Hi @ASHOK86,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

To change the default scan type on an HP OfficeJet Pro 4929 printer, you typically need to access the printer’s settings either through its control panel or its software interface on your computer. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you adjust the default scan settings:

Changing Scan Settings via Printer Control Panel

• On the HP OfficeJet Pro 4929 printer, locate and tap the "Scan" button on the control panel.
• Tap "Scan to Computer" or "Scan to Email" depending on where you want to set the default type.:
• Choose the scan type you prefer (e.g., Color, Black & White, PDF, JPEG, etc.)
• Look for an option to "Save" or "Apply" the settings to set them as default. This option might be in the "Settings" or "Options" menu depending on your printer’s model and firmware version.

Changing Scan Settings via HP Smart App (Windows and macOS)

Open HP Smart:

• Launch the HP Smart app on your computer. If you don’t have it installed, you can download it from the Microsoft Store or the Mac App Store.
• Make sure your HP OfficeJet Pro 4929 is selected as the active printer.
• Click on the "Scan" option to open the scan settings.
• Set your preferred scan type (e.g., Color, Black & White, Document, Photo, etc.) from the available options.
• Once configured, look for an option to save these settings as defaults or apply them for future scans.

Changing Scan Settings via HP Printer Software (Windows)

Open HP Printer Software:

• Open the HP Printer Assistant or HP Scan and Capture software on your computer.
• Go to the "Scan" section within the software.
• Choose your default scan type (e.g., PDF, JPEG, Color, Black & White).
• Save the settings or apply them to make them the default for future scans.

Changing Scan Settings via Web Interface (if applicable)

Access Web Interface:

• If your printer is connected to your network, you can access its web interface. Open a web browser and enter the printer’s IP address (found on the printer’s control panel under "Network" or "Information").
• Log in with the admin credentials if prompted. The default username and password are often found in the printer’s manual or setup guide.
• Look for "Scan Settings" or similar in the web interface.
• Set your desired default scan type and save the changes.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
