How to scan from your Hewlett Packard Officejet printer to your personal computer you ask?. If you have not done so already, please install the Hewlett Packard Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver from your Hewlett Packard installation compact disc. If you are missing that software you can download and install HP officejet software.
Once that software is successfully installed, you can follow the instructions to scan documents to your computer. You will want to use the following steps if your device is directly connected to your computer via a Universal Serial Bus cable. When that scan session is complete, the program that you have selected opens and displays that document that you have scanned.
To send a scan to a program on a computer from Hewlett Packard photo and imaging software:
On your computer, open Hewlett Packard photo and imaging software. To send a scan to a program on a computer from your Hewlett Packard Officejet printer device control panel:
Load an original on the scanner glass. Then press the “Scan Menu” or “Scan To” button. Now press the arrow keys to select a program that you want to use, such as Hewlett Packard photo and imaging software.
Then press “OK”. Now press “START SCAN”. These instructions were written for a Hewlett Packard Officejet J6480 printer attached to a computer with Microsoft Windows XP operating system installed.

this under PC hardware installation as
0:00:20.160,0:00:24.449
you can see and then because of SEO that
0:00:22.890,0:00:27.720

0:00:47.640,0:00:54.180
Officejet software this was specifically
0:00:50.070,0:00:56.010
written for an office jet J 6480 I had a
0:00:54.180,0:01:01.680
client that wanted to know how to scan
0:00:56.010,0:01:03.660
and I wrote these instructions I sent to
0:01:01.680,0:01:06.659
them over the Internet it fixed their
0:01:03.660,0:01:08.880
issue or helped solve their problem or
0:01:06.659,0:01:12.380
they were then able to scan so then I
0:01:08.880,0:01:14.930
decided to write this into up as a
0:01:12.380,0:01:17.850
virtual abstract blog post but
0:01:14.930,0:01:20.430
continuing on so I’ve already have this
0:01:17.850,0:01:22.229
open this link and then these are the
0:01:20.430,0:01:24.299
instructions but I wanted to go over the

0:01:29.640,0:01:34.200
don’t get paid by HP to talk about their
0:01:31.560,0:01:36.689
products I just if I’m able to help
0:01:34.200,0:01:39.740

the this specific download as you can
0:01:42.869,0:01:52.020
see is quite big 246 megabytes and the
0:01:47.820,0:01:54.509
file name this was probably for the J 64
0:01:52.020,0:01:58.229
series of HP Officejet so if you have a
0:01:54.509,0:02:01.079
J 64 series these instructions will help
0:01:58.229,0:02:06.110
you install software drivers and then
0:02:01.079,0:02:08.780
learn how to scan so as you can see this
0:02:06.110,0:02:13.709

0:02:22.110,0:02:26.760
drivers and then we’ll go to the how to
0:02:25.200,0:02:29.400
install if you are using Internet
0:02:26.760,0:02:32.280
Explorer you number one click the

I’m not using Internet Explorer so I
0:02:42.270,0:02:45.060

0:02:52.500,0:02:56.070
number two when a new pop-up window

appears click on the Run button if
0:02:56.070,0:03:00.959
you’re using Internet Explorer that you
0:02:57.690,0:03:03.750
will give be given that option a run or
0:03:00.959,0:03:06.360
save as make sure the printer is not
0:03:03.750,0:03:08.100
connected this is very important you do
0:03:06.360,0:03:10.770
not want to connect your Officejet
0:03:08.100,0:03:13.140
before you install drivers what can app
0:03:10.770,0:03:16.730
what happens is that or can is if you
