Establishing a "Network Folder" for scanning.

[Ezco]

I want to scan a page from my new Smart Tank 7602 printer. It tells me to establish  "Network Folder" to scan to. How do I create the Network Folder"?

I cannot find a reference to this printer supporting Scan to Network Folder on the Printer Control Panel.

True - there are sometimes vagaries in documentation --

For the moment, and for the sake of answering, I will provide information on what I think the printer does support.

HP Document - How to Scan

 HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support

Using an application or software on your printer, it is possible to scan to a network folder location that is either on the computer or a location on your network that is mapped to your computer. 

Destination locations, including network folders mapped to your computer, must be Shared, open for Read and Write, and must be available (alive and on the network) when the scan request is submitted.

HP Smart - Shortcuts - supports scanning to a supported Cloud Storage location. 

HP Scan and HP Universal Scan support scan to destinations available on the computer, including those Shared Network destinations (that are) mapped to the computer.

Additionally, because this non-HP+ printer is eligible for Smart Advance -- a premium feature of HP+ -- the printer supports additional Scan features.

Some Examples

Example - Network Drive / Mapped Folder

Example - HP Scan - Main Menu - More > Destination

Includes "Save To" example
