in.
If the ip address is not valid please let me know.

Laser Jet 1536dnf MFP says memory low and will not print

Laser Jet 1536dnf MFP says memory low and will not print. Have tried hard disconnect and restart. Error persists.

Hey , Welcome to the HP Support Forum. I hope you enjoy your experience here. I see that you're encountering the memory is low error status on your LaserJet Pro 1536dnf MFP. I would like to help. For this particular error, I have found the NVRAM Initialization type of reset to be beneficial in restoring functionality. Note that completing this step will reset your printer's wireless configuration, ePrint address, and other customized printer settings. If you have created a custom @hpeprint.com address it will be permanently erased. For more information on custom ePrint addresses, click here. As HP does not typically make the steps for this type of reset available publicly, I will private message you the instructions you need. Please let me know the result of your troubleshooting by responding to this post. If I have helped you resolve the issue, feel free to give me a virtual high-five by clicking the 'Thumbs Up' icon below and clicking to accept this solution. Thank you for posting in the HP Support Forum. Have a great day!

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print

My HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP will not copy or scan but does print. It does not matter if I use the ADF or the glass. When copying or scanning I get a completey black page. The light bar does move from one end of the printer glass to the other. There are no connectivity issues as the printing function and the e-print function work fine.
Thank you for your help

Hi @akb3,
I understand that when you try to scan or copy, you are getting a black page. I can help you with this.
Please keep the scanner lid open and then press the copy button.
Check if the scanner bulb glows.
Check if the scanner moves freely across the glass.
If it does not try connecting the printer directly to the wall jack and try again.
Update the printer's firmware if the bulb glows and scanner moves freely. HP LaserJet Pro M1536dnf Multifunction Printer Drivers.

HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps Printing

Hi Admin,
I currently work as an IT Entry Level Support, and I have a problem with HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP that I cannot give time to figure out why.
Here's what I have:
System: WXP Pro v2002 SP2
Hardware: HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP
Device Manager Driver: HP LJ M1530 Series Scan ; Driver Date: Nov 16, 2009
HP laserjet 1536dnf MFP keeps printing JZJZL() and different Random Garbled characters, I can only print properly if I switch it on and Turn it on again.
One more question: Is there a way to stop whatever is printing from the HP Toolbox.
Thank you..
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi @Claude-Antoine,
I understand that the printer is printing garbled print and something keeps printing off from the Toolbox. I can help you with this.
Most likely the driver is corrupted and you will have to uninstall and reinstall the printer software.
If you can print the hardware self test page properly, then it would be a software issue.
Printing a Configuration Report.
I have provided a document with some steps to try to see if that will resolve the issue.

How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet)
If your networked, do you have a Static IP setup and what kind of router are you using?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.

[Solved] Hp Laserjet 1536dnf MFP only software

[EDIT] The issue is solved. My uncle called someone to fix the issue. He deleted one more printer related additional file. Unfortunately I do not have the name. After that he downloaded all-in-one file and succesfully installed printer. Sorry for the trouble.
Hello,
My uncle has Win 7, Ultimate, 64 bit (updated to latest windows updates)
installed via bootcamp on iMac
Have HP 1536dnf MFP printer installed via USB. No other HP product is installed.
I had issues which I managed to solve.
Problems:
Earlier the 'properties' window flashed and closed immediately. I could not solve the problem even after trying solutions offered in earlier posts. After few install, my installer would fail as it stalled at 99 %. Even if I killed installer via task manager, still I could not find any solution. HP toolbox FX could not be installed.
As usual, I removed all HP driver enteries from
services tab,
device manager and
somewhere in 'printers and devices' (afte rclicking / selecting any printer, on top bar, ther is an option to select driver).
I also removed HP folder form 'Programs x86' (my system is 64 bit). In programs folder, I found nothing.
I also checked for universal printer is uninstalled and
print sprooler is working and is set on automatic.
I had also upgraded firmware to latest 2014 version.
Windows update of 1536dnf always failed.
I run latest al-in-one installer from HP (210 mb)
All-in-one installer ...
With installer windows installer also installs software. I clicked on taskbar icon to see details. It searches for latest drivers of scan, print, etc on net and then installs it.
After 26-29 % HP installer, searches for 1536 printer driver (it can be seen on windows installer screen). When the installer reaches 29 %, it says
Installation failed. Messege is something like
Installation of HP Laserjet 1536dnf failed.
I kept the installer running. After it reaches 99 %, it hangs. After few minutes, it shows fatal error. I ended installer via talk manager, still software is not installer.
HP diagnostic tool identifies printer, but says, software is not installed and points downloads page, which is not of HP 1536dnf MFP.
There is one solution, which I have not tried. One post said to create a new user.
Half Solution:
Then I tried basic setup of print and scan driver PCL 6 without first installing software (which is latest available on HP website 2011 version) and ... it worked. Now I can print and he properties tab would open.
Also note that this is a 'universal Printer driver'--> all were suggesting that universal printer and print spooler causes problems
Still it's working fine, but without the software I cannot scan. I do not use photoshop.
Question:
My question is
The 210 mb installer will again install drivers. What will happen as in this case, I have already installed drivers and are working fine, but as mentioned, I cannot scan. HP scanning software gives good options.
Is there version available where only software is installed and no driver is installed.
Since 210 mb all-in-one installer always hangs at 99 % (downloaded 2 times and installed 7-8 times), should I try basic installer.
What will happen to preinstalled drivers?
The problem is that installed driver is a universal printer PCL 6
I will again visit my uncle on saturday.
Please help me. Thanks.
Kind Regards
