How to reduce the resolution to scan from the HP Officejet Pro 8600 on iMac

I use a new HP Officejet Pro 8600 (N911a) with my iMac (OS 10.5.8) wireless. It produces large analyses... too big for my needs. Everything I scan results (1 to 8 page WORD documents) in 3 to 10MB PDF file size, some of which are too big to send an e-mail to some people.  How can I adjust the resolution down to create smaller pdf files?

Tell that to analyze and it will ask you what type of scan, you want to make and which printer you want to use.  Apart from these options should be an arrow pointing down.  Click on this button, and it will give you options of different analysis for the type of analysis that you have chosen.  This should give you all the options you need to go down the size of the documents.  I use OS X 10.8, so if you see something different, let me know and I'll try to walk you through it.

  • Unable to scan from my HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus to my Mac iOS 10.10

    Just bought a new Mac and execution of Yosemite. Tried to add my 8600 and it prints but will not scan. When you try to scan to the computer, a message "the HP software required for the Scan of the computer could not be located on this computer. Please download and install the latest HP recommended software for your device to http://www.hp.com/support and then try again. "When I followed the link, he directs me to download the driver again... and the beginning of the cycle. I tried to uninstall completely while following the previous suggestions in the forum, but nothing did.

    I'm a new Mac user, but just can't understand why it would work on my PC and not the new Mac.

    Hi castagmc,

    Welcome to the HP Forums.

    I see that you experience a problem when you attempt to get the new Yosemite driver installed for the printer.

    I have some suggestions that we can try to solve this problem.

    First of all, please remove the cable usb from the printer and Mac and leave that it disconnected until further notice.

    I have a link that I give you which gives detailed instructions for uninstalling the printer software.

    Once the uninstall is complete, reboot the Mac for changes to take effect.

    When the Mac is back running, disable any anti virus protection, you can running. We don't want anything to get in the way when reinstall us.

    The next step is to download and install the HP Officejet Pro 8600 series full feature software and drivers.

    The installation will prompt you as to connect the usb cable then please do not it connect before hand.

    Please do not hesitate to write me again if you have any other questions.

    If troubleshooting doesn't help not solve your problem, then I would say call the HP Technical Support to see all the other possibilities for you. If you call in North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, please click here: click here.

    Thanks for your time.

  • The HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 does support e-print? I am running Win 7 Pro 64-bit

    Can you please tell me: the HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 does support e-print?  I can't find or generate or figure out how to create an e-mail address for this printer.  Thank you.

    Hello BoPeepLamb,

    8600 printer OfficeJet does support ePrint. You can access the e-mail address of printers by allowing Web Services to the main display on the printer. The icon is located on the top left corner of the screen and looks like the sheet of paper with circles behind it. Before you can enable Web Services, you must ensure that you have a valid internet connection first.

    Once you have enabled Web Services, you should have a print sheet mobile printing with a printer code and the link to http://www.eprintcenter.com where you can create an account and customize your e-mail address printers.

    If you have any other questions do not hesitate to reply to this message and I'll try to find an answer for you.

  • How are added to the HP Officejet Pro 8600 printing solution Center

    The center of printing solutions shows my Photosmart C5580.  No idea how to add an OfficeJet Pro 8600?

    Shlomi Hi and thanks for a quick response.

    I had hoped to add 8600 Solution Center as an HP upgrade / download link in the menu Wizard printer you mention using the icon, re - set the default printer for the "8600 Fax.

    He also changed the list of this menu screen to be only four: HP printer Asst (but does nothing when a click), Set Prefs, see what printing and the printer to customize.

    Previous menu, as you no doubt refers, had several printer features that included all submenu links functions, I used (including to scan a doc, preferences, etc.).  Frustrating...

    After uninstalling and reinstalling, tweaking, etc, I always have this quick menu by clicking on the icon of tune.  I have tried different methods of scanning as the right click on the printer in Control Panel devices, but the scanning from which lead to a horrible list of basic functions, a confusing list of formats, etc.

    Finally, I did a scan in the screen menu of the printer who made a point "scan" in the Start Menu, I right click it to pin that on the Start Menu, then created a new shortcut on the desktop with the path to him... and now the icon / printer works to get the menu scanning.  Phew!

