Can't scan to Computer using MFPM425

Just bought a new MFP M425.  There is no feature to "Scan to PC" , rather 1) scan to USB, 2) scan to Network Folder or 3) Scan to Email.  I want to be able to use the scanner feature to scan directly to my PC and to a pdf format.  There have been some previous posts regarding using "Windows Fax and Scan" but that does have a .pdf option.  Other posts talk about using the "HP Scan software from your PC"    Is the "HP Scan software"  a separate download?  Any other options?  Thanks for your help.  
This question was solved.

Hi,
Scanning to a computer from teh front panel is ot supported on many Laserjet devices such as the M425.
If the printer is connected to the network you may set a shared network folder and scan PDF from the front panel, that an be set as following:
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5096243&docId=emr_na-c03463750&docLocale...
If you prefer to use the HP Scan software install the full feature software on your PC, scanning can be initiated from the HP Scan software on your PC, not from the front panel of the printer.
The full feature software can be downloaded below:
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=5096245&swItemId=ma_104479_4&swEnvOid=406...
Then the HP Scan software will be available under Start > Programs > HP > the printer folder.

    Hi @pfgoodman1,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand that you can scan to email but cannot scan to computer using your HP Officejet 6830 and OS Yosemite. I am sorry to hear this but I am happy to help!
    First, I would make sure that the full feature software and driver is installed and not just the basic software.  
    Then I would recommend the following guides:
    Scan From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a PDF, and to a Memory Device) for HP Offic.... (Select Scanning a photo (.jpeg) or document (.pdf) to the computer.)

  • Scan to Computer using Multidocument feeder

    Tried a scan to computer using the document feeder on my brand new Officejet Pro 6830. Paper did not go in - instead it scanned the blank glass! Does scan to computer not work using multi document feeder?

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    The procedure is supposed to work; the process does depend on a several criteria which are outlined in the User Guide.  Presumably, once these conditions are met, ADF Scan to computer will work as expected.
    ====================================================
    Officejet 6830 – ADF Scan to computer
    From User Guide, Chapter 4 / Page 34
    NOTE: Some scan functions are only available after you have installed the HP printer software.
    Install Full Feature Software – Printer
    Partial Excerpt:
    Scan to a computer
    Before scanning to a computer, make sure you have already installed the HP recommended printer software.
    The printer and computer must be connected and turned on.
    In addition, on Windows computers, the printer software must be running prior to scanning.
    To enable the scan to a computer feature (Windows)
    The scan to a computer feature is enabled by default from the factory. Follow these instructions if the feature has been disabled, and you wish to enable it again (either using an Ethernet cable or wireless connection).
    Open the HP printer software
    Go to the Scan section
    Select Manage Scan to Computer
    Click Enable
    To scan an original from the printer control panel
    Load your original print-side down on the scanner glass or print-side up in the document feeder
    For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the document feeder.
    Touch Scan, and then select Computer
    Touch a computer that you want to scan to
    Choose the type of scan profile you want
    Touch Start Scan
    To scan an original from HP printer software (Windows)
    Load your original print-side down on the scanner glass or print-side up in the document feeder.
    For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass or Load an original in the document feeder.
    Depending on your operating system, do one of the following:
    Windows 8.1: Click the down arrow in lower left corner of the Start screen, and then select the printer name.
    Windows 8: Right-click an empty area on the Start screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then select the printer name.
    Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All Programs, click HP, click the folder for the printer, and then select the icon with the printer's name.
    Click the Print, Scan & Fax icon, and then select Scan a Document or Photo
    Select the type of scan that you want from the shortcut menu and then click Scan
    NOTE: If Show Scan Preview is selected, you will be able to make adjustments to the scanned image in the preview screen
    Select Save if you want to keep the application open for another scan, OR select Done to exit the application
    After the scan is saved, Windows Explorer will open the directory where the scan was saved.

