OfficeJet Pro 8600 How To Change Scan to Email Signature

It's getting a little frustrating with all these updates and changes - not being to find where to accomplish anything. I cannot for the life of me figure out where to change my "Scan to Email" signature. I changed real estate companies and need to change my scan to email signature. The new HP Connected is only good for trying to sell you more stuff. Oh, and Windows 8 and all these apps that you're supposed to download now . .also don't give you a place for any of these settings!
Signed,
Totally Frustrated

Hi there,
I'm not an expert on this topic, but I found some information in the product manual that I hope will help. I'm sorry trying to make this simple change has been such a frustrating experience!
The product manual is located here. Go to page 55 for information about setting/changing scan to e-mail settings.
Thanks!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format

HP Officejet Pro 8600 won't save scanned document in searchable PDF or .rtf format
The scanner scans the document without a problem but when I select 'SAVE' and
specify a location and file name, a system error 'The HP scan application was
unable to save the file to the specified location'. It will save a regular PDF file
or a JPG file with no problem, but trying to save an searchable PDF or .rtf file
results in the above mentioned system error.
This problem occurs either from HP SCAN or from the 8600 scan panel.
The computer is running Windows XP and the I.R.I.S. OCR software is
loaded.

Hello TrailsEnd,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand you're receiving an error message "The HP scan application was unable to save the file to the specified location". I will do my best to assist you!
First, I would recommend downloading this tool called the Print and Scan Doctor. This tool diagnoses and helps resolve common printing, scanning, and connectivity problems, including: (This information is stated here.)
USB: Verifies that the USB connection from your computer to the HP product is working correctly.
Network: Verifies that the network connection between your computer and your network is working correctly.
Device Status Test : Checks for device errors such as out of paper, paper jams, carriage stalls, and paper feed issues, and then provides instructions for fixing the error.
Driver Check : Checks for missing or corrupt driver files.
Device Manager : Checks for problems in Device Manager that would prevent printing.
Device Online : Checks if the product has been paused or set to offline, and then sets the status back to online if necessary.
Print Queue : Checks for and clears pending print jobs in the print queue (a log of print jobs waiting to print).
Port Match : Checks the port settings for the HP product.
Device Conflicts : Checks for conflicts with other drivers, such as other printer brands.
Ink Issues : Checks the cartridges and ink levels for issues that affect print quality.
Print Settings : Checks and adjusts the print quality settings.
Test Print : Prints a test page for print quality evaluation, and provides options for cleaning and aligning the printhead if necessary.
Scan Tests : Checks the scan mechanism, drivers, and registry entries.
Let me know if this tool fixes a scanning problem on this post. If this doesn't resolve your issue, then I am going to recommend uninstalling the software. Please follow this HP document on Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once this is complete, you can perform a clean boot on your computer. I will provide a Microsoft document here to help you. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run a program. Now, you can install the full feature software from the HP website here.
Please post your results, as I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great day!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus suddenly has scan malfunctions

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus which has worked fine up to one week ago. Now and for no apparent reason the scan function has decided to work intermittently. Whenever I use the HP software and use the scan option, the scanner starts up and does its pre-check, starts to scan and then either stops halfway or scans the document/picture but then saves a blank file or PDF afterwards.
I have done a semi-full reset on the printer and set it up again. No change. I have completely deinstalled all HP software, rebooted, reinstalled - no change. I have stopped and started services - no change.
This is driving me crazy as I bought the printer less than six months ago and was up to now pleased with it. All other functionality is working correctly. I can copy documents in a few seconds, printing works fine.
Tried to do a firmware update - message received that it is not applicable. Updated HP Software to newest version. No change.
I am using Windows 8.1 64 bit.
I would like to try a full reset, but don't have this option only the semi-full reset, when I access the service menu. If I cannot resolve this, then I am afraid it will be the last HP printer I ever buy as this has really cheesed me off.
Please help!

