How to set default scan settings at printer (HP Inkjet Pro 9025)

[Elliott32224]

I want to set the default scanning settings (2-sided, color, PDF) at the printer, so I can scan at the printer, without using the software on my computer. I cannot find that option on the LCD screen at the printer. I would like instructions how to do this. Thanks.

@Elliott32224 I'm afraid you cannot set defaults or presets on the printer itself, however, you may use the HP Smart Tasks for your printer and get similar results, here's what you need to do, also, go through the FAQs to understand if this is supported by your printer and it's requirements.

Smart Tasks is a feature of the HP Smart app. Use Smart Tasks to create one-touch shortcuts for printing, emailing, and saving documents.

NOTE: 

Smart Tasks are supported in many countries/regions. If the Smart Tasks tile isn’t available in the Smart app, then Smart Tasks is not currently supported in the current country. For more information, go to the HP Smart website (formerly HP Connected), and then click the country/region and language menu. If your country/region displays, it supports Smart Tasks.

Step 1: Install the HP Smart app and enable Smart Tasks

Install the HP Smart app, add your printer, and then enable Smart Tasks.

1. Make sure your device and printer are connected to your wireless network, and then download and install the HP Smart app from 123.hp.com (Android, iOS), or HP Smart (in English) from the Windows Store (Windows 10).

2. Open the app, and then follow the on-screen instructions to add your printer.

   NOTE: 

   Restrictions in Android 7.0 (Nougat) and later might prevent HP printer setup using the HP Smart app for Android. Go to Printer Setup Fails with HP Smart App (Android) for alternative steps to connect to your printer.

3. From the HP Smart app home screen, select your printer, and then click the Smart Tasks tile.

4. If the Smart Tasks tile does not display, personalize your home screen.

   • Android, iOS: Tap Personalize Tiles, and then enable Smart Tasks.

   • Windows 10: Click the Settings icon , click Personalize Tiles, and then enable Smart Tasks.

   • Mac: Click Printer Settings, and then enable Smart Tasks.

5. Follow any on-screen prompts to sign in or create an HP account.

Thanks for the response and the welcome. The 9025 is replacing my 8620, which has the capability that I wanted (changing default settings at MFP). This was a nice feature and sorry that it was removed. I set up a Smart Task for scanning and I was disappointed to see that it does not allow saving the document to my NAS.
