Officejet 6700 scanning settings

OfficeJet 6700 Premium (Prod # CV078A) network (direct connection to the router). 1 = Win XP SP3 computer. computer 2 = WIN7 Pro SP1 32-bit;

A couple of questions about scanning. This printer has replaced an Officejet 6500 failure that has served me well for several years before suffering significant constipation of ink.

1 scanned files are much larger than those produced by my 6500. I adjusted the scanning parameters, including PDF (NOT available), B & W and size of file/quality under Advanced settings, the "smaller" value The file sizes are about 3 x what has been produced by using 6500 dpi (200). Any suggestions?

2 prerequisite software registered automatically scans as "Scan001", "Scan002", etc.. Current software requires to manually change the file name for each further analysis when scanning from the computer using the HP software. Is this correct feature? (If so, it is a step backwards.) See also 3 below. [Edit: point of Travis' 2 in response below deals with this issue - thanks!]

3. scan of the computer (from the printer front panel) saves the file 'Scan0001', 'Scan0002', etc.  This works as expected. Why is this not implemented when using 2 above? (Or am I missing?).

Thanks in advance for the answer and enlightenment.

OK - downloaded Free Edition Paperscan v.1.8.3 and used the TWAIN driver to get the image of my Officejet 6700 using the document feeder. Registered 1 page file to PDF with dpi set at 200. File size is 22K. (Now, that's more like it.) Oh, and the quality of the image will appear better, too. [Edit: but see message below re.] NAPS2]

Same document 1 page using the old HP scanning, recorded as a simple pdf software with 200 dpi setting results in a file size of 177 K! 22 K vs 177 K - same, I can do that math.

Conclusion: there is something seriously wrong [ineffective/sloppy code] with the HP scanning software. (and I don't think they care)

Recommendation: Fix it.

  • 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: scan to email

    Using Win 7 64 bit desktop with OfficeJet 6700.

    How can I scan directly to Thunderbird without having to analyze everything first and then attach it to an email?

    I'd rather not use (or want to) Windows Live Mail.

    Hi @mortn99,

    I noticed you're wondering how to scan to e-mail directly in Thunderbird, with your HP Officejet 6700 on Windows 7. I am pleased to see that for you!

    Scanning to e-mail software, will always use the email client that is configured by default. An option that may work is to set Thunderbird as default email client. Please see this article, make sure Thunderbird the default e-mail Client.

    Hope this is useful and thanks for posting!

  • Officejet 4500 scanning settings

    Windows 7, Officejet 4500, HP TouchSmart

    I'm confused on the scanning settings that show in the window menu / machine.  I tried to change by using the software and then get questioned about the naming and registration of shortcuts.  Where will I see shortcuts and what types of naming structure will be easy?

    This system is brand new and it takes me awhile to get used to.  The Officejet works well and I have not yet optimized settings.

    I wish I could choose and start the scanning of the console not the computer.

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Sylvia

    Setting up shortcuts will not appear on the printer in the HP software. This allows you to predefine the scanning options you want to use and then give it a name and create a shortcut on the left side of the screen. So when you want to scan multiple photos in a specific way instead of having to go through the configuration whenever you can simply click the shortcut that you created. What is the front panel of the printer is to select the settings every time you scan using the control panel of the printer.

  • OfficeJet 6700 scan enlarges doc in jpg format. Scan PDF is in black and white

    I have a new HP Officejet 6700. My operating system is Mac OS X v8.5.8.

    I went to scan a document as a jpg file and it scanned and was recorded in my computer (wireless).

    The problem is that all the documents have been enlarged during the process, therefore, only about 1/3 of the document is scanned. How can I reduce the scan so that the entire document (8 "x 10") is visible in the scanned jpg?

    Also note that this enlargement is not the case when recording in pdf format, but the analysis is the only black and white, not the color of my document was. The scan jpg, although enlarged, was at least in color. Help! THX.

  • 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.

    Recently noticed that the characteristics and the scanning process have changed in my Officject 6700 Premium. The only way I can access scan now is by going to devices and printers in the Control Panel, right click on the printer icon and select Start Analysis. Not a problem for scan unless I want to scan a document in PDF format, which one is not an option for that anywhere. In the new scan dialog, if I select Documents in the profile, my only File Type options are image - jpg, png, bmp and tif files. There seems to be whatever for a PDF, or he is hiding it well.

  • OfficeJet 6700: ADF works only when you scan not copy

    Our officejet 6700 has an irrational problem - will take the ADF and scanning a document using the pc without problem, but if load you something using the function copy on the machine itself, he acknowledges that he is a responsible original, you hit copy and is not feeding the sheet through and copy from scratch!

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello @edtech,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I see that you are not able to use the ADF on your HP Officejet 6700 Premium to make Copies, but you can use it to perform a scan.

    I would like you to do a hard reset:

    1. disconnect all cables and cards of memory in the printer. Unplug the power cord, directly from the back of the printer when the printer is still on.

    2. unplug the other end of the power cord.

    3. If there is a power supply on the power cord, disconnect one end and reconnect it.

    4. at the end of 60 seconds, plug it directly into a wall outlet (not a surge protector or battery backup because they can cause the printer to lose over time basic functionality).

    5. connect the power cord to the back of the printer.

    6. the printer should automatically power back upward. If not, turn it on with the power button.

    7. try to make a photocopy (if your printer is a printer all in one) before you connect the cables from the printer.

    8. connect the other cables needed to the printer.

    Are now able to make a copy using the ADF? If you are still unable to make a copy, you will need to contact our technical support at www.hp.com/contacthp/.
