Laser Jet Pro MFP M277dw
Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

I have both a Windows 7 and a Windows 10 computer that I share an all in one hp device with.  I just switched from HP MFP 200 to the MFP M277dw.

On the laser Jet MFP200 I could put a document into the hp to scan it, then go to the computer I wished to scan it to, open up a scan window (a scanner icon I had on my taskbar) select the scan format, the dpi level, color or black & white, etc.  IOn the scan settings I had many options of how I wanted to setup the way my scans were done, and I could change those options as I went along per individual scan, or accept the settings I had set up (I edited the contrast, etc.).  I was also able to select which folder on my computer to save the scan to, when I hit save scan, a window automatically opened up for me to save that scan into my preselected folder with the cursor sitting on the field for me to enter in whatever name I wanted to name that scan, once I named the scan, then I had preset the settings in the scan to automatically open up an email with the scan attached and be sitting in the email address window for me to put in the email address that I wanted to send that scan to.    Very excellent features that I used often multiple times a day.  I am trying to get my new M277dw to do the same.  So far all I have figured is to scan from the hp device to a network folder...then I have to go to the computer, and open the network folder, find the scan, open the scan to see if it is the scan I just sent since it looks like it will automatically save as my base name plus a number, so you have to double check that the folder is the correct scan, then you would close the folder, then right click on the folder name to change the folder name, then reopen the folder and ask to send it as an email attachment.  Even with all these extra steps, I do not see how I can edit the scan for contrast, etc.  Is there a way to get that scanning window option back onto my computers (Windows 7 & Windows 10) in order to have the new HP scan like my old HP did with all those presets available since it's a tool I used multiple times a day?