0:03:13.140,0:03:19.830
have Windows updates enabled your
0:03:16.730,0:03:22.650
Windows computer is going to see that
0:03:19.830,0:03:24.060
you and hooked up a an office chat and
0:03:22.650,0:03:27.090
then it’s going to get all excited and
0:03:24.060,0:03:30.450
it’s going to want to install drivers no
0:03:27.090,0:03:33.120
bueno muy mall no good your then you
0:03:30.450,0:03:34.950
think oh oh I’ve got Microsoft drivers
0:03:33.120,0:03:37.170
all I’m going to scan scan scan scan
0:03:34.950,0:03:40.980
away I’ve got 5,000 photos I’m going to
0:03:37.170,0:03:44.130
scan tonight wrong a lot of times with
0:03:40.980,0:03:46.799
printers and scanners you have to
0:03:44.130,0:03:48.709
install the software and drivers first
0:03:46.799,0:03:55.700
and then you connect the scanner or
0:03:48.709,0:03:58.920
sometimes you’ll install printer scanner
0:03:55.700,0:04:01.290
software and about midway or it’ll
0:03:58.920,0:04:03.030
prompt you sometimes it’ll prompt you so
0:04:01.290,0:04:06.299
you have to pay attention sometime mid
0:04:03.030,0:04:09.930
installation it’ll ask you oh please now
0:04:06.299,0:04:12.590
hook up your device so that’s very
0:04:09.930,0:04:15.959
important so make sure you do not
0:04:12.590,0:04:20.310
connect your Officejet 6400 or any
0:04:15.959,0:04:22.740
Officejet to the computer before running
0:04:20.310,0:04:24.510
this installation depending on your
0:04:22.740,0:04:27.720
connection speed yes it can take some
0:04:24.510,0:04:29.590
time because it’s 246 megabytes
0:04:27.720,0:04:30.879
depending on what kind of internet
0:04:29.590,0:04:36.759
connection you have might take you a
0:04:30.879,0:04:39.759
while number three if and quote user
0:04:36.759,0:04:41.830
account control unquote pop-up windows
0:04:39.759,0:04:46.180
appears click the continue button that
0:04:41.830,0:04:49.300
will be on Vista seven or eight UAC that
0:04:46.180,0:04:51.580
wasn’t functional with Windows XP if
0:04:49.300,0:04:52.870
you’re using Windows XP you should not
0:04:51.580,0:04:56.199
receive that UAC
0:04:52.870,0:04:59.169
Vista 7 8 you might see that pop up just
0:04:56.199,0:05:01.680
click on continue the file is compressed
0:04:59.169,0:05:04.690
and may take time to extract and run and
0:05:01.680,0:05:06.610
it’s a pretty big file number for follow
0:05:04.690,0:05:08.440
the rest of the on-screen instructions
0:05:06.610,0:05:10.719
if you’re using Firefox a little bit
0:05:08.440,0:05:15.159
different but similar click the download
0:05:10.719,0:05:17.259
only button up here and then number 2
0:05:15.159,0:05:20.680
when a new pop-up window appears click
0:05:17.259,0:05:22.330
on the save file button depending on
0:05:20.680,0:05:24.279
your connection speed the file will take
0:05:22.330,0:05:26.169
some time to transfer it’s about 246
0:05:24.279,0:05:27.669
megabytes so depending on what kind of
0:05:26.169,0:05:30.969
internet connection it can take a long
0:05:27.669,0:05:32.110
time or if you have broadband it might
0:05:30.969,0:05:33.879
not take you that long at all
0:05:32.110,0:05:36.279
number 3 when the download completes
0:05:33.879,0:05:38.889
double click the most recent file to
0:05:36.279,0:05:40.419
start the software installation so
0:05:38.889,0:05:42.669
you’re going to have to go and look for
0:05:40.419,0:05:44.050
it it could be in your downloads or what
0:05:42.669,0:05:46.360
I like to do is just save it to my
0:05:44.050,0:05:51.699
desktop but that’s preference it’s up to
0:05:46.360,0:05:55.120
you where you save it but once again do
0:05:51.699,0:05:59.770
not connect the printer before running
