Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

Examples in this message:

HP Scan - part of the Full Driver printer software 

HP Smart - application

 

===================================================

 

The Full Driver printer software includes HP Scan.

 

HP Scan can change / edit the Destination folder

 

Example HP Scan - PDF - Destination

9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_139025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_13

 

 

HP Smart - Windows - does not have an inbuilt "Change Destination Default" but does let you select the destination folder during each job run.

 

Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan - PDF 

HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_12HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_12

 

 

HP Smart - Shortcuts - Save to Cloud account -

The Cloud Save option supports selecting the default sub-folder used to save the scanned content.

 

Using HP Smart Shortcuts requires that all the settings be built into the Shortcut -

Built-in settings include the type of content, the destination (cannot be changed on the fly),  and other job setup details appropriate for the particular Shortcut task type.
