HP Officejet Pro 8600 low scan quality

My scanned documents are of very poor quality on my computer. There is a line in the middle of each page and the colors are very dull and low quality. Can anyone here help to solve this problem?

It's weird that the 8600 pro has separate scanners, one for glass and the other the ADF.

If you lift the lid, the ADF scanner is under the small pane on the left side, we get the image for the paper to move through the window, so a spot on the window would result in a line in the image. You can clean the glass with a lint or paper towels.

A line in the scan glass, usually means dead sensor or dust inside the scanner, in this case, the paper does not move, the scanner moves on and forms an image, so a dead sensor would result in an incorrect line. It would be more difficult to correct.

Here is a page from HP on how to clean the scanner glass: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/kb/docDisplay?docId=emr_na-c02881567&ac.admitted=1414217107682.876444892.199480143

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus Scan quality issue

    Hello

    I just set up my HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and everything seems to work properly.  I am really disappointed by the quality of the images so, so I thought I'd see if anyone has experienced the same problem?

    The scanned images are very dynamic, but are too.  Detail is lost in the scan either because the brightness, or because the scanner is not properly using the resolution I have him ask to scan (600 dpi).  I have tried various different brightness and contrast settings in the scan dialog, nothing helps.  Printing HP and Scan Doctor reported no problem.  Increase the resolution of scanning on the 8600 is not helped either.

    I joined a segment of an image of the 8600 and a lot cheaper all-in-one I expected to replace, a canon mp630.  I have bought the 8600 because the scanner component had good reviews, but based on my experience, that I'm starting to have my doubts!

    Please let me know if you think there's nothing I can do to improve the quality of the scans?

    I use Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit.

    Thank you

    Pete

    8600 scan 600 dpi (Note lack of paper grain)

    Canon MP630, 600 dpi (capture of paper grain, wash the details)

    Unfortunately, I must point out that the replacement was no better.  It's a real shame, old flat scanner HP I was replacing with the ACM was high quality, but the Pro 8600 scanner was simply not enough good.

    Ultimately I exchanged for another manufacturer MFP that produces a large part analysis better (even if printing is not as good).

    I had much rather have paid more for a higher quality scan on the HP, but this option is not available to me, which is a shame!  On the 8600 Pro scan color reproduction was great, but there not only to capture the details.

    You can adjust for color problems in the software, but if the detail is not captured, you can't put it in!

  • Need help to set up officejet pro 8600 and scanning to the network on OSX Lion folder

    Hello

    I'm trying to implement my Officejet Pro 8600 more scan to a network under OSX Lion folder.  I have correctly set up the printer otherwise (and can scan and flown from my Mac).  I created SMB sharing as described in the documentation.  My only question is what to enter in the Web server of the printer when it asks for the network path of the shared folder.

    For example, I have the following shared folder:

    / Users/me/Documents/scans/Durable goods received

    on my computer that has name is:

    My iMac

    has an IP address:

    172.16.1.4

    wonder web server of the printer a network path (for example: \\mypc\sharedfolder) but I do not know how to translate my way above in the correct format.

    I tried the following:

    AFP://172.16.1.4//users/me/documents/scans/durable------Goods\ recipes

    but he doesn't like it.

    I also tried:

    Recipes of \\172.16.1.4\Users\bvz\Documents\scans\Durable of goods.

    Nothing helps.

    Thanks for any help or ideas!

    Hello

    First of all, make sure to install the latest firmware for the printer.

    SMBX (used by Lion sharing protocol) support added lately, and the device fails to access any forlder Lion shared with an older FW version:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c02919168

    You have shared the folder durable goods received ?

    If so, I guess the correct path would be as follows:

    \\172.16.1.4\Durable goods received

    Please let me know of any changes,

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600: White scan Pages of the feeder of the Officejet Pro 8600

    Trying to browse the food tray, scanner empty pages. Analysis on the flat. I tried to restart the laptop and printer also does to unplug for a minute.

    Hey @cornerstone1,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support!