0:05:55.120,0:06:01.930
that installation file number 4 if an
0:05:59.770,0:06:03.969
open executable file pop-up window
0:06:01.930,0:06:08.139
appears click the ok button number 5
0:06:03.969,0:06:10.900
again if a UAC user a contract account
0:06:08.139,0:06:14.080
control pop-up window appears click the
0:06:10.900,0:06:16.000
continue button on XP and Vista
0:06:14.080,0:06:20.050
well xp you shouldn’t see that message
0:06:16.000,0:06:25.569
Vista yeah 7 yes 8 yes maybe you might
0:06:20.050,0:06:27.520
see it on Vista 7 & 8 again the files
0:06:25.569,0:06:29.830
compressed may take a while for it to
0:06:27.520,0:06:32.169
run and extract number 6 follow the
0:06:29.830,0:06:35.919
on-screen instructions I think why they
0:06:32.169,0:06:38.830
are warning you about UAC user account
0:06:35.919,0:06:41.479
control is because these instructions
0:06:38.830,0:06:44.599
were for Windows 7 because that software
0:06:41.479,0:06:49.249
is compatible with windows 7 I’m
0:06:44.599,0:06:51.889
thinking that this scan or office jet 64
0:06:49.249,0:06:55.580
80 was created around the time that
0:06:51.889,0:06:59.180
obviously when Windows 7 was sold was
0:06:55.580,0:07:01.729
already being sold and on people’s
0:06:59.180,0:07:03.740
computers and sold with computers etc
0:07:01.729,0:07:05.479
you could try you could still try to
0:07:03.740,0:07:08.719
download the software and try to run it
0:07:05.479,0:07:10.099
on Windows XP Windows Vista I’m not I
0:07:08.719,0:07:11.990
don’t know I just don’t know if they
0:07:10.099,0:07:13.849
have backwards compatibility it’s it
0:07:11.990,0:07:17.360
doesn’t say here but you could try it
0:07:13.849,0:07:19.069
windows 8 it should work on Vista and XP
0:07:17.360,0:07:21.159
you might have to run it in
0:07:19.069,0:07:23.990
compatibility mode if you’re not
0:07:21.159,0:07:26.150
familiar with compatibility mode I’ve
0:07:23.990,0:07:28.310
talked about it in in previous videos
0:07:26.150,0:07:30.289
but that’s a whole different that’s a
0:07:28.310,0:07:32.569
whole video in itself if you’re not
0:07:30.289,0:07:36.020
familiar you could do a Google search
0:07:32.569,0:07:39.319
for compatibility mode or how to install
0:07:36.020,0:07:41.800
software in compatibility mode how to
0:07:39.319,0:07:45.129
install drivers in compatibility mode I
0:07:41.800,0:07:48.889
recommend you install the software using
0:07:45.129,0:07:50.620
Windows XP s and vistas compatibility
0:07:48.889,0:07:52.819
wizard
0:07:50.620,0:07:56.300
well Windows at well wait a minute
0:07:52.819,0:07:59.899
Windows XP and I don’t think they had
0:07:56.300,0:08:03.169
compatibility mode wizard but definitely
0:07:59.899,0:08:06.349
Vista because I think it’s better that
0:08:03.169,0:08:08.569
way otherwise what happens is you’ll end
0:08:06.349,0:08:11.959
up installing that software on XP or
0:08:08.569,0:08:14.479
Vista and then it won’t work but if
0:08:11.959,0:08:17.680
you’re not aware of compatibility mode
0:08:14.479,0:08:20.389
then you would have to go to the program
0:08:17.680,0:08:22.370
shortcut a shortcut to the actual
0:08:20.389,0:08:24.800
executable right click it select
0:08:22.370,0:08:27.409
properties click on a compatibility tab
0:08:24.800,0:08:31.490
and then select in that drop-down list
0:08:27.409,0:08:33.500
which version of Windows to run in
0:08:31.490,0:08:37.669
compatibility mode hence that term
0:08:33.500,0:08:40.639
compatibility so if you’re running Vista
0:08:37.669,0:08:42.560
you want to select Vista or Vista
0:08:40.639,0:08:44.779
Service Pack 1 might be on that list or
