Scanning file from printer to computer can't change name

[ndimucci3]

This is a work computer and when I scan to save anything the default name it saves to I am unable to change. This is frustrating and it is unprofessional as well. I have tried troubleshooting to the best of my ability but don't know how to change the name of the file being scanned to the computer. I know I can manually do it once I scan it but would like to change the name it comes onto the computer as.

Hi @ndimucci3,

Thanks for stopping by the HP community. A very good day to you. 🙂 I reviewed the post regarding information to change the name the file that is scanned from the default one to the one you require. I will be delighted to assist you here. 🙂

Great description and splendid diagnosis of the issue before posting. Kudos to you for that. 🙂 You are a valued HP customer and it is paramount to assist you with it. I take it as a privilege to share this platform with you. 🙂

To assist you accurately I would require more information regarding this.

• Are you scanning from the computer’s printer software or from the printer itself?
• Please let me know the operating system on the computer?

Please try these steps

• Please click on the printer scan software on the computer. It should launch HP scan software.
• The option “Destination” is on the lower left side of the right window pane.
• Please click on it.
• On the right pane of the software window, you need to click on the option or tab that says “more” located on the upper right side.
• Then click in the box under the option “File name” and change the name to the one that you want.
• Then click on scan

This should do the trick for you.
