@fangohang1, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Let us try these steps to resolve this issue:

  1. Obtain the IP address of the printer – You can touch the “wireless” icon on the printer control panel to obtain the IP address.
  2. Type the IP address at the top of your web browser to obtain the printer EWS page on your computer.
  3. If you get any security notification, click on show details/advanced and 'proceed to this website'.
  4. Go to Scan > Scan to Email section
  5. Set 'To' as Blank and set 'From' as Default From.
  6. Click Edit for the active profile and ensure the Security PIN is blank.
  7. Save the settings and try scanning.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