0:08:42.560,0:08:49.370
Vista Service Pack 2 if you’re running
0:08:44.779,0:08:50.750
XP you want to run it with XP mode but
0:08:49.370,0:08:53.569
there might be different modes there
0:08:50.750,0:08:54.740
might be just XP there might be xp
0:08:53.569,0:08:57.770
service pack 1
0:08:54.740,0:08:59.510
XP service pack 2 XP service pack 3 and
0:08:57.770,0:09:03.020
you might have to try all of them until
0:08:59.510,0:09:05.630
you find one that works so that’s a just
0:09:03.020,0:09:06.620
a caveat if you’re running Windows 7 I
0:09:05.630,0:09:08.839
don’t think you shouldn’t have any
0:09:06.620,0:09:11.630
problems about compatibility mode no
0:09:08.839,0:09:14.330
windows 8 I don’t see why it wouldn’t
0:09:11.630,0:09:22.520
work you bet you might have to use
0:09:14.330,0:09:24.370
compatibility mode and then system
0:09:22.520,0:09:26.330
requirements it doesn’t have any
0:09:24.370,0:09:30.110
information so let’s go back to this
0:09:26.330,0:09:32.630
blog post once that software is
0:09:30.110,0:09:35.089
successfully installed you just breathe
0:09:32.630,0:09:37.490
a sigh of relief you’re not sweating
0:09:35.089,0:09:40.520
anymore you downloaded the file whatever
0:09:37.490,0:09:42.950
you had the installation CD no errors
0:09:40.520,0:09:45.350
you did not hook up the printer first
0:09:42.950,0:09:47.120
you install the software first and then
0:09:45.350,0:09:50.660
when it prompted to you you hooked up
0:09:47.120,0:09:52.160
the officejet or at when the software
0:09:50.660,0:09:53.990
installed you hooked up the printer and
0:09:52.160,0:09:56.980
you actually were able to print to it
0:09:53.990,0:09:59.839
well this the rest of this will
0:09:56.980,0:10:02.089
hopefully will show you how to scan you
0:09:59.839,0:10:04.250
can follow instructions to scan
0:10:02.089,0:10:05.959
documents to your computer use some
0:10:04.250,0:10:08.260
following steps of your devices directly
0:10:05.959,0:10:11.270
connected to a computer via a USB
0:10:08.260,0:10:13.820
Universal Serial bus cable when that
0:10:11.270,0:10:15.440
scan is complete a program that you have
0:10:13.820,0:10:19.310
selected opens and displays that
0:10:15.440,0:10:23.149
document that you have scanned to send a
0:10:19.310,0:10:29.810
scan to a program on a computer from HP
0:10:23.149,0:10:33.130
photo and imaging software so HP photo
0:10:29.810,0:10:33.130
and imaging software
0:10:35.880,0:10:44.639
so the this is basically you’re going to
0:10:39.329,0:10:47.009
go to the scanner and then scan and then
0:10:44.639,0:10:48.180
it’ll trigger the software on your
0:10:47.009,0:10:50.730
computer
0:10:48.180,0:10:53.190
obviously you’re as your computer is
0:10:50.730,0:10:57.259
powered on and obviously if you’ve
0:10:53.190,0:11:00.899
installed these software on your
0:10:57.259,0:11:04.380
computer open HP photo and imaging
0:11:00.899,0:11:06.720
software to send a scan to a program on
0:11:04.380,0:11:09.690
a computer from your HP Officejet
0:11:06.720,0:11:11.490
printer device control panel so on your
0:11:09.690,0:11:13.139
actual Officejet printer you have to go
0:11:11.490,0:11:13.889
to the printer and then look on the
0:11:13.139,0:11:17.069
control panel
0:11:13.889,0:11:20.329
number one load in original on a scanner
0:11:17.069,0:11:23.459
glass you either load it on the glass or
0:11:20.329,0:11:25.380
if you have a scanner that has a feeder
0:11:23.459,0:11:28.380
if you have an HP Officejet that
0:11:25.380,0:11:33.180
actually has a feeder either or doesn’t
0:11:28.380,0:11:36.630
matter and then number two press a scan
0:11:33.180,0:11:39.180
