Copying feature - HP PSC 1610

Copier feature is not working. Produces a completely black page from either the black button or the color button. I can, however, print to it from my PC and it's just fine.

    I cannot copy color or black. Also the scan feature does not work either. Printing messages still works. HP Tech says the light/ illuminating system does not work that's why it's printing black. It's not worth fixing if out of warranty .

The light source has failed thus the original is not being illuminated.
The copier thinks you are copying a black piece of paper.

Printing from the PC does not require any light source, therefore printing is not affected.

Check your manual to see if it mentions a replacement routine; if not, and if it is no longer under warranty, you are maybe stuck with tossing it or taking to your friendly neighborhood techie who is trying to pay his rent.

Copier problem

HP.com has a few web pages that might help. One is a general troubleshooting page that you can review and the other specifically addresses the issue of "white lines" in a copy:

Troubleshooting Copying Issues

White Lines Through Copies

Read through both web pages and see if there's a suggestion that will help solve your problem. Good luck.

Copier feature (Black or Color) only produces a Black page

I beleive you are not able to make a color copy, once try to scan from the computer or all-in-one to check whether the scanner mechanism is working properly or not, if the scan comes out fine then remove the color cartridge and clean the copper contacts of the cartridge with soft cotton cloth and also check the ink level of the cartridge, if the issue persists replace the color cartridge and if even the scan does not comes out good then there is an issue with the scanner mechanism.

Photocopying

According to " HP Officejet R, PSC 500 and Color Copier - General Copying Issues and Solutions", under the problem heading "Black is not Black", notes that:

"The unit will perform mono (or black) copies using the color cartridge to create a composite black in Normal and Best modes. This is necessary to create the correct grayscale shades. NOTE: The HP PSC 500 all-in-one product cannot perform black copies. Scan the image in and print it out in greyscale.

The color cartridge may be out of one color of ink. Run a self-test page to verify that all the colors are there. Replace the cartridge if they are not."

In other words, the device only uses the black ink cartridge when used as a computer printer. When used as a stand-alone copier, it uses the color ink cartridge, and all three ink colors must be present and working to give a black and white copy. Perhaps you can refill the color cartridge with black ink in all chambers?
