Hi,

Where do you get that step/instruction ? You have to sca from your computer, not from your printer:

Scan using the HP printer software
● Scan to a computer
● Create a new scan shortcut (Windows)
● Change scan settings (Windows)
Scan to a computer
Before scanning to a computer, make sure you have already installed the HP recommended printer software.
The printer and computer must be connected and turned on.
To scan a document or photo to a file (Windows)
1. Load the original print side down on the right front corner of the scanner glass.
2. Double-click the printer icon on the desktop or do one of the following to open the printer software:
● Windows 8.1: Click the down arrow in lower left corner of the Start screen, and then select the
printer name.
● Windows 8: Right-click an empty area on the Start screen, click All Apps on the app bar, and then
select the printer name.
● Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP: From the computer desktop, click Start, select All
Programs, click HP, click the folder for the printer, and then select the icon with the printer's
name.
3. In the printer software, click Scan a Document or Photo.
4. Select the type of scan you want and then click Scan.
● Choose Save as PDF to save the document (or photo) as a PDF file.
● Choose Save as JPEG to save the photo (or document) as an image file.
NOTE: Click the More link at the top right corner of the Scan dialog to review and modify settings for
any scan.
For more information, see Change scan settings (Windows) on page 53.
If Show Viewer After Scan is selected, you can make adjustments to the scanned image in the preview
screen.

You'll have to hide the taskbar in the Control Panel otherwise you won't be able to click Scan button

It's down below, behind the Taskbar.  You'll have to hide Taskbar in the Control Panel, in  the Appearance & Personalization > Taskbar & Start Menu

IMAGINE SELLING A SCANNER THAT HAS NO 'SCAN' BUTTON.   WHAT DOES HP THINK IT'S DOING.

DISGUSTED!!

Welcome to the 21st century.  Here's how to scan:  Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > right-click your HP Printer image and Start Scan.  Once done, save it in the folder of your choice.

This works on my Win7.  Clear as mud?

There is no need to be so rude and insult peoples intelligence.

Now its my turn to ask where is the scan button on the HP Deskjet 3630 printer. AND to add salt to injury HP scanning dept does not operate on weekends for customer inquiries, nice one HP I had my doubt's about getting another HP printer. Will not make this mistake again.

Where is the frickn scan button if it has one it should be visible otherwise dont instruct as such.

WOW HP who would of thought that HP's scan button is the enter button.

People this is what I did out of frustration I hit the enter button and bingo the printer began to scan.

Stupid!! HP,  you should say select enter not scan.
