Hi @Lezell412,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To set up scanning functionality for your HP DeskJet 1510 printer, especially to scan documents and send them to your email or computer, follow these steps:

1. Reinstall HP Software

Download HP Smart Software:

• Visit HP's Software and Driver Downloads page and search for your HP DeskJet 1510.
• Download and install the HP Smart app or the HP Printer Software (this is often labeled as "Full Feature Software and Drivers").

Run the Installer:

• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. This should reinstall the necessary software for scanning and other functionalities.

2. Set Up Scanning with HP Smart App

Open HP Smart App:

• Once installed, open the HP Smart app on your desktop or mobile device.

Add Your Printer:

• If your printer isn’t already added, click on the + or Add Printer button in the HP Smart app and follow the prompts to add your HP DeskJet 1510.

Access Scanning Features:

• Click on the Scan option within the HP Smart app.

Configure Scan Settings:

• Select the type of scan you want to perform (e.g., Scan to Email or Scan to Computer). Configure settings such as file format and destination.

Scan and Send:

• Place your document on the scanner, click Scan, and follow the prompts to send the scanned document as an email attachment or save it to your computer.

3. Using Windows Built-in Scanning Tool

Open Windows Fax and Scan:

• On Windows 10 or 11, search for "Windows Fax and Scan" in the Start menu and open the application.

Select New Scan:

• Click on New Scan. This will open a scanning dialog.

Choose Scanner:

• Select your HP DeskJet 1510 from the list of available scanners.

Configure Settings:

• Adjust the scan settings as needed (e.g., color, resolution).

Scan and Save:

• Click Scan to start the scanning process. Once complete, you can save the scanned document to your computer and then manually attach it to an email if desired.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
