The HP DeskJet 2600 is an excellent entry-level All-in-One printer. It allows you to print and scan without the hassle of connecting the printer to your computer over the wire. Other than that, the print speed is pretty good for the price. But the lack of a touchscreen can be quite a challenge for new owners.
Thankfully, the HP DeskJet 2600 has pretty nifty tricks when it comes to scanning documents efficiently. So whether you want a physical copy or want to send documents to your phone or computer, it can be done easily.
The best thing about it is that when you place the document on the scanner, the rest of the work can be handled seamlessly through your phone or PC.
In today’s post, we’ll look at two ways to get scanned copies easily on phones and computers from your new HP DeskJet 2600 All-in-One printer.
Method 1: Scan the document to your computer
Step 1: Before we move on to the actual process, make sure that you have the necessary drivers installed on your system. If you don’t have it installed, visit the link below to download and install it like any other .exe file.
After your PC unpacks the files, you’ll be prompted to choose your connection options. I chose Wireless.
That will start printer discovery mode. When your PC detects the printer, select it and click Next.
Step 2: Once the setup is complete, open Settings (Windows key + I) and search for Printers. Select Printers & scanners from the menu and click the Add printer or scanner button, add a new printer.
At this point, make sure that both the PC and the printer are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Once the scan is complete, the DeskJet 2600 printer will show up in the menu.
As soon as you click the Add Device button, you will see the Launch Application window (or the Open printer application button).
Step 3: Click the button and the HP Smart app will open right away. The main advantage of this application is that it visually shows the ink level of the printer cartridge.
In addition, you will find a range of options such as Print Document, Scan and Print Photos, among others.
Step 4: Click Scan and you will see many options on your screen. Here you can choose Output Type (Color or Grayscale), Resolution (1200dpi maximum) and Compression levels (Medium, High and Low).
After making the changes, click the Scan button in the lower right corner to start scanning.
Step 5: Once the scan is complete, drag the handles to make any changes to the scanned document. Now all you have to do is tap Apply > Save and ta-da! Say hello to your first scanned document on the new HP DeskJet 2600.
You can also attach additional pages to the same document by clicking the Add Page button in the upper left corner.
Note
Method 2. Scan documents to your phone (iOS and Android)
The HP DeskJet 2600 also lets you send scanned copies of documents to your iPhone and Android. The setup process is as simple and easy as a walk in the park.
Here too, the same rule applies. Both devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network. The HP Smart App makes that a reality.
Both apps are almost the same in terms of features and settings. However, the iOS app has a slightly different interface and a few extra features.
Step 1: Open the application and select the Scan to Email tab. iOS users can choose Scan.
Compared to the PC app, you won’t find features like DPI selection and Compression level. You can choose the paper size.
Step 2: Now, all you have to do is click on Scan and the printer will start the job.
iOS users can tap the big blue icon in the bottom ribbon. When your system transfers the scanned copy, you can choose to save the JPG or PDF copy directly or edit it further.
Step 3: To edit the copy, tap the Edit icon in the upper right corner. iOS users can press the Edit button. Once you’ve made all the changes, tap the Save button.
Android users will find the file automatically saved to the HP Smart folder in Documents.
iOS users will need to explicitly tap the Save to File button on the Share Sheet and select the folder location manually.
