2540 deskjet wireless
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello, once there was the hpscan tool.

with that tool i could connect to a 2540 deskjet in a wireless network and make a pdf scanning several pages.

That tool is no longer working on windows 10.

The only quick way I was able to find was to use the windows 10 fax and scan utility and imagemagick.

Is there a tool by hp, working on windows 10, that can listen to the scanned pages and put on a pdf?

thank you

What worked for me using Windows 10: Go to Control Panel. Select 'view devices and printers' Under Hardware and Sound. Select HP Deskjet 2540 Series (Network). Middle right of the next screen Select HP All-in One Printer Remote (Windows 8.1+) Select it and HP Smart comes up with the Scan funtion in purple at the bottom. Run it, Name it, and it will be available in 'Pictures'.
