HP Office Jet Pro 8600: Error Message: Scan in use - wait until the job is done

Have used my scan function without problem since the purchase of machine and one year on Microsoft Windows 10.  Last week I did some scans - now this week when I try to use my scan function I get the following error message: Scanner is busy.  The scanner is currently in use.  Wait until your previous task is completed, and then try to scan the image.

-There is no unfinished business and I can't find anywhere to clear the error or erase any task the scanner thinks he's working on.  Has anyone met and solved this problem?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    How to scan multiple pages into a single document?

    Thank you

    Hi REDFIERO,

    I can help you scan multiple pages to a file.

    If you use a Mac, you can perform your analysis with HP Scan and when you save the file, choose PDF. Under the PDF Format you chose you will see the option to save all pages in a single file.

    If you are using a Windows operating system, follow the instructions in the following document, Scanning of multiple in a single PDF Pages.

  • Re: office jet pro 8600 connect with router but not recognized on the network

    BUT... it did NOT work for me.

    I have the same situation:

    1. I bought and installed e-8600 HP OfficeJet Pro on my Linksys wireless network, while it was usable by anyone with connectivity to my wireless network.  It is installed without problem.

    2. I need to reconfigure and move my Pro e-8600 to my Linksys Wireless to my network routers NETGEAR AC1450 wireless, so I removed the printer and uninstalled all the software Pro e-8600 my laptop ACER running 7/Windows-b4bit.  I have restored the default settings on my Pro e-8600, reconnected to my network NETGEAR Wireless and restarted all power of the State.

    3. when I downloaded the latest driver for the Pro e-8600 to hp.com and tried to reinstall the e-8600 Pro on my NETGEAR network, the installation software couldn't recognize the e-8600 Pro on my NETGEAR network.  During the process, the software recognized the network, but the printer is not found.

    Help!

    Hello-

    Have you checked your router settings?

    Although the wizard detects the printer and you can reach the built-in Web server, the printer is not communicating with the router effectively.

  • Office jet pro 8600 connect with router but not recognized on the network

    I just installed new router e1200 lonksys. JO HP 8600 pro connects with the router, but the printer cannot see 8600. IP 169.254.223.37 on said install ip is the placeholder and printer not connected. have restarted once 1000 and tried to reconnect. New router has OMP and thrust of 3 seconds the button on the router. Also failed to connect on the router definition reviews

    8600 worked fine on the old router. Problem started when I connected the router after that cable modem connected then modem vonage. Previous setting was cable - vonanage and wireless router - all worked well then.

    Also downloaded 8600 new complete software after losing the Wi - Fi connection - please help!

    If the Ethernet cable is plugged into the printer, it will disable the wireless radio.

    If this is not the case in the network menu, network by default.  Then, in the same network menu, run the Wireless Setup Wizard.

    If this does not work, we will come on your new router a bit.

  • How to scan using your HP Office Jet Pro 8600

    Well, I got my answer because I could not find a topic 'resolved' in this regard. So I decided to post my findings to help the next interrogator (is that a word = the one interviewing). FYI - I am not a "geek", and while I can find my way around a computer it sometimes takes a while.  Also, I have Windows 7 on this laptop if it makes a difference.

    1. go to control panel and choose:

    2. material and audio, then

    3 devices and printers, then

    4 fax - HP Office Jet Pro 8600 (network) or whatever printer choice applies to your situation, then

    5 HP Printer Wizard, then

    6 scanner activities, then

    7. analyze a document or a picture, then

    8. Save as PDF

    9 scan

    10. save in a folder you choose

    I know this may seem simplistic to most of you, but maybe someone like me is out there, trying to find this out and this could help.

    Hello Acupuncture,

    Thank you for posting your solution you found yourself, on the use of the scanning function on your HP OfficeJet Pro 8600. I apologize as we were not fast enough to answer one of your questions on the Forums of HP Support. I've been able to check your user page but could not find your original post on us asking how Scan, did you remove the question? Anyway I'm glad you are now to the top and scanning of your JO 8600.

    For later use, I would like to you to take a look here: how Scan: Windows 7, here we will give all the options and shortcuts on scanning with or without the HP software as well as a few cool features, like the scan from the front panel of your 8600 and adding several pages in a single file.

    Yet once I thank you for taking the time to help other members of the community, so thank you once again!

