I noticed that my HP Officejet Pro 8610 has a "VFS" file type in my HPSCANS folder.  How can I open/preview that file?  Thanks in advance for whatever help you can provide.

Hi @G216,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

 

 

A .VFS file is on the memory card that is inserted into the All-in-One.

NOTE:

This file is rewritten each time the card is inserted into the All-in-One.

Solution

The All-in-One allocates 2% of the memory card capacity for thumbnails in the form of a .VFS file to make browsing faster.

By default, the faster browsing option is set to on. This creates the .VFS file.

To turn this feature off and eliminate the .VFS file, follow these steps:

Press Setup.

Use the down arrow key to select Preferences.

Press OK.

Use the down arrow key to select Enable Faster Browsing.

Press OK.

Select OFF.

Press OK.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
