Lost scanned files with HP Smart

[Bunz1]

I installed and am using HP Smart ap on my new Mac.   I can scan files, but it does not give me any options on how to name them or where to file them on my Mac.  I can not find them after scanning.   Can anyone help?

@Bunz1, Welcome to the HP Support Community! I’m here to help.

I understand you do not know the destination folder for scanned items and would like to rename them.

Click the Scan tile on the HP Smart app home screen.

Select an option from the top menu bar.

• Scanner: Place the original on the printer scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF). Select scan job type, size, color, and resolution settings, and then click Scan in the lower right corner.

• Import: Select photos saved on your computer to apply a boundary, and then use the settings to edit, print, and share.

• Camera: Uses the computer camera or a webcam to capture, edit, and print or share a photo or document.

1. Click Scan. A preview of the scan displays.

2. In the Edit window, adjust or enhance the file by cropping, changing the color, rotating, or adding filters and text, and then click Done.

   

3. Select an option to save, print, share, or fax the scan file.

   • Print: Send the scan to the printer.

   • Save: The default save location for scanned documents is the Documents folder and the Pictures library for scanned photos. Save the scan in the default location or browse to a different folder.

   • Share: Send the scan in an email, share via social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or save the scan in a cloud storage account, such as Box or OneDrive. You can also look for other apps in the Windows or Mac store.

   • Shortcuts: Create or use an existing shortcut for printing, emailing, or saving scanned files to cloud accounts.

   • Fax: Send the scan via fax.

   

4. After saving the scan, click OK, and then click the Back button to return to the Home screen.
