Guessing...

HPSCAN might indicate you are using the Windows full driver software and the HP Scan program.

 

If that is the case, the "bunch of numbers" are likely a date code.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE

HP Smart app also uses a date code mechanism to separate scan content file names.

For saves to other than Cloud Destinations, the final name of the file can be edited before it is saved.

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

 

HP Scan does not allow full file naming freedom of scan content --

You can change the base name.

 

Example - HP Scan - Menu options - More > Destination > sub-menu File Name

9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_99025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_9
