HOW TO ACTIVATE SCAN FUNCTION ON MY COMPUTER

@MJASTO, Welcome to HP Support Community!

 

I see that you want to activate the scan function on the computer. When the printer is installed on the computer both print and scan functions are enabled. If you'd want to activate scan to computer, follow the steps below-

  1. Search Windows for your printer model name, and click the printer name in the list of results. HP Printer Assistant opens.
  2. Click Scanner Actions, and then click Manage Scan to Computer.
  3. Click Enable to activate the scan to computer option.

Additionally, refer to the document HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows)  for help.

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
