Hi @sales14 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

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

Sure! Setting up the scanner on your HP OfficeJet 8130e printer should be fairly straightforward. Here are the steps to set up the scanner and start scanning documents.

1. Make Sure the Printer is Set Up and Connected

Before using the scanner, ensure that your HP OfficeJet 8130e is properly set up and connected to your network, whether it’s through Wi-Fi or USB. If it’s not connected yet, here’s a quick rundown of setting it up:

• Wi-Fi Setup: Follow the Wireless Setup Wizard on the printer’s control panel to connect it to your Wi-Fi network.
• USB Setup: Connect the printer to your computer using the provided USB cable.

2. Install the Printer and Scanner Software

To enable the scanning function, you need to have the proper drivers and software installed on your computer. If you haven’t already installed the HP printer drivers and HP Smart app, follow these steps:

Option 1: Using HP Smart

1. Download and Install HP Smart from the Microsoft Store or the HP website.
2. Open the HP Smart app and follow the setup instructions to add your HP OfficeJet 8130e printer.
3. Once connected, you'll be able to scan directly from the HP Smart app.

Option 2: Using the HP Print and Scan Doctor

1. Download and install HP Print and Scan Doctor from the HP support website.
2. This tool helps you diagnose and fix any issues with your printer and scanner, including connectivity and driver issues.

Option 3: Using the Printer Driver from the HP website

1. Go to the HP Support page for the OfficeJet 8130e.
2. Download the latest Full Feature Software and drivers package for your operating system (Windows or macOS).
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the driver and software.

3. Using the Scanner with Your Computer

Once you’ve installed the necessary software, you can use the scanner in a few different ways:

Option 1: Using HP Smart (Recommended for Ease)

1. Open the HP Smart app.
2. Select the Scan tile.
3. Place the document you want to scan on the scanner glass or in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
4. Click Scan to start the scanning process.
5. You can adjust the settings like color, resolution, and file type (e.g., PDF, JPEG) before scanning.

Option 2: Using Windows Scan App (For Windows 10/11)

1. Press the Windows key and type Windows Scan. Open the app.
2. In the Windows Scan app, select your HP OfficeJet 8130e printer.
3. Choose your scan settings and click Preview to adjust.
4. Click Scan to begin scanning.

I hope this helps.
