I have an Officejet PRO 8610. In the past, I used printer software for scanning and I was able to scan at 600dpi. But for a few months now, software seems to be overridden by HP Smart, and with HP Smart, highest scanning option is 300dpi. This is simply not enough for some of the docs I need to scan. How can I get back to the 600dpi I used to be able to scan .
is there a way to get back to the 600dpi scanning mode?
Thanks!

Please try HP Scan Extended using the following software
ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi
Once it's downloaded and installed, for Windows 10:
(a) Hit Win key,
(b) Scroll down to HP group/folder,
(c) Double click "HP Scan Extended"
You can put a shortcut on Taskbar or Desktop
Regards.
