OfficeJet pro 8500: is my officejet pro 8500 store all scanned or copied information

My Officejet pro 8500 dead.  Are there personal information stored in the printer I need to erase or destroy before recycling the machine?

@No3putt, welcome to the Forums of HP,

The printer may have stored recent incoming faxes in memory. You can restore the printer back to factory settings to delete all information.

  • Select the configuration Menu, tools, restore the settings by default, Yes.

That should erase any information that you entered in the unit and you should be good to recycle!

I hope this information helps you! If you want to thank me for my answer today, click on the below!

  • OfficeJet Pro 8500 first stopped scanning

    My Officejet Pro 8500 has stopped scanning.  The message window says it is not connected to the network.

    I changed my DSL provided by the local cable company to ATT U verse a few months ago, but the problem does not seem to be related to this change.  I say this because when I ran the diagnostics, the printed page says that my problem is "the wireless radio does not work. Contact HP support. »

    HP support offered advice tech for $29) warranty, or sell me a new all-in-one.

    The wireless radio can be fixed? Is it a software problem.  I have to buy a new all-in-one?

    Hello JessicaD,

    I see that you have a problem with the wireless radio fails on your Officejet 8500. To inform you in this regard, if the radio has failed, it is not a replaceable part by customer, but I'll try to help you with the problem.

    Start as a result of this document: printer does not maintain the wireless connection.
    With this document, I would like to track:
    (1) restore your default settings of network on the printer.
    Go to setup (can be a wrench), network, and then restore the default settings of the network. After that the power on the printer.

    (2) turn off the wireless radio.
    Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio, you must have the option to turn it off.

    (3) hard reset of the printer.
    While the printer power cable for 30 seconds, while the cable is unplugged, press and hold the power button for 15 seconds. It's draining the printer of all power. Reconnect the cable.

    (4) turn on the wireless radio and reconnect.
    Go to Configuration > network > wireless radio - on. Then, go to Configuration > network > wireless are running the configuration wizard.

    If it was not successful in entering you connected to the network and or print wireless. You still have another option with the printer to try before replacing.
    If you have an Ethernet cable, you can set a wired network connection. Plug the Ethernet (cat5 cable) cable into the printer and the router. It will be assigned the printer a new IP, which means that you will need to add the printer to the computer. This will still allow the printer on the network and communicate with a wireless device.

    Please try all above and I would like to know how everything goes. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums.

    OfficeJet 8500 a 910 scan does not work with my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  I tried to reload of apple and HP.  My drivers and software are up to date.  I tried to scan from preview, Capture and print browser.

    It worked finally.

    Why doesn't HP have updated the drivers for a Macbook Pro 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?  I couldn't find one for 10.5 or 10.6 Leopard.  I tried everything I could find. I found a note on the edge of Disussion which suggested someone try a driver for another HP printer may be similar.  I found if I used the full program for Macbook Pro 10.6 Leopard I could scan.  The fax appeared to be installed via blue tooth.  I have not faxed anything, but it has been tested during the installation of the program.  Complete program of the HP I can't print.  I loaded via Apple an another whick of printer HP Officejet 8500 A910 allows me to print.  It is the only way that I could make use of my HP printer, scanner and fax.  Crazy, but I think it works and I can put some scans and, hopefully, fax to my Macbook Pro.  I appreciate the help.  Please encourage the HP programs and drivers for my Macbook Pro Snow Leopard 10.6.8.

  • Printing DCP color red problem - HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All - in - One Printer, the 4th copy

    I have a HP HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all-in-One Printer and try to print 75 copies of a program for our event. After the first 5-6 pages the RED in my program starts to turn magenta. I have new HP ink cartridges and print on HP Color Injet paper. I have renectly replaced the Black/Yellow Printhead (at least 6 months ago). At the beginning when I cleaned the printheads, I was able to print 2 or 3 pages showing my color RED. Then back to magenta. When I received the images of test after you have cleaned the print heads, they are all perfect, no lines.

    What happens and how can I solve this problem?

    Hi TM1997,

    Thanks for the reply!

    Given that the printer seems to work for a bit and then comes back to the same question, it must be a problem with the printhead (Cyan/Magenta one) or the ink lines that go from the cartridges to print heads. First of all, I would suggest that you check the warranty date on your printhead C/M. If it is under warranty contact HP Technical Support in your area and inquire about a replacement, but if not, it's you if you want to replace the print head, printer service, or look into an upgrade.

