Copy, print and scan to PDF with an HP DeskJet 2600

Load plain paper correctly in the rear input tray and extend the output tray. Place the original face down on the scanner glass at the marked corner and close the lid. Press Black Copy or Color Copy. To increase the number of copies, press that same button repeatedly and quickly, watching the display.

Wait until the sheet is fully released, then compare it with the original. Cancel stops the active operation. The overview recording produces a poor-quality copy; that result does not establish an ink repair. Use the separate print-quality guide if colours or text are missing.

In the HP app, select the connected DeskJet, then Print Documents or Print Photos. Select the file and open Print Preview. Check the actual loaded paper size, page range, colour and quality before sending the job.

For photo paper use the suitable media setting and the correct loading orientation for that paper; choosing Best does not change a low-resolution source into a higher-resolution image. Wait for a physical print and check it rather than treating the preview as completion.

Place the page face down at the glass mark and close the lid. In the HP app select this printer and open Scan using the printer scanner, not Camera scan. For several pages choose Batch if that task is available in your iPhone app; HP also supports adding pages from the preview.

Start Scan and wait until the first page is complete. The dedicated demonstration uses two separate originals. Leave the printer connected while the app finishes rather than changing networks midway.

Replace the first page on the glass with the next original, keeping the side to be scanned face down at the mark. Choose Scan for the next page or Add page in your app version. Repeat for the pages you need.

When finished, select the completed page/file preview. Check page order, crop and orientation; reorder or rotate if necessary. The overview’s upside-down scan is corrected in the preview. This flatbed workflow requires changing each original by hand.

Choose Share/Save, give the document a useful name and select PDF to keep its pages in one document. Optional compression reduces file size; check that small text remains readable. Continue to the iPhone share sheet and choose Save to Files, opening the additional sharing options if necessary.

Choose a folder, finish Save, then open that PDF in Files and check its page count and legibility. The two-page demonstration actually reopens its PDF; seeing a scan preview alone would not establish a saved file.
