Hp 8600 scanner work very slow

[NachumShmilo]

Hi
I own the HP Officejet Pro 8600 for quite few year

The printer work OK 

One thing that driving me crazy is that any scan of page take agaes (about a minute)

When i just copy it to a paper it work fast 

I am using 600 PPI as the scan resolution, scan to colorfull lpg 

It ws not like that when i purchase the printer

Thx

Hi,

Approximately a minute for a 600 dpi scan is expected, scanning in such resolution will take about that time for a page to process the scanner data and create a more quality photo file.

Please open the HP Officejet Pro 8600 software and click on Scan a Document or Photo, then select Save as JPEG,

From the left pane click Restore Defaults and then scan with the standard scan settings

How long does it take with its standard settings and a 200 DPI resolution?

Next, set the resolution as 600 DPI and scan again, how long does it take?

Please see the specs below, I would assume you scan photos with such resolution and a such have quite a lot of data:

Scan speed colour (4x6 photo): < 10 se

4x6 is a quarter of A4, so a full A4 Photo should take approx. up to 40 seconds - that is with a standard resolution of 200 DPI

Hi 
You are correct 
300 DPI is scanning in more reasonable time
I assume more modern printer is doing even 600 DPI much faster

Thx
