[SuziePQ]

How do you change the subject line when scanning from older printer? It currently just states each time it is HPSCANwith a bunch of numbers.

Thanks

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_9
