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

It's not obvious from the contents of your question whether you are running Windows or another Operating System / version.

What?

"Scan to Computer" is a term used with having installed the full driver printer software and enabling the "Manage Scan to Computer" feature.

 User Guide - HP ENVY 6400e All-in-One series

Page 61

The installation of the full driver generally adds at least one or more shortcuts to the Desktop.

 Note:  Printer Assistant, HP Scan Assistant, and HP Scan are dependent on printer model and supported software options.

• Printer Assistant – Where still supported as part of the full driver printer software
• HP Scan Assistant – For those printers that no longer provide the Printer Assistant
• HP Scan – Shortcut on Desktop named for the printer model
• When installed, HP Universal Scan software adds a separate self-named “HP Scan” shortcut

Important

Printer Assistant shortcut > Tab Scan > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable

OR

HP Scan Assistant shortcut > Manage Scan to Computer > Enable

General Example - Full Feature Software Installed - Programs and Features - Scan to Computer