I don't wish to be the proverbial bearer of ill tidings but....after spending entirely too many hours talking with several HP tech support "technicians" and on HP support chat sessions with other "technicians," I can tell you that, so far, no one at HP has a clue how to solve this problem. Several times tech support used a remote session on my workstation, but after lots of "trial and error" efforts succeded in restoring the scan function only by running the HP Print and Scan Doctor. I have found that the HP Print and Scan Doctor will always restore the scan-to-computer function - it's a nuisance, but so far nothing else will do the job.
When the 8620 quits scanning, sometimes immediately after successfully scanning multiple documents, I find that my router "sees" the HP 8620 and I can successfully ping its IP address. I can even print(!) but the 8620 seems to be oblivious to its network connection for scanning.
Tech support has offered the usual "solutions" like: turn off the 8620 and turn it on again, update thr firmware, reinstall the driver, use an Ethernet or USB connection (which defeats the purpose of Wi-Fi), and even doing what I took to be a "hard" reboot (unplug the 8620 while power is on, wait 60 seconds, hold down the power button for 30 seconds, plug the AIO in while holding the power button). So far no one has suggested re-installing Windows.
Tech support even insisted that the cause of the 8620 failing to maintain its connection to the network was my having the 8620 draw its power through a multiple outlet power strip. Willing to try just about anything short of examining chicken entrails, I now have the same failure to scan with power coming directly from a 20 amp circuit outlet.
There was a time when a short call to HP tech support fixed the rare problems with HP products.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus - Squeals while scanning

My OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus squeals very loudly while it is automatically feeding paper through to scan the document to a PDF. How do I stop the annoying squeals?? It does NOT squeal while it's printing ... so I'm assuming it has to do with the feeder tray and the rollers associated there ... maybe??

Hey @DEP001,
Welcome to the HP Support Forum! I understand your HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One Printer's ADF has become quite noisy. I would like to assist you with this and may have the steps you need to resolve that issue.
The first thing I suggest is to plug the printer into the wall outlet directly if it is currently in a power surge protector or extension cord. This may sound silly but this will ensure the printer is getting full power and may eliminate any unnecessary troubleshooting. If the printer is no longer getting full power from the power surge or extension cord it may give false errors, have poor connection, paper feed issues and quality issues.
Secondly, I recommend you try the following:
Clean the ADF
Rollers are used to feed paper into the scanner, while the separator pad prevents multiple pages from feeding at the same time. If the rollers or separator pad are dirty, the ADF might not feed the paper correctly. Follow these steps to clean the ADF mechanism.
Open the ADF cover.
Figure : Open the ADF cover (Officejet Pro 8600)
Figure : Open the ADF cover (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus and Premium)
Lightly dampen a clean, lint-free cloth with bottled or distilled water, and then squeeze any excess liquid from the cloth.
Use the damp cloth to clean any residue or dust from the pick rollers and the separator pad.

Firmly close the ADF cover.
Try to print from the ADF again.

Lastly, after you've cleaned the ADF, try a 'hard reset':
Let me know if this helps alleviate the squealing sound when using the ADF.
Have a great day!

Officejet Pro 8600 e. Problem scanning from Scan and Capture App in Win 8.1

Officejet Pro 8600 e. New.
Installed on HP Envy 23 Touch. Running Windows 8.1.
Wireless set up. Prints fine. Problem is scanning from the HP Scan and Capture Software App in Win 8.1
Using Scan and Capture App I can scan photos fine. They come out clear. Scanning documents in GRAY has multiple bands/lines in gray over the entire page running vertically. Scanning documents in COLOR are fine.
Also, if I scan from the printer directly using the touch screen on the printer, the scan output is fine.
I did the Scan utilty to discover any errors and it did not show any. I think it's a software error. I am going to uninstall the HP Scan App and then reinstall. So, I will do the uninstall/reinstall and report back.
Also, I would like to know if there is a desktop program for scanning? I would prefer to use that instead of the Modern HP Scan and Capture App.
Thanks....

Hi artrum,
I understand you've been experiencing issues scanning from your Officejet 8600 using the Windows Scan and Capture program. I will certainly do my best to help you with this!
From what you've explained, I believe you're correct, it does seem like it's an issue just with the Windows Scan and Capture program and as you've been able to scan from the front panel of the printer you definitely have the HP software installed. What I'd like to do is have you use the HP Scan software, where you should no longer run into issues.
To access the HP Scan software and be able to access it easily from your desktop I'd like you to follow the steps below:
1. Go to your start screen and just start typing File Explorer. You should be able to then open it to access your computer's files.
2. Then open Local Disk (C: ), followed by Program Files (x86), followed by HP, then HP Officejet Pro 8600, followed finally by bin.
3. In the bin folder you should see HPScan. You will want to right click on HPScan and go to Send To and then select Desktop.
Now you should see HP Scan on your desktop and be able to open it and scan through that application.
Hope this helps, have a great day!

