How to turn on Webscan with Office Jet 8025 and ENVY 7164

[FBG2015]

Following HP instructions, to turn on Webscan, first go to the Settings tab, click Security, click Administrator Settings, select Enable for Webscan, then click Apply. That might work, but first I need to know if this refers to the little LCD screen on my printers. There is a Settings tab on the LCD screen on both of my my printers, but there is no choice for Security. So, am I looking at Settings in the wrong place?
