OfficeJet 6700: Scanner is tempremental

Hello!

My printer came with a message of failure of scan yesterday and I followed several steps I found here to fix it. Now, something strange happened.

I can print on a sheet of paper. I can then copy this piece of paper in the ADF or flat on the scanner glass and it works very well. However, when I try to copy a page of a book (which is what I was trying to do when it all began!) I still get the failure message from scanner and printer everything should be restarted.

Does anyone have any ideas about what can go wrong please? It doesn't make sense to copy pieces of paper, but not a page of a book.

Thanks in advance

Hi @sun_in_aries,

Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you have problems with scanning from a book, but you can scan a piece of paper. I will definitely do my best to help you. If this helps you to find a solution, please click on the button "Accept as Solution" down below in this message. If you want to say thanks for my effort to help, click on the 'Thumbs Up' to give me a Kudos.

I would like to do a hard reset to see if that will solve the problem.
Let the printer and disconnect the printer cable and the wall socket for 60 seconds.
Reconnect the power cable to the output of the printer and the wall, and not a surge protector.
This ensures that the printer is full on and can help this situation.

I would say for updating the firmware of the printer, OJ6700_R1450A.exe.

Please let me know the result and if there is anything else I can help you. Thank you.

  • OfficeJet 6700: Officejet 6700 Scanner glass Question Test

    Hello

    Yesterday, I printed a printer status report for my Officejet 6700 and noticed an entry for Scanner glass Test.  It is based on parameters of scanning.  I looked at the User Guide and have not found anything for a Test of the Scanner glass.  What is this test and when I would go there?  Also, how I would she?

    Gary

    Hi there @garyg45 , I hope you're well!

    I saw your post about how you noticed the entry for a "Test of the Scanner Glass" on the State printer however, not found information on the glass of the scanner Test in the user manual. The reason is that the Test of the Scanner glass is used by our service departments and you don't need to worry at all with a glass of the Scanner test. If the copies are to work successfully, the printer itself is fine!

    If there is a problem you are having, feel free to let me know the details and I will do my best to help you with the problem.

    Have a great Tuesday!

  • HP Officejet 6700 Scanner does not appear in Win 10 Aps

    Installed Win 10. Had to uninstall and reinstall HP 6700 JO to get scanner to work. Howecer, scanner does not appear in all Aps (Start menu). The only way I found to scan is to right click on the HP Officejet 6700, and then click Run as administrator. Which takes me to the HP printer Assistant I can open the scan dialog box.

    How to scan to show in all the Aps?

    Thank you

    Hi @SideSaddle

    have you tried this

    Navigate to C:\Program Files (x 86) \HP\HP Officejet 6700\bin

    Right click on hpscan.exe and click on "Pin to Start", now you should be able to run the scan directly.

    hope this helps

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium: after Windows 10 Upgrade on Officejet 6700 scanning does not work anymore - can not find scanner

    Hello

    Having finally decided to take the plunge to upgrade to Windows 10, I discovered that my Officejet 6700 Premium previously peripheral work will scan is no longer.

    My connection to the device is via a wired connection with a static IP address on the printer. It all worked perfectly under Windows 7, but now, I can only print to the printer to win 10.

    I tried to uninstall the previously working software (under Win 7) and downloaded the latest version of the HP (OJ6700_1315 - 1.exe) software, which BTW is not a patch on the previous software that I'm used to using - but it did not help. Still no joy with the scanning feature.

    I tried to uninstall all software, so I tried to launch the Wizard installation HP which seemed to re - install the last set of software (as above) with the same results - I can print it, but if I try to scan using the Officejet 6700 App it appears a dialog box saying "inaccessible Scanner. Scanner communication cannot be established. Make sure that your product is powered, check the connection and esnure that your network runs correctly. ...".  Amazing result given that the application displays all levels of printer ink, and I can print - every time!

    I tried disabling the firewall - no difference, still do not see the scanner.

    Tried using other windows applications; Paint, etc. - no joy.

    I also tried the "HP Print Scan doctor and" nothing does - even, he gives up and says to contact HP support, with no details about what to tell them!

    I hope someone else out there could have had the same problem and found a way to make it work?

    Thank you!

    Ok

    In case anyone is interested, I bit the bullet and did a new install of Windows 10 on a formatted drive. I then installed the same software that I had tried on the "upgrade to Windows 7" windows, 10, and everything works as expected.

