Hi @Cyndi1030 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

Setting up a network path for scanning on your HP Smart Tank 7600 series in Windows 11 requires configuring the printer to send scanned documents directly to a designated folder on your computer. 

Here’s how you can do it:

Step-by-Step Guide to Set Up Network Scanning

 

1. Ensure Network Connectivity

• Make sure your printer is connected to the same network as your computer.
• You can check this by printing a Network Configuration Page from the printer’s control panel.

 

2. Access the Embedded Web Server (EWS)

• Open a web browser on your computer.
• Enter your printer’s IP address (found in the Network Configuration Page) in the address bar.
• Press Enter to access the printer’s web interface.

 

3. Configure Scan to Network Folder

• Navigate to Settings > Scan Settings.
• Look for the Scan to Network Folder option.
• Enter the network path where you want scanned documents to be saved (e.g., \\YourComputerName\SharedFolder).
• If required, enter a username and password for authentication.

 

4. Save and Test the Configuration

• Click Save Settings after entering the network folder details.
• Try scanning a document to see if it is saved correctly in the designated folder.

 

5. Adjust Scan Settings (Optional)

• You can modify settings such as file format, resolution, and scan quality to suit your needs.
