Hi @MaryVV,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

To scan in color with your HP Officejet 4630 using macOS Monterey 12.0, you can make use of the HP Easy Scan utility or Apple's built-in Image Capture application. Below are detailed options to achieve this:

Option 1: Use HP Easy Scan

HP Easy Scan is the recommended app for macOS scanning with full color support.

1. Download HP Easy Scan:
   • If not already installed, download it from the HP Easy Scan on the Mac App Store.
2. Open HP Easy Scan:
   • Select your printer from the list.
   • Choose Scan Settings > Kind > Select Color.
   • Click Scan.
3. Save the Scan:
   • After scanning, click Send or Save to store the file in your desired format (PDF, JPEG, etc.).

Option 2: Use macOS Built-in Scanning

1. Go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners.
2. Select your HP OfficeJet 4630.
3. Click Scan > Open Scanner.
4. In the scan window:
   • Set Kind to Color.
   • Choose resolution and format.
