HP Officejet Scanning issue

[Buccosfan]

I'm trying to scan a series of handwritten letters that totals around 300 pages.  I assumed that at some point the file would become too large so I continued to save my work.  I'd do twenty pages then save.  Twenty pages and then save again (over my original save).  I finally reached the point where the file became too big (after 100 pages).  However, when I went to retrieve the last saved version, it was no longer in my folder.  Is there anyway to retrieve?

This is a great location to get assistance! I read your post and see that you are getting issues while scanning from HP Officejet  8600 printer. I would like to help you resolve this issue. 

However, I will need a few details to provide an accurate solution,

• How is the printer connected to the computer,(USB or wireless) ?
• When did this issue start?
• Did you do any hardware or software changes recently?

Meanwhile:

Reset the printer.

• Remove the power cable from the printer when it is turned on.
• Press and hold the power button for 60secs.
• Connect the power cable directly to the wall outlet and printer.

Update the printer driver and firmware.

• Click here to download the software from HP website.

Let me know how it goes.

Cheers.
