Hi @suppit ,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
Certainly! To enable the "Scan to Network" feature on an HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 printer, you typically need to follow these steps:
-
Access the Printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS): Open a web browser on a computer connected to the same network as your HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 printer.
-
Enter the Printer's IP Address: Type the printer's IP address into the web browser's address bar. You can find this information on the printer's control panel by navigating through the settings or printing a network configuration page.
-
Log in to the EWS: Once you enter the printer's IP address, it should take you to the printer's Embedded Web Server. If prompted, enter the login credentials (if you haven't set any, leave it blank or try "admin" as both the username and password).
-
Scan to Network Settings: Look for the "Scan" or "Scan to Network" option within the EWS menu. It might be under a "Scan" or "Scan Settings" section. Navigate through the menu options until you find the setting for "Scan to Network" or similar wording.
-
Configure Scan to Network: Within this setting, you should be able to add network folders or destinations where scanned documents will be saved. Enter the network path or browse for the folder where you want scanned documents to be stored.
-
Save Settings: Once you've entered the necessary network information, save the settings.
-
Test Scan: To ensure it's working, try initiating a scan from the printer's control panel, selecting the "Scan to Network" option, and choosing the configured network destination. Follow the prompts on the printer's display to complete the scan.
If the above steps do not fix the issue, I would request you reach out to our phone support.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance.