    I see that your Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer is the digitization of the blank pages to your machine in Mac OS x 10.8. I can help you with that.

    First of all, make sure that the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet, not a surge protector. Once this is done, we will do a few things to refine the question. To do:

    1. Place a page with printed face down on the flat.
    2. Place a page with different print material face up in the ADF Document (CAD).
    3. Make a copy of the printed page.

    The next steps will depend on what is printed.

    If the printer made a copy of the page on the flat:

    The printer does not detect anything in the charger. Try to insert a blank sheet of 8.5 "X 11" or A4 paper and see if you hear a noise or identical to "document loaded Original" message. " If you have not the printer will need to be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking on this link and fill out the form below to discuss the options based on your warranty.

    If the printer did a Virgin copy:

    Take a blank sheet of paper, write a 1 on one side of the sheet and number 2 on the back side. Then insert the paper in the tray and make a copy. If you still see a blank page then the printer will have to be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking on this link and fill out the form below to discuss the options based on your warranty.

    If the printer made a copy of the page in the ADF:

    There is a problem with the drivers scanner on your Mac. To correct this:

    1. Unplug the USB cable from the printer, if it is connected to your Mac.
    2. Click Apple, system and print and Scan preferences.
    3. Hold down the CTRL key and click on the picture of the printer on the left.
    4. Click on reset printing system.
    5. Open Applications and your Hewlett-Packard folder.
    6. Launch the HP uninstaller.
    7. Open Applications, utilities and disk utilities.
    8. Click "Macintosh HD" on the left.
    9. Click on verify disk permissions. This should take about 10 minutes.
    10. Click on repair disk permissions. This should take about 10 minutes.
    11. Restart your Mac.
    12. Download and install the latest drivers by clicking on this link.

    At this point, you should be able to scan from the ADF.

    Please let me know if that solves your problems by clicking on accept Solution below my post or if you have any other questions. If not, have a great week!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 stopped scanning

    I have my 8600 Officejet Pro connected to my computer and use Windows 7. When I got the all-in-one, he scanned beautifully. Then one day he just stop scanning. I get an error when I try to scan which said"The HP 8600 Pro Ofifcejet not found. »

    I ran the HP Print & Scan Doctor half a dozen times and to halfway through, I still get the error message "The HP Officejet Pro 8600 was not found."

    On the HP Print & Scan doctor, when she leaves, I get a screen that verifies offshore:

    -Device Manager

    -Pilot Check

    -Device status

    -Windows (WIA) Scan

    And then I have a yellow triangle with an explaination in next to "HP Twain scanning" brand

    He has a box that says: "Please save your work and close all applications. Unplug it from your printer by pulling on the power cord from the printer. Plug it back, turn it back on, and then click "Restart the computer." Once the computer is restarted, run this utility again. "What I've done several times - it doesn't change ANYTHING. Still, I get "The HP Officejet Pro 8600 is not found" error box again...

    I would add also, I was able to print without missing a beat and I use a USB cable to connect the MFC to my PC as our wireless here at the office isn't bad.

    I would be very happy for any help and suggestions that someone has!

    Thank you!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 N911n scan to folder gives "system failure."

    We have an Officejet Pro 8600 N911n and we set it up to scan to folder, but it gives an error "system failure."  Rights have been given and file is shared with all the rights and even tried using the admin account and still the same error.  They had a different printer configuration a year or two there has been no problem.  Here is the screenshot of the error.

    I see that a FW update for the 8600 JO is available on the HP support site.    By chance, it is a point made in this update?    I tested a network folder today and it worked fine.   Have you tried other folders as well?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 Plus: Scan of the computer does not work with Win8.1 [solved: problem with USB3 Boost]

    Since I have installed 8.1 (pro), I can't use my 8600 software Pro for scanning the computer (via USB). It seems that there is no communication with the printer regarding the scanning software, but printing as usual.

    Tried to use the HP printer Assistant: when I click on the button "scan a Photo Document or", I get a message "inaccessible Scanner. Also restarted the printer.

