Changing default save location

[BristolPete1]

Each time I scan to my computer I change the default save location from Documents to Desktop (which makes sure I file them properly). When I exit HP Scan I select to save the settings, but each time I use HP Scan again they have reverted to Documents. 

Any ideas on how to permanently change the default save location?

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Support Community.

Please refer to this reousrce for the steps to change the default Save loaction:

HP Officejet Pro 8710/8720/8730/ 6960 /6970 series : Scan & save as individual PDF files

Hope that helps!

This is just what I have been doing, with the addition of saving the formatting when exiting the software (which doesn't seem to be mentioned). But still when I use the program again I have to respecify the location - thus it saves the save location but not the default save location.

Hi @BristolPete1

Thanks for the additioal feedback.

Yes, it's true that the Scan destination cannot be "permanent". 😞

If you would like an alternative 3rd party scan software, Vuescan would be a good option.

Download the software at

It has the "Save to default folder" option once it's setup.

Thanks,

Thanks It's useful to know that the fault is in the software company not behind my keyboard. 
I can never understand why these people don't get out in the world enough to know what their customers want, I'll certainly give Vuescan a try.
