Scanner and copy colored lines

i have the officejet 4500 all in one printer, it worked great for the longest time and now when i try to copy something it prints a page of colored lines, the same when i scan its just a pageof colored lines, has anyone had this issue? the printer still prints no problem its just the scan and copy function

Hey @jess1860,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you're having an issue with your copier/scanner on your HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer. I would like to work with you today at resolving the coloured vertical lines that you're experiencing on your copies.
Does the vertical colour lines issue happen from both the flatbed glass and the automatic document feeder on the top of the printer?
If the issue is only affecting the flatbed or the automatic document feeder and not both than it is usually an issue with dirt on the scanning assembly that can be easily cleaned.
However, if the vertical lines are affecting copies from the flatbed and the automatic document feeder than it is either a power issue or a programming failure on your product.
Please follow the steps below to resolve your copy quality issue:
First, make sure your printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet for power.
Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans
Please let me know if these steps resolve your issue. Good luck!

  • X300 partial screen flicker and solid colored lines

    Hello all.  Just opened my X300 tonight to find the lower-left quadrant of the screen flickering and some colored lines in the upper left-quadrant.  The right half of the screen is viewable but pixelated.  Anyone know if this is fixable?  Loose cables, inverter? 
    thanks.

  • How to draw and copy a line?

    Sorry for the simplistic question - but where are the photos you are intending to add going to be coming from?
    If it is the pictures you take - then it almost seems like you need to first upload them to a cloud service like OneDrive or iCloud and then provide the URL to Google Maps

  • "Custom" grouping and / or colored lines in ALV

    Hi!
    Two questions:
    1. Is it possible to use colors in the ALV for a given set of rows? I'd like to mark rows with a color, which are logically belongs together.
    2. Other approach would be to sort the ALV and via that the "similar" rows (i.e. some column values in the rows have the same value ) would be grouped.
    The normal ALV grouping feature is too general. E.g if the ALV contains a lot of empty cells, then those cells will be grouped as well, nevertheless they are logically don't belong together -> looks quite weird.
    If the custom grouping cannot be realized, then my approach would be the following:
    1. Sorting the table. -> rows where the content partially equal are in succession.
    2. Manually clear the cells in the second (in my business case only two lines can be partially equal, others are unique) row, which are the same as in the previous row.
    3. Use coloring to indicate that these two lines are belonging together.
    Best regards,
    Peter

    Hi Peter,
    It is possible to assign colors to a specific row. But you need to have some work around.
    You have to create an extra attribute for each column that you have in your table. The type of that attribute should be of WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN.
    After Instatiating your ALV Component you have to use the following statement for the column that you have to apply the color.
    ls_column-r_column->set_cell_design_fieldname( COLUMN1_DESIGN ). Assuming ls_column-r_column will have COLUMN1 as filed name.
    There are 16 colors that are defined and each combination from '00' to '15' will define one color.
    Look at the structure below.  Its a table with 4 columns(2nd and 4th represents colors for first and third columns)
    value11          00            value12          00
    value21          00            value22          00
    value31          02            value32          02.
    If you consider the above struture as your output table 3 rows and 4 columns  then your third row will be highlighted in green color because 02 represents green. You can hide your second column and fourth column in above example because they represents colors. Use the following statement to hide those columns.
    ls_column-r_column->set_visible(
                     cl_wd_uielement=>e_visible-none ). "ls_column-r_column will have 'COLUMN1_DESIGN'
    Let me know if you know more code.
    Thank You,
    Gajendra.

  • HP AiO Remote app will not recognize scan and copy function of HP Envy 120

    Good morning! HP AiO Remote App is installed on my iPad4 and in the same WiFi network with my HP Envy 120 printer. The printer is recognized by the app and marked with a green led. When I tap on scan or copy in the app menu, it tells me that these functions were available in the app only for printers which provide these features. But HP Envy 120 has both scanner and copier.

    Hi UJKarl, welcome to the HP Forums. You should be able to scan from the HP AIO Remote App on your Envy 120 printer. You probably just need to power cycle the printer, iPad and router to regain proper function.
    Turn off your printer with the power button. Power down the iPad by holding the sleep button down until you get the option to 'slide to power off'. Then disconnect the power cord to your router and count to about 10, and then plug it back in. Once the router comes back online, turn the printer on. When the printer comes back online (blue wi-fi light stops blinking), then power the iPad back up. Try again, and it should work.
    Let me know how it turns out.

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • Automator: Apply Color Label and Copy to Folder

    I'm trying my hand at Automator, and I need help with one of my workflows (⇪). Basically, it's a service (accessible via right-click) that will apply a color label on an image file, and then copy that image file to a corresponding folder with the same color label. My current version works fine, except for the fact that I had to create seven versions to accommodate all seven colors.
    Is there any way to turn the color into a variable? I want the workflow to prompt me for a color, and then use that choice to run a search for the appropriate folder. I'd rather not hard code the color choice into separate services that all do the same thing.
    Also, the service currently assumes that it will run fast enough before I can deselect the target file. I'm sure it's possible that the folder search could lag out while I select another file, and the service will ultimately copy the newly selected item, rather than the initial target. Is there a way to ensure the service acts on whatever was selected when it was first triggered?
    I don't know AppleScript beyond copying-and-pasting other people's codes, so that limits my automation quite a bit. I don't know how to prompt for a label index choice and then feed the result into a find function. I also don't know how to record the file path of the selected item, and then feed that into the copy function at the end to ensure it doesn't copy the wrong file.

    Typically a list of items is passed to a workflow, so you will usually (depending on what you are doing with the items) need to step through the items in that list. If there is only one destination folder with the target label, you can just search for it, otherwise you will need to specify the destination in some other way.
    The following Service workflow example assumes that there is only one destination folder that has a given label color. It gets the label index of one of the input items and finds a folder with the same index at a specified base location (to limit the search range).
    1) Input items are automatically passed to an application or service, otherwise another action to get FInder Items can be used
    2) *Label Finder Items* (show the action when the workflow runs)
    3) *Run AppleScript* (paste the following script)
    <pre style="
    font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
    font-size: 10px;

    title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
    on run {input, parameters} -- copy to a labelled folder
    This action is designed to follow a "Label Finder Items" action.  It will get the
    first folder of the base folder that has the same label and copy the input items
    to that folder.
    input: a list of Finder items received from a "Label Finder Items" action
    output: a list of Finder items to be passed on to a following action
    set output to {}
    set skippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
    set baseFolder to (((path to pictures folder) as text) & "Shelley:Mary:") as alias -- a place to start looking for the destination folder
    tell application "Finder"
    set theLabel to label index of (the first item of the input) -- just pick one, they should all be the same
    get folders of (entire contents of baseFolder) whose label index is theLabel -- include subfolders
    -- get folders of  baseFolder whose label index is theLabel -- no subfolders
    if the result is not {} then
    set theDestination to the first item of the result
    else -- no folder
    error number -128 -- cancel
    end if
    end tell
    repeat with anItem in the input -- step through each item in the input

    tell application "Finder" to duplicate anItem to theDestination

  • Having difficulty scanning and copying on Office jet 6500A plus.  Prints fine.  Scans and copies are illegible and contain hundreds of vertical lines.  I did all of the various cleaning tasks suggested.

    Having difficulty scanning and copying on Officejet 6500A Plus.  Prints fine.  Scans and copies are illegible with hundreds of verticle lines on the page.  I did all of the various cleaning and restart suggestions, but still doesn't work.

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
