DESCRIPTION

Genuine HP OEM Scanner CIS / Contact Image Sensor Assembly

For sale is a genuine HP OEM Scanner CIS Bar / Contact Image Sensor (CIS) Assembly, removed from an HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 All-in-One printer.

HP Part Number: J7K33-40008

This is the optical scanning component used inside the scanner assembly to capture the image of documents, photos, and other originals placed on the scanner glass.

The CIS assembly is a critical component of the scanner system because it converts the light reflected from the original document into the electronic image used by the printer's scanning and copying functions.

The unit was removed from a working HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 and tested and confirmed to be working properly before being listed.

The exact item shown in the photographs is the item you will receive.

WHAT IS A CIS SCANNER BAR?

CIS stands for Contact Image Sensor.

The CIS bar is the long optical sensor assembly that moves underneath the scanner glass while scanning a document.

As the scanner carriage moves across the page, the CIS captures the reflected image and converts it into digital information.

It is used for functions such as:

• Document scanning
• Photo scanning
• Copying
• Capturing text and images
• Producing digital copies of documents

Because the CIS is responsible for actually capturing the image, a defective scanner sensor can cause significant scanning or copying problems.

WHY WOULD SOMEONE NEED THIS PART?

A replacement CIS scanner assembly can be useful when an HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 develops a problem with the scanning or copying system and the CIS has been diagnosed as defective.

Possible symptoms of a failing scanner CIS or optical scanning system may include:

• Scanner produces blank images
• Scanned documents contain vertical lines
• Scanned images have missing sections
• Dark or distorted portions of the scan
• Incorrect colors or image reproduction
• Scanner produces distorted images
• Scanner fails to properly capture the document
• Copy quality is poor even though printing works correctly
• Scanner lamp/light-related problems
• Scanner carriage moves but does not produce a proper image
• Scanner-related hardware errors

A defective CIS is only one possible cause of these symptoms. Problems can also originate from the scanner glass, calibration area, carriage mechanism, cables, scanner electronics, or other components.

Proper diagnosis before replacing the CIS is recommended.

Scanner glass, scanner lid, complete scanner assembly, printer, cables, formatter, power supply, and other printer components are NOT included unless specifically shown in the listing photographs.

• Mounting arrangement
• Sensor housing
• Overall appearance

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT SCANNER PROBLEMS

A scanner problem does not always mean that the CIS itself is defective.

Other possible causes can include:

WHY REPLACE THE CIS INSTEAD OF THE ENTIRE PRINTER?

The HP OfficeJet Pro 6968 combines printing, scanning, copying, and other functions into one machine.

If the printer portion is still working properly but the scanner has a hardware problem, replacing the individual CIS component can be a much more economical repair than replacing the entire all-in-one printer.

This makes the part particularly useful for printer repair technicians and refurbishers who want to repair individual assemblies instead of replacing an entire machine.
