How do you scan?

HP OfficeJet 4580 No Scan Options Vista

HP OfficeJet 4580 No Scan Options XP

Most common problem, not having the full-featured software installed for your model and OS.

Not too sure on this model, but if there was no options, perhaps the machine has not been set up correctly to scan to a folder or application.
This FAQ/Guide from HP shows you what you need to do to correct set up your printer to make scans.

Try to reinstall the driver. If not help try scan with other program like "Microsoft scanner and camera wizard".

I am trying to scan, but when I press the scan button it states "No scan options. Refer to device doc to troubleshoot". However, I can't find my device doc. I am assuming there is an easy fix?

The ADF has a minimum paper size. If you have set a size below A8 it may lock out the ADF option. Try setting the paper size to Letter. If this doesn't help, try swapping the scanners to see if the problem moves to the other PC. If so, it's a scanner hardware error. If it stays with the original PC, remove & reinstall the driver & the scanning application.

Make sure you have microsoft word installed i you computer.
But if you want to scan a document you can also scan it to HP Document Viewer.