    When I try to scan from Photoshop, the system first finds the printer, but it fails to connect.

    Update HP says that my system is up to date.

    HP Print and Scan Doctor 4.2 concludes and tells the printer on the welcome panel and seems to be able to communicate with him, up to a point.

    It gives me a error 'pilot' (sorry if is not called in English - he takes over my keyboard language, which is French and says "Pilot error") and says that no communication could be created between the printer and the driver for scanning, and I have to restart the computer...

    So I did and revived the software of the doctor, who gave me the same error message. This time, I clicked on 'Ignore' and let things. He ran a "Scan" Test twice and said that everything was going well or had been repaired. But strangely nothing on the printer during these 'tests '. And in the end, as he offered to do a scan test myself, I clicked on OK and I got the error message "inaccessible Scanner" again.

    Then I did my scans on a USB key, as I have done a few times already, and has gone very well. But I'd be happy to have this function "Scan to computer" back. How?

    Thanks in advance 23. It is resolved! See to the end.

    I use McAfee (All Access - Total Protection). All green. I did some research using 'Paint', 'Windows Fax' and 'Scan' and checked all the results using McAfee: 'does detect any items that require your attention.

    Here is a series of screenshots when you run printing HP and doctor Scan:

    I click on "Scanning troubleshooting..."

    I click on 'Ignore' right now because I know now that a restart will not help, but I have already tried (see my first post).

    It seems that the problems have been repaired. And if I click on 'Scan Test', it seems too good, initially...

    But if I go on and click on "Scan", bye bye:

    Everything is the same as the first time, as I remember.

    I checked services: dependencies are OK (RPC is in the WIA Service dependencies). Both services are "Running" and "automatic". I stopped and restarted WIA. No change.

    I launched a sfc/scannow:

    Before that, I changed the USB (a new one): no change.

    AND THEN: I unplugged the USB cable connecting the port (USB3) standard (directly on the rear panel of the motherboard) and plugged into a PCI USB3 card. And all was well with the scan.

    Do you think this says something about my motherboard (Asus X 79 Deluxe brand new) or on the Officejet?

  • OfficeJet Pro 8600 not scan or copy

    It is a 8600 almost new bought Pro last month.  To install, all functions perfectly worked and since the purchase, the printer ran less than a dozen pages of combined print and copy.

    This morning, I tried to copy a simple document and produced printed page was border - black, verticle, lines the length of the page.  In case of problem, I tried to scan a document to my computer with the same results.  I searched the web as a whole and this forum and have is went through each techinque troubleshooting I could find, including, resets hard, turned off for a period of time, try the different points of sale, double check the software version & the downloadable HP... diagnostic tool which none was successful.

    Common functions of printing not work normally either wireless or connected device.  Any function however, requiring the scanner lamp does NOT work and it seems to me the scanner bulb does not work.  I might mention that a call to HP support was pretty much a wasted effort, the 'tech' had a very thick accent and was almost impossible to understand and who have trouble grasping the question seemed.

    Additional troubleshooting suggestions would be welcome.  I bought the unit at Best Buy and I suspect that they exchanged it because it was so recent, but I am currently unable to walk and Exchange would be more than a little awkward.  I'd rather solve the problem if possible.  Thank you.

    To put closure on the original post, I finally determined that the problem has been a hardware failure after exhausting all troubleshooting techniques. I went to Best Buy, where I bought a month ago and they happily exchanged it. Set up replacement and initially at least, flawless.

  • HP officejet pro 8600 duplex scan

    How can I duplex scanner using the charger to top of the page?  Is there a driver or software, I need?  I bought this printer to use this feature.  As a teacher, I want to analyze all my books in my USB.

    Please help me!

    To tell you the 8600 don't scan two-sided on the base model, only on the most and the Premium version of the printer. But in addition, I don't know what you're looking for is possible. Duplex scanning function is reserved for the simple leaves, double-sided media - not for books. With books, the only method for the analysis of these images is through the flat bed scanner because it can't shoot an entire book through the ADF.

    I hope this solves your request!