menu or scan to button number three
0:11:36.630,0:11:41.189
press arrow keys to select a program
0:11:39.180,0:11:46.430
that you want to use such as HP photo
0:11:41.189,0:11:46.430
and imaging software and then press ok
0:11:47.269,0:11:54.029
number four press Start scan these
0:11:51.540,0:11:56.790
instructions were for an HP
0:11:54.029,0:12:00.120
hewlett-packard Officejet J 6480
0:11:56.790,0:12:03.660
attached to a computer running Windows
0:12:00.120,0:12:06.209
XP so if you don’t have that exact HP
0:12:03.660,0:12:10.439
Officejet model or if you don’t have a
0:12:06.209,0:12:13.139
HP Officejet J series J 6400 series I
0:12:10.439,0:12:14.100
think these instructions should help you
0:12:13.139,0:12:18.329
get on your way
0:12:14.100,0:12:20.339
the one caveat is if you have a
0:12:18.329,0:12:21.839
different Officejet obviously that
0:12:20.339,0:12:22.829
software is not going to probably work
0:12:21.839,0:12:25.860
it’s not going to have the correct
0:12:22.829,0:12:28.949
drivers so you want to go out on the
0:12:25.860,0:12:31.529
internet and look for your specific HP
0:12:28.949,0:12:33.689
Officejet model number let’s say you
0:12:31.529,0:12:39.810
have a I’m just making one up you might
0:12:33.689,0:12:42.360
have an HP Officejet 4650 or 466 D or
0:12:39.810,0:12:46.110
whether is google it hopefully you will
0:12:42.360,0:12:48.660
find a link to HP’s website where they
0:12:46.110,0:12:49.680
have their software available for
0:12:48.660,0:12:51.480
download
0:12:49.680,0:12:53.490
the full version you want to get the
0:12:51.480,0:12:55.170
full version if you just download
0:12:53.490,0:12:57.960
drivers that’s only going to give you
0:12:55.170,0:13:01.520
the drivers you won’t have the software
0:12:57.960,0:13:05.250
you won’t have the HP imaging software I
0:13:01.520,0:13:08.880
if this is the first time trying to scan
0:13:05.250,0:13:11.160
you’re not a expert at scanning you’re a
0:13:08.880,0:13:14.070
neophyte or this is your very first time
0:13:11.160,0:13:17.070
I recommend just sticking to the HP
0:13:14.070,0:13:21.149
photo and imaging software for now it
0:13:17.070,0:13:23.149
comes on CD or it’ll come on a download
0:13:21.149,0:13:26.700
like I showed you on that previous
0:13:23.149,0:13:28.709
webpage at HP install that software go
0:13:26.700,0:13:30.930
through the rest of the instructions and
0:13:28.709,0:13:34.500
stick to their software for now when
0:13:30.930,0:13:36.540
you’ve become proficient in it which
0:13:34.500,0:13:38.880
shouldn’t take that long right when
0:13:36.540,0:13:41.310
you’re real familiar with their software
0:13:38.880,0:13:43.200
then if you don’t like their software or
0:13:41.310,0:13:44.910
I don’t you know for what a reason then
0:13:43.200,0:13:48.750
you can go out on the internet and then
0:13:44.910,0:13:51.630
use other software but but for now but a
0:13:48.750,0:13:55.890
lot of HP users just stick with HP
0:13:51.630,0:14:00.990
Officejet s– photo and imaging software
0:13:55.890,0:14:03.330
anyways but just for now to get the
0:14:00.990,0:14:05.100
fundamentals it just makes it easier
0:14:03.330,0:14:07.320
because otherwise if you go out there
0:14:05.100,0:14:09.480
and try to install some other scanning
0:14:07.320,0:14:10.950
software you don’t yet it might not work
0:14:09.480,0:14:15.540
with your office jet
0:14:10.950,0:14:18.930
it might not you’d have to look into
0:14:15.540,0:14:20.970
what scanners it’ll work with and it
0:14:18.930,0:14:25.350
just might not so anyways you can always
0:14:20.970,0:14:29.970
browse to a net computers comm for more
0:14:25.350,0:14:32.430
