What does "Scan to Computer Mean?"

[dino81]

I am running Windows 10, 64 bit, and have a wireless hp envy 5530 all in one printer on my network.

I do not understand what "Scan to Computer" means...does it mean that I can scan a web page and send it to my computer, or does it mean scan a document and send it to my computer, or does it mean both?

Thanks,

dino

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

Scan to Computer means "scan a document and send it to my computer"

You will need to install the FULL feature software and enable it before you can use.

How to Scan to Computer

Once you have installed the software:

1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
2. Under the Scan menu, there is a “Manage Scan to Computer”, click on that.
3. Make sure that you “Enable” Scan to Computer. Also make sure the tab “Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log on to Windows” is checked if you want to make this feature permanent. (the following video will show you how)

Hope that helps!