  • Office Jet Pro 8600 Plus scanning issues

    I had my Office Jet Pro 8600 more for a few months and have been scanning a pretty good volume without problems.  Now, I have what I believe to be a their material.  That's the problem.  I'm getting random LARGE band (broad sense) about 1/2 to 3/4 inch of black, gray, or white streaks down the pages.  I had the problem of cleaning so I cleaned everything, always there, but not every time.  So I raised the lid and set the paper on the glass, guess what still there.  So now I know that it is NOT a problem of cleaning.  Switch papers, always there.  Is not a problem of cleaning, not a charger problems, not paper I'm scanning.  At this point, the only thing I can think is that some of the scanning light is on the fritz.  It seems to do better after a rest and as I said it comes and goes.  Any ideas anyone?   I think that this could be a problem of default.  Please let me know.

    Hey Boefixepa,

    If the printer is to give you a black line when scanning/copying with the ADF and flat, then I would hazard a guess that the printer is connected to a surge protector.  If so, then try the following steps.

    * Unplug the printer while on

    Disconnect the other end of the power cord from the surge protector

    * Wait 60 seconds

    * Plug the printer back to power on a direct outlet

    The 8600 does not need to have a surge between her protector and the wall unit has protection against overvoltages, built in.  Being doubled surge protection can sometimes cause this type of line to appear using the 8600.  I hope this helps.

  • Trouble installing the software and the driver for Office Jet Pro 8600

    I get error that "additional software is necessary to continue' when I try to install the software and drivers for my wireless printer Office Jet Pro 8600. I just got a new laptop and had at first no parameter problem the printer and it prints fine, but now for some reason it is not print at all. I tried to restart my laptop and printer several times, but it keeps saying printer offline even if it is connected to my wireless. I followed the recommendation of an assignment that suggests to abolish the printer and reinstall, which is where I am now. Now, I can not install this printer at all by the above error message. Help, please!

    Thank you!

    Hi HSchulz,

    When you try to install with the CD, try installing the latest Windows 7 driver from the HP website. Restart the computer, turn off the printer, then reboot your router and then launch the installation. Here is a direct link to the driver file:

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/softlib/software12/COL40120/bi-108858-4/OJ8600_1315-1.exe

    Select the connection Wireless option during installation to get the printer on the network and associated with the laptop. Let me know if this helped at all...

  • Office Jet Pro 8600: office jet pro 8600 clear the display

    I have an Office Jet Pro 8600 and need to know if there is a way to fix the screen faded. You don't see the options like print, scan, fax, tools...  It isn't that I know where they are and who's who for the most part.

    In addition, scanning is not clear.  Everything is faded.  However, it still prints and faxes by a fine.  I hope I don't have to buy a new All In One Printer.  I finally got most of the glitches and tricks when I have a problem with it.  Is it possible that there is a light bulb needs to be changed or something?  I appreciate your help & feed back as soon as possible.  I use in an office on a daily basis.

    Hey @mere4340,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.

    I see that you have some problems with the copy and see the display on your Officejet 8600 e-all-in-one printer. I can help you with that.

    To start, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once it is, while the printer is on, remove the power cable at the back of the printer for one minute.

    If after the above, that you can't always see the screen or copy clear, the printer needs to be replaced because it has no replaceable bulbs in the scanner or the display. You can contact the HP Support by clicking here and filling out the form below to see what options are available.

    Please let me know if that solves your problems. If so, please click on accept solution. If you appreciate my help, please click on the thumbs up icon. The two icons are below this post.

  • How to print envelopes and labels on an Office Jet Pro 8600 more all-in-one

    Envelopes and labels can be printed using the paper on top of the Office Jet Pro 8600 more printer all-in-one?

    If printing envelopes the lower tray, should I remove the paper from the tray and adjust the margns?

    cor21911,

    You are not able to print labels or envelopes of the ADF, for copying or scanning only. Also, it is not necessary to remove the regular printer paper to print on these types of media, even if it can make it a little easier. All you have to do is go to word or any other type of program allows you to print and select the appropriate model label or envelope and follow the instructions.

    Let me know if you need additional assistance.

  • HP Office Jet Pro 8600 thus: Office Jet Pro 8600 more

    I have a problem recently set at the point to save a scanned image.  My HP Office Jet Pro 8600 more communicates very well with my MacPro conputer but save him as option is grayed out.  I tried savving in jpg or pdf, but grayed out now.  I don't know how this some.  I had the sytem for a few years and am just now finding this problem.  I wonder for a prefix (I remember this, but...) and no matter what I enter here the Save as button remains greyed out.

    It works if I choose 'print' scanned image print and then saved as a pdf.

    I tried everything turning on and off.  The scanner is connected to the wireless computer.

    Any help will be appreciated.
