need to scan color documents on HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 plus

[56Jake56]

I want to scan documents with color, other than black and white. I cannot locate "settings" to change from scanning in only black and white to color. Thanks

Hi @56Jake56,

I'd like to help!

Change settings in HP Scan before you complete a scan job.

1. Scan Shortcuts

2. Show Viewer After Scan check box

3. Source options

4. Scan settings

5. More

1. Select a Scan Shortcut, such as Save as PDF or Email as JPEG.

   NOTE: 

   To save or email a multi-page scan as a single file, select a PDF option. Multi-page JPEG scans save as separate files.

2. Select the Show Viewer After Scan check box.

3. If your printer has both a document feeder and scanner glass, select Flatbed under Source.

4. Make sure the other settings such as Page Size and Color Mode are correct for your scan job.

5. Click More to change advanced settings, such as Resolution (ppi), Orientation, Destination, and File Name.