    Therefore, there is definitely something wrong with the upgrade process, and the removal of the HP scanning software & resettlement never did his job correctly.

    I look closely at the list of DLLs etc., charged by the printing software, but could not detect anything immediate.

    Then, certainly in my case, a new facility was to solve this problem.

    See you soon,.

  • OfficeJet 6700: Attaching the scanner?

    Hello

    How the scanner cover placed on an OfficeJet 6700? The lid seems set in a Grove with a couple of languages that go into the slots when the lid is on the printer as it should be, but if I lift the lid to put a document on the scanner lid slide because it is not attached to the printer with hinges.

    4. Select utility

    5. under the scan settings section, select scan to computer

    6. in the lower right corner, select Edit analysis jobs

    7. Save to the Pdf format (documents) or Jpeg (pictures) - whichever you prefer

    A short history:

    After spending 4 hours and countless computers, printer, router restarts, channel changes etc, on the phone with HP printer support, to solve this problem, I was called back to my firewall provider (Trend Micro) when the product is disables scan works. (Yes, it's the same question that I started.)  As you can imagine made me unhappy...? Since I had already made contact with them for advice on how to configure the product before posting here in the first place and, possibly, appellant assistance from the printer.

    The solution was finally trend had me to rename a file in the registry, which, I presume, caused the trend product regenerate a clean version of the file.  As trend firewall exceptions had already been saved, scan over wireless works now! I post the location of the file and registry name, unless you use the identical product etc. to modify your registry database is scary business.

    Naturally, because it was just going to be like that, scan network worked, but then the network printer showed offline and I couldn't online despite shooters evil etc.  In the end today I completely uninstalled the product and the resinstalled it and now everything works.  Hard to be too crazy about HP, when, notwithstanding this saga, HP was right to send back me the vendor of the firewall... everyone gets their turn in the barrel of the dysfunction of the technology, and it was mine.

    What a striped set incredibly complicated of technologies that we depend on.  Travis, thanks for your help and trying on it.

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one software limited scanning or it can be used via Photoshop?

    Hello...

    I use the HP Officejet 6700 Premium e-all-in-one Prod # CV078A on a Macintosh OS 10.6.8 macbook Pro (2.8 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo - 4 GB of DDR3 RAM).

    I try to run for the first time since that I recently bought this machine, and I'm running into some problems of quality. Digitization of works very well once I thought I had to use the utility software of HP scanning rather than access the scanner by Photoshop as I always had done before with my HP's Photosmart 2600 (I had for 5 years and more).

    The scanner HP scanning software (HP Scan v3.7.9 (59)) seems very limited.

    My questions are:

    • Is there a way to browse from Photoshop (or CS3, 4, 5 or 5.5) TWAIN instead of use the HP scanning software?

    • It is there no quality of analysis options other than a few easy turns, cultures and the very limited color correction, as well as certain preferences that allow adjustments to size/dpi of glass. What about scanning at larger percentages, Descreening and some more detailed agjustment image options?

    Thanks in advance.

    You are welcome

    As a general rule, the latest HP Scan 3 of the other less editing software options than previous versions of HP software.

    You can set the color settings by clicking the setting icon (). Cropping or rotating of the analysis can be done, but there is no option of resizing by the software.

    All image editing must be done with any photo editing software.

    Kind regards

  • OfficeJet 6700 Premium: cartridges of OEM 933

    I was told that this printer is perfect for printing low volumn.

    I'm on my third set of ink cartridges, including the black cartridges scence XL that I print almost exclusively in black.

    I get about twenty pages until the cartridges need to be replaced.

    It is a joke.

    HP Announces hundreds of pages, but you get to price a little and then another ink cartridge. He used ink color, even when printing in black only.

    I pay almost $1 per page, with this cartridge.

    It becomes cheaper to buy the printer to price low and throw it away when the ink dries.

    Hi @katsus98040

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.    I understand that you can't print from your printer Officejet 6700.

    I assume you see the exclamation icon is in your connected HP account.  Connected HP sometimes gives a false report that there is a problem not specified with the printer. HP has been able to reproduce the error.  If there was a genuine mistake, the message would point to the problem (low on ink, paper, etc). Unspecified error message does not prevent you to use ePrint.
