Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

NOTE

Much of our website support is misbehaving today. 

If links balk, roll, or fail to open, try again later.

At some point it will start working again.

 

HP Document - How to Scan

 HP Printers - How to Scan (Windows, Mac, Mobile) | HP® Customer Support

 

The document essentially tells you that to scan you must use an application or software.

 

What?

Scan on the printer, if it is available is Scan to Computer.

 

Scan to Computer requires that you have a full driver printer software installed on your computer AND that you have the Manage Scan to Computer feature enabled.

 

AND / OR

 

The method you use depends on the device you are using (computer, tablet, phone).

 

Available application or software depends on your Operating System / version.

 

Scanning tools are typically more robust and varied on Windows than on Mobile devices.
