Welcome to the HP Community --
This is one of those subjects where the details depend on the printer model.
In most cases, the basics can be found in the printer's user manual.
Reference
Open > Printer Product Home
Select printer model
Open Category Manuals > Find and open User Guide
Read the chapter section on Scan and / or look for key words, for example, "to network"
==============================================
Scan to Network Folder - Digital Send feature
The next consideration is whether the printer model supports Scan to Network Folder as a Digital Send feature.
Example -- a well known OfficeJet Pro model --
Digital Sending Standard Features | Scan-to E-mail; Scan to network folder; Scan to SharePoint; Scan to thumb drive |
If the feature is supported in the Embedded Web Server (EWS), the setup depends on the type of EWS format.
EWS > HP Document / How-to (InkJet Printers – Original Format)
Use the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS)