HP Officejet Pro 8600 unable to open scan / printer options to scan

This was working last week. Trovi.com got on the computer and has since been taken off by Spy Hunter. Now I am unable to scan. I have uninstalled and installed using the disk twice but it still does not let me scan, only print. I am using Windows 8. What else do I need to do? Usually this goes really smooth. What am i doing wrong?

Hello kldv,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you have uninstalled and installed the Officejet Pro 8600 software in an attempt to fix a scanning issue. Have you had a chance to run the Print and Scan Dr on the computer?
Print and Scan Dr<---
It will look into the possible causes and report back if it is able to fix it or what other troubleshooting can be done. Let me know the results.

HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus won't scan in color

I have had this printer for a couple years, and it worked fine. Even though I have done it before, today I cannot scan a photo in color. I have tried scanning as JPG and PDF and Everyday Scan. I set the scan to color, but it always comes out in B&W. I checked to make sure I had the latest drivers installed. What else can I do?

It's my pleasure Surfbored, but I must admit, I am puzzled!
I am going to do some research and will return, if a take a day or too don't think I have forgotten about you. I appreciate your patience.

HP Officejet Pro 8600: How do I get my printer to print black and white when sending it an email?

Whenever I send my printer an email, it automatically prints it in color. Is there a way to set it so that it can print in black and white?

Hi Beemo,
I see that you're wanting to print in black ink only.
I have a couple of questions for you.
Are you trying to print black ink only while using ePrint?
Are you trying to use black ink only when printing from computer?

My HP officejet pro 8600 will print but won't scan wirelessly

My officejet pro 8600 will print and scan with a usb connection. It will also PRINT when connected wirelessly but it doesn't SCAN wirelessly. Running OS X Yosimit 10.10.2. thanks John

Thanks John!
I'm still curious as well, do you get that same error regardless of initiating the scan from the printer or the software?
At this point, I will suggest that you try resetting your printing system (don't re-add the printer just yet) and then perform a verify/repair of your disk permissions. Once those complete, restart your Mac and then add the printer back to the queue.
Try scanning again via the HP software and then the Apple software. Please also ensure you try initiating the scan both from the printer as well as the software and let me know if there is any difference, thanks

Has anyone figured out how to scan from an HP officejet Pro 8600 after upgrading to OS 10.9.4

Has anyone figured out how to scan to a MacBook Pro with 10.9.4 from HP officejet Pro 8600?

iMovie acts as it does, I suspect, because it's so much safer (and easier) to program.
As iMovie is now structured, each clip has a startFrame and an endFrame. They show the starting point and ending point of that clip in its source file. There's only one of each. Simple.
For us to remove a portion of the middle without splitting the clip in two, iMovie would have to allow each clip to have multiple start/end points. So iMovie would have to "remember" that the clip starts playing at frame 100, stops at frame 120, starts again at frame 150, stops at frame 200, and so on. Very complicated.
The amount of data that would be required to undo a change, for example, could become quite large, and be very, very complicated. Lots of opportunity for errors. Imagine what iMovie would have to "remember" if we could remove the middle, added a title to the clip, remove part of the title, then split the clip and applied a slow motion effect to the second part of the split.
This way is simpler, and not all that inconvenient for users, in my opinion. I prefer simple when it adds to reliability.

HT4356 I have two printers on my network. Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600 (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office?

I have two printers on my network. Does anyone know how to change the printer nomenclature - Officejet Pro 8600 (0B54AF) to a recognizable name...like Brad's Office when you use Airprint?

You would have to change that in the printer's settings on the printer, if that option is offered by the manufacturer. The iPhone just finds printers on the network and uses the name they have given themselves or that were given to them when they were set up.

How to Change Wi-Fi Channel Used by Wireless Direct on HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium?

I would like to change the Wi-Fi channel that is used by Wireless Direct between my Lenovo laptop and my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium to reduce interference from other nearby users of Ch. 6 in my condo complex. (I am not using a wireless router setup to connect to the printer.)
Is this possible? If so, how?

Ah... ok. You are using the Wireless Direct with the printer. You computer is wireless to channel 6. That is all you can do unless you changed the router's wireless channel which will only automatically switch on your computer.