  • HP7520 Still can't scan to computer (Mac)

    I've seen NUMEROUS posts from folks with the same problem:
    The "Scan to Computer" function on the printer doesn't work, even though all other printer functions between the computer and printer work fine.  Printing works fine.  Scanning from the computer works fine.  
    The printer's display shows the computer name when Scan-to-Computer is selected.  But when the scan is initiated, I get a message on the computer:
    "Scan failed - an error occured while communicating with the scanner"
    and a message on the printer:
    "No Connection - no computer is connected..."  
    But of course the computer IS connected!
    On the Mac, the HP Utility's "Enable Scan to Computer" button is grayed out, with the explanation that the HP software required for Scan to Computer could not be located.  Nothing I do let's me enable it.
    Numerous posts on this forum, for this and other HP AIO printers, say to uninstall all the HP printer software and drivers, repair disk permission, reinstall the Full Feature printer software, and reinstall the printer drivers.  
    Did all that multiple times.  Same problem.
    Scan-to-computer used to work at one time and I used it routinely.  Not sure exactly when it stopped, but may have been after upgrading to OS10.9.
    Has anyone actually solved this problem?  All the posts I've seen on this problem seem to end without resolution.

    Hello jonnie_s,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand when scanning from the Photosmart 7520, you receive a message "Scan failed - an error occurred while communicating with the scanner". I will do my best to assist you!
    How is this printer connected? Wireless or USB? I realize you did state that your operating system is 10.9, but are you running the upgraded version such as 10.9.1? Please let me know on this post.
    Have you performed all the Apple updates on your computer? If not, could you please follow this Apple document here. When you reinstalled this HP software, did you use the CD or the HP website?
    I would make sure you have completed every step from this HP document on A 'No Computer Detected' or 'Connection Error' Message Displays during Scanning.
    I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great night!

    Hi,
    I know how to reproduce this problem.
    Please don’t retest this to avoid wasting your time.
    If I click “Hide Photoshop” directly in Photoshop, then this bug doesn’t occur.
    However, if I go to another product and then select “Hide others”, then this  bug occurs.
    This is an already known bug and thanks Zhengping Wang forward this related information to me.

  • Can not scan from computer, but can print

    Since a few weeks I'm not able to scan anymore from my computer using HP Scan. I still can print from my computer. It doesn't matter if my computer is connected to my network by Wifi or by wire. My printer is connected to the network by wire. 
    Scanning wasn't a problem until some weeks ago. I don't know what change caused this situation.
    The message that is displayed on the screen of my computer says 'HP LaserJet 200 colorMFP M276nw-AirPrint is is not available ...'. The reference to Airprint puzzles me. 
    Does anyone recognize this situation and / or has a solution?

    Thanks for providing the screen shots Gvmdh_Hbl.
    It still doesn't look like the full driver is installed for the printer. Your missing the Print and Scan tab on the Printers and Scanners window.
    Here is a screen shot of what it should look like.
    Repair the Disk Permissions and Reset the the Printing System to see if it helps.
    Repair the Disk Permissions on the Mac:
    Close all applications.
    On the Apple menu bar, click Go, click Applications and then click Utilities.
    Double-click Disk Utility.
    Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left.
    Click Verify and then Repair Disk Permissions.
    Restart the computer..
    Reset the Printing System:
    Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol.
    Click the Apple icon and then click System Preferences.
    Click Printers & Scanners.
    Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left white side panel, then click Reset printing system.
    Click OK to confirm the reset.
    Type the correct Name and Password.
    Click OK to reset the printing system.
    Then click the + sign to add the driver, highlight the printer. (you might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name) Then click on the Add button.
    If you are still having issues, I would uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

  • Scan to computer using HP Officejet Pro 8500 produces empty pdf

    Hi,
    Since upgrading Windows on my computer from 8 to 8.1, the scan to computer function does not work properly. It produces a pdf file that is 0kb and when I try to open the file it says it is not a supported file or the file is damaged. The scan to USB works fine, and the scan to computer still works fine with other computers on the network that are using earlier versions of Windows.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, run the HP install wizard, run the HP diagnostic utility and the HP doctor. The HP doctor says that everything is working fine.
    What can I try next?
    Thanks,
    Beth

