I have an HP6500 all in one printer and when I try to scan it says refer to device documentation

Scan to PC is not set up on the device. For this to work you will need a piece of a software on the PC that will be waiting for scan requests, and a setting on the device to know where and how to find the PC with that software. Usually both are set up at the time of installation, when it is done with the Full Driver Package, usually provided on a CD/DVD, or you can look for it and download from hp dot com. Download the latest and the biggest one, then install it.

Cannot scan any documents to computer. Refer to

Kindly install the scanner software for printer the driver software cd just re install it will install the scanner software and make sure in device manger there is not other usb device listed if it is there just remove it. And refresh it in will automatically install the driver.

For normal scanning you can choose the option of Scanners and Cameras wizard in control panel. But it is better if you have software disk of printer because it contains more option.
Hope this helps. Please rate my response.
