Welcome to the HP English Community --

HP Smart, Windows and Mobile versions,  include a Scan component.

Built-in Scan options include those found in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) and Windows Fax and Scan.

=================================================

Full Driver Printer Software / Universal Scan Software

The full driver software includes HP Scan (new format).  The full driver also supports printing from within Word and other Office Software as well as many third party photo editing software and current versions of Adobe Reader.

Installing the full driver printer software includes "Manage Scan to Computer" --

Scan from the printer control panel to the supported computer where the full driver is installed.

Also listed as available for this printer, HP Universal Scan Software.

For the purposes of comparison, the new format HP Scan and Universal Scan are the same software.  This means if you install the full driver, you need not also install HP Universal Scan.  Yes, to date, the system will tolerate having both packages installed on the same computer.

NOTES:  

HP Scan is not installed if the printer does not support Scan.

Shortcuts on the Desktop

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.

 Note:  Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.

• Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
• HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model

OR

• HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
• HP Scan - Shortcut named for itself

AND / OR

• When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut
• NOTE >> If you install the full driver printer software, installing HP Universal Scan as a standalone software from category Software & Drivers is not necessary.  The system will allow you to install both.
