How to scan document on 2540

I just got this product and need to scan and fax documents.  Can't find directions in booklet

Hi @Thefloyds2006,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand that you are wondering how to scan and fax documents with your 2540. I am happy to look into this for you!
According to your printer's user guide, found at this website, HP Deskjet 2540 All-in-One Printer User guides, this printer does not have a fax. But it can Print, Copy, and Scan. If you look at page 32 of the user guide, you will see how to scan.
If this is not your printer, please reply with your printer's product/model number. To find your printer's Product/Model Number follow instructions in this link. Finding Your HP Product Model Number. As well as the Operating System that you are using. If you do not know the Operating System you are using, please visit this website. Whatsmyos.
Hope this clears things up for you, and have a great day!

  • Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad.  My husband is planning on using the ipad for work.

    Can anyone tell me how to scan documents to the icloud, so they will be on the ipad?  My husband is planning on using his ipad for business.  I haven't been able to even find anywhere that I could read about scanning documents.

    If you scanned the documents - what format did you save them in - pdf? If so, Pages will not open pdf files. you can save a file and export it as a pdf from Pages - but not the other way around.
    If you need simply view the documents - you can send them to the iPad via email or DropBox and them open and save them in iBooks. or Adobe Reader. both apps are free. Adobe Reader can use file sharing in iTunes to transfer the files.
    If you need to annotate the files - you will need an app like Goodreader - which can use file sharing from iTunes in order to transfer the files as well. GoodReader may work with iCloud now, but you will have to check that out in the App Store.
    You can read this to see how to use file sharing. It really is pretty easy to use. You do need to do this with your computer.

  • How to scan documents with HP Officejet 5610 and iMac 21.5 ?

    Hello,
    Please can someone tell me how to scan documents with a HP Officejet 5610 all-in-one printer and an iMac 21.5 , OS X Yosemite version 10.10.1 ?
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi,
    Scanning can be done on Yosemite as listed in the following document:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04467713&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
    A such will allow scanning as a PDF file as example.
    If by "Scanning a Document" you may refer to OCR scanning (e.g. scanning a text to a Word file which can be edited), a such is not supported by the provided solution and will require a 3rd party software which offer OCR capabilities. Vuescan re as example support a such:

    First I would suggest that you read the documentation about working with Active/X.
    The online version is in the documentation section of Forms on OTN.
    Then, you insert the scan.ocx into your form. you use the ole importer to create a pl/sql package to communicate with the ocx and you are ready to start calling methods such as scan etc...

  • How to scan documents in windows 8.1 on hp pavillon g 7, using an all-in-one photosmart printer

    I have recently bought the pavillon g7 but can't find the hp icon I used to use for scanning. Could you please tell me where to find it; then how I should proceed. (I installed "scan/capture" but couldn't do anything with that either!) Thanks for any help.

    Interesting to know that normal file extraction did not work. Try these steps:
     Please download the program known as "WinRar" from this website: WinRAR.com
    Open the WinRAR program and click on the arrow on the upper right side to choose your file destination
    Choose your Full Feature Software and Driver you downloaded previously.
    Select the Extract Icon at the top and you will see the following window open. Choose the folder you created on the desktop and click OK.
    Once this extraction has completed, we can open the folder on the desktop and run the Setup.exe file.
    Let me how it goes when it works. Thanks!

  • Mass Retrieval of Scanned Documents/Facsimiles

    Hello Everyone,
    We have recently changed how we scan documents.  The future process does not involve utilizing SAP to store scanned documents; however, we have historical information that we would like to extract out of SAP.  Does anyone know of a way (standard or custom) to perform a mass retrieval of scanned HR documents (Facsimiles)?
    Best Regards,

    Hi Nat,
       If your requirement to store small number of employees like 2000 photos, you can save in R/3 database
    Please check HTTP access to the database repository section in the following, just takes 30 minuets to configure

  • How do I change the resolution of a scanned document/photo on CC568A?

    Its a Photosmart 7520 Series printer.
    The scanned documents are way too large to email, and I can't find anywhere on the printer or online on how to change the resolution to shrink the file size.
    Thank you!

    Hi @JeffJohnson, 
    I see that you are having issues emailing the scans. I can help you.
    How are you scanning the emails? (from the computer or the printer)
    If you are scanning from the computer to email, you can reduce your file size by:
    1. Reducing the scan resolution. Change the dpi.
    2. Scan your document in black/white or grayscale.
    Be aware, that this will change the quality of the scan.
    Here is a document for scanning to email from the printer. I don't believe there are any settings to change the size.
    How to Scan: From the Control Panel (Including Scan to Email, to a USB Drive, and to a Memory Card).
    What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
