How can I set scan to default to pdf files on Officejet Pro 6978 printer to computer

[lccarberry]

On my old printer the scan default was set to pdf. I dont see this option on my new printer.

I know I can choose on the computer but I prefer to use the printer.

Hi,

Thanks for using the HP Forums.

How to Scan to Computer

Once you have installed the FULL feature software:

1. Click on the printer Icon (on your desktop) and it will bring up the HP Printer Assistant.
2. Under the Scan menu, there is a “Manage Scan to Computer”, click on that.
3. Make sure that you “Enable” Scan to Computer. Also make sure the tab “Automatically start Scan to Computer when I log on to Windows” is checked if you want to make this feature permanent. (the following video will show you how)