    Have a great weekend!

  • Single line vertical when using the ADF to Scan or copy on HP Officejet Pro 8600

    Printer HP Officejet Pro 8600 Premium (CN577A)

    OS: MS 7 64-bit

    When you use the ADF for my printer HP CN577A Officejet Pro 8600 Premium, I get a single vertical line on the document which is produced. This occurs when copying or scanning, both black and white and in color. If I scan or copy using the glass, I do not get the vertical line.

    I already tried troubleshooting.  I unplugged the printer, left without electricity for several minutes; that didn't fix the problem.  Then, I cleaned the rollers and glass; I always get the vertical line, but only when using the ADF.

    My firmware version is up to date (CLP1CN1150CR).

    What should I check next?

    The only difference between the ADF and scanning flat, from a point of view of the scanner is there on the glass, it happens.  I suggest you get a bright flashlight and examine the corresponsing area hence is the line, it's almost certainly a spot on the strip of thin glass which is being just in the right place.

    I've seen some people suggest that put a flashlight almost parallel to the Strip, it shines from the bottom can highlight the area problem.

  • OfficeJet Pro 8630: Officejet Pro 8630 don't Scan to Email after move to new office

    We have recently moved offices and now we can not Scan to e-mail at work (he has worked great previously).

    We are on a wireless network at the office and I can print fine, but no scan to E-mail.

    I tried the settings via the web interface, I rebooted the router and the printer, I deleted all the accounts on the web interface and created a new, but it won't always work.

    Help?

    Hey @KBoyett,

    Welcome to the Forum from HP Support.  I understand that you are unable to reconnect the scanning to e-mail, using your HP Officejet Pro 8630 e-all-in-one printer.  I would like to help.  I have a few steps, you can try that may fix this problem.

    It is optimal that you have a wireless connection.  I do not recommend restoring the default settings of your printer to make sure that all old settings scan to e-mail are deleted from the printer.  Here's how:

    • From the front of your printer, press Setup
    • Touch Tools
    • Press restore defaults

    This will clear your wireless network, Web services, and other custom printer settings.

    Then, follow these steps:

    • Connect to your wireless network (run Setup under wireless settings wireless Assistant)
    • Tap the copy icon on the lower left below to enable Web services
    • If your webservices are enabled you can now configure your scan to e-mail

    There are two ways to Setup scan to e-mail:

    Method: use the scan to e-mail Wizard to set up scan to email

    Follow these steps to use scanning to e-mail Wizard in the HP software to set up the Email scanning function.
  • HP Officejet Pro 8620: OCR without scan

    I really like the feature "scan to OCR. This works remarkably well.

    Is there a way to take an existing PDF and get the OCR function withiut analyzes the PDF file?

    Thank you.

    Hi @RCP45,

    Thanks for joining the Forums of HP Support with your request.

    I understand that you use a HP Officejet Pro 8620 e-all-in-one printer with a Windows 10 PC, and you have a PDF file that you want to change without having to scan him. I would like to help with that.

    You're right, the "scan to OCR" can come in handy. There is no way to use the OCR software that comes with the printer software. If you are wanting to edit a PDF file without it first scans, there are third party software available that can help. Adobe Acrobat DC is a program that will edit the PDF option.

    I also found that you can edit PDF files in Word format if you are using MS Office 2013 or 2016. Here is a support for MS Office document that can help with this - Edit PDF content in Word.

    Please let me know if that solves the problem, or if you need assistance.

  • cant WiFi connection HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer to internet

    I can't get WiFi HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer connect to internet... at least I think that's the problem. I followed all the instructions on the HP print and Scan doctor as well as solve problems of failure to install HP. My router is working fine for everything else and I entered the router the static address for the printer.  It seems that my printer thinks it's connected to my WiFi (Ihave WPS it several times), but when I type there nothing appears in my IE IP address. My router does not see the printer either. I have the latest driver installed on my computer. I suspect that this may be a router problem: new Asus Double 450 Mbps N Router router (dual - band, but it appears my router uses the 2.4 Hz band to connect with WPS). Windows 7 64.
