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.

 

Let me know if you need further clarification! Hopefully, this gets your HP Smart Tank 7600 series scanning smoothly. 😊
