Scan directly to e-mail or network folders

The HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus e-All-in-One offers both Scan to network folders and Scan to e-mail features.

Scan to e-mail lets you:

• Save paper
  Since there’s nothing to print and nothing to fax, these features cut down on paper usage.


• Save time
  Without this feature, you’d need to scan a document to your PC, then send it as an attachment via e-mail from your PC.

Scan to network lets you:

• Increase security
  Have an instant digital copy of anything you scan stored on your network server. From invoices to checks, estimates to contracts, you don’t have to worry about lost paper (or using up valuable space in a filing cabinet).


• Get instant access
  Provide immediate access to scanned documents for others on your network, if you choose.