    About the loss of the Solution Center is regrettable.  Very handy tool to do the various tasks and the refinements of a scanned document that do not exist in the limited functions / buttons on the 8600 scan menu results.

    At the same time and while I'm... To the laserjet subject large workhorse of HP LJet 1320, several other positions and all forums have problems loss of functionality after passage from XP to Win7.  I finally got all but one device works (PCL6/5th, printing on both sides, etc.), but the pilot is only 600 dpi quality close to the project, instead of the prior 1200 dpi (especially good for forms, thin fonts, etc..).  Which is just a discharge on the technology and support for the products that brought me as a customer to use HP in the first place.

    Thanks again for your reply and your suggestions.  Ready to try anything to solve the so-called reliable downloads / upgrades.

    Best regards...

    I'm trying to scan legal documents of sizes on my Officejet Pro 8600 Plus new.

  • HP scanner not work on the new Officejet Pro 8600

    Hello

    I have a brand new Officejet Pro 8600 Premium and a not scan using the HP scanning application.  When I click on the "Scan" button, I finally have a message that says "Sanner reported an error Impossible to log on to the device.  I am able to print without any problems.

    I've updated all the software with the latest version from the HP website.  I'm on OS X Lion of the mountains (10.8).  I am also unable to perform a scan by using the picture Capture application in my folder of the application.  When I try to use this application, all the buttons are gray, so that I can not click on them.

    I was able to fix this on my own.  I discovered that SNMP has been disabled in the settings of the printer.  Once I enabled it, not only the scanner started to operate via HP Scan, but the HP utility has been able to identify and change the settings of the printer, where before it only showed the printer as 'unknown '.

  • Lack the HP (Officejet Pro 8600 Plus) utility. no need to reinstall - cannot uninstall the printer software

    I had to wipe my iMac and resinstall IOS Mavericks (10.9.5).  Printer (Officejet Pro 8600, 9N11g) works, but won't scan (double-clicking icon in "original item cannot be found") and the HP utility on dock icon is absent, replaced by a "?."  I found instructions to uninstall the printer software so I can reinstall... but there is no longer any HP or "Uninstalling HP's" on my Mac HD folder.  Not there at - it a HP folder in the library/printers folders.  Research Spotlight shows no HP or Hewlett-Packard folder on my hard drive.

  • prints too far to the bottom of the page - officejet pro 8600

    Have an officejet pro 8600.

    Recently, when printing, two problems occur...

    (1) the document printing starts printing about 1.5 "to 2" further down the page then it should. This translates into the lower part of the document is not printing.

    (2) there is a crease/fold about 3 "from the top of the sheet.

    It seems that the paper is loaded too soon or that actual printing is delayed.

    We have cleaned all rollers and check the wheel star - no damage

  • Re: How to scan legal size in OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus documents

    How to scan legal size documents in Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus?

    In fact, the problem was located. I is broke and finally called HP support. It turns out that, contrary to the information that I have seen elsewhere, legal size paper MUST be analysed the ADF, not the dish. You can see a white band across the plateau where the search starts. The dish is physically unable to accommodate legal communication. Once the original is loaded in the ADF, the size of the document options now include legal communication.

  • How to connect the HP Officejet Pro 8610 to a laptop that does not connect to internet

    Just bought the HP all-in-one Officejet Pro 8610 for the local historical society. The laptop and the printer will be connected to the Internet. The printer will only be used for printing reports, scanning images, etc.

    I just removed the instruction manual to familiarize myself with the connection procedure, but I noticed there are several references that require internet access.

    Is there a workaround solution that allows me to install/connect the printer without having to access the internet?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hello

    Given a special environment USB is probably the way to go. You don't need a special USB cable. Your printer has two USB ports, one on the front (#4) and the other at the back. You must use the rear USB port (#13)

    And the USB cable is similar to the following:

    http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?Main_Page=product_info&products_id=25512&cPath=135&utm_source=GoogleBase&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=export_feed&gclid=CJqz96LO-8ECFdglvQodZmkAYA#GoogleBase

    The "flat" end for your computer/laptop and 'round' (well almost round) is for the printer. Please check the box first, depending on where you are (country, region), the cable may already be inside the box.

    Kind regards.