    Welcome to the forums Beth
    Thank you for posting in the community. I will certainly do my best to help you with the scanning issue you are running into after upgrading to Windows 8.1. I would like you to try a few things.
    Could you please run the HP Print and Scan Doctor again and report back to me with any errors it may show or if it shows the software is not installed. (If you can recall the tool showing if the software was installed or not, disregard running the tool again).
    I would also like for you to try scanning by using Microsoft Paint to see if the scan will work that way.
    There is a video on this post that will show you how to scan through Paint if you need assistance: Scanning with Paint in Windows 8
    Try scanning by using the Solution Center from your desktop and let me know if you see any errors as well.
    Hope to hear back from you!
    Enjoy your Thursday

  • Officejet 6700 can't scan to computer

    Scan to Computer suddenly stopped working (scan to USB device still works). Downloaded driver software several times; at first scan to computer would work briefly before failing, but now has stopped working altogether. Error message displayed is "scan to computer cannot be enabled" and "remedy" recommended is to install the driver software. But reinstalling the software doesn't help.

  • HT4505 can you scan 4x6 photos using Image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo. I have to crop the photo once it is scanned

    Can you scan multiple 4x6 photos using image Capture that will actually scan as a 4x6 photo? I seem to have to crop each photo once it is scanned.

    How long is a string?
    The answer depends on a large number of variables
    Cropping removes the area cropped off so the pixel size of a cropped photos is smaller than an upcropped one
    With iPhoto you can always revert ot the original so if the new quality is not enough for your use you can go back to the uncropped original
    size - many meanings
    DPI - simple - Dots Per Inch - the number of dots (pixels) in a dimension divided by the number of inches of the display(print) - very simple math
    Pixels and dots are the same for this discussion
    so if a photo is shot in a 3:2 ratio (6x4 is also a 3:2 ratio) then the photo is the shape of a 4x6 photo with no cropping - is a photo shot in a 4:3 ratio is cropped to a 4:6 ratio (which is also a 3:2 ratio) then some information is going to be removed - assuming that you set the cropping frame as large as possible in one direction and only crop two sides then you lose the minimum amount of information
    Most iPhoto uses of photos are designed aroung 4:3 photos so in general I would only recommend cropping 4:3 photos if you want to print them in standard print sizes
    iPhoto slide shows will work best with 4:3 photos so cropping to 4:6 would be a mistake

  • Can't Scan to computer with HP 8620 on Yosemite

    I just purchased a new HP OfficeJet Pro 8620. When I try to scan to computer, either through the software on my mac or via the panel on the printer, I receive the messages "Scan to Computer Cannot Be Enabled" or when from the printer "Scan Unsucessfull". 
    This 8620 replaced my HP LaserJet CM1017. I had no problems scanning and printing with this laserjet on the same Mac.
    Any help would be appreicated.
    P.S. I tried the tips from this link...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docnam​e=c04090234&tmp_task=solveCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&la​...
    Step one: Check the Scan to Computer setting 
    On the main menu, click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
    Click Print & Scan.
    Under Printers, click your printer, if you see more than one printer.
    Click Open Print Queue. The print queue for your printer opens.
    Click Printer Setup or Settings. A new window opens.
    Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility. The HP Utility window opens.
    Under Scan Settings, click Scan to Computer.
    At the top of the screen, click the check box next to Enable Scan to Computer, if it is not already checked. Scan to Computer is enabled.
    When I get to step 6, there's no Utility tab.

    Hi there @faruz
    Welcome to the forums
    I saw and read through your post about the scanning issues you have been having with your Officejet 8620 and Yosemite. I have some steps that I would recommend to see if they help!
    In order, try:
    Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system
    Repair disk permissions
    Restart your Mac
    Re-add the printer, here's the full driver: HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-All-in-One Printer series Full Feature Software and Drivers
