HP ENVY 5055 All-in-One Printer

Can I scan to a thumb drive inserted into the USB slot?
I don't see any set up info in the user guide for this.
TIA!

Looking at the specs it states 1 usb port. If that port is on the back of the printer then it will be solely for connecting the printer to a PC with a USB cable. There is no mention of a front USB port, which would be the type you could directly insert a standard USB memory stick into. So my answer would be No
