The HP Smart software has scanning capability to scan a document and print a copy of the document scanned.  I can not find software function to scan a document and save document to an electronic file like a pdf file.  Can this printer perform this function or not?

Hi @PICS1,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

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

 

Yes, the HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw printer does have the capability to scan documents and save them as electronic files such as PDFs. Here's how you can do it.

 

  • Install HP Smart App: Make sure you have the HP Smart app installed on your computer or mobile device. You can download it from the respective app store for your device.
  • Connect to Printer: Ensure that your computer or mobile device is connected to the same network as your HP LaserJet MFP M234sdw printer.
  • Open HP Smart App: Open the HP Smart app on your device.
  • Select Scan: Look for the option to scan documents within the HP Smart app. It might be labeled as "Scan" or represented by a scanner icon.
  • Place Document: Place the document you want to scan on the scanner glass or in the document feeder, depending on your printer model.
  • Configure Settings: Before scanning, you may have the option to configure settings such as resolution, color mode, file format (e.g., PDF), and destination folder.
  • Scan Document: Start the scanning process through the HP Smart app. Follow any on-screen prompts to adjust settings or confirm the scan.
  • Save as PDF: Once the scan is complete, you should have the option to save the scanned document as a PDF file. Look for an option similar to "Save as PDF" or "Save to PDF".
  • Choose Location: Select the location on your device where you want to save the PDF file.
  • Finalize: Confirm the save action, and your document will be saved as a PDF file on your device.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
