HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw
macOS 10.12 Sierra

How doI I scan old photos with my HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M281cdw printer? I have tried "scan to USB" and the photo scans as a document, not a photo. (I have set to JPEG). Also, is there a way to scan a few photos at a time as separate photos?

To scan from your mac, you may use the HP Smart app or the HP Easy Scan app.

These apps can be downloaded from the App Store.

Yes, you can scan photos and save them individually.

If you are using the scan to USB option on the printer screen,
