How you do this depends on the particular application / software you are using.

Two examples of the more popular / likely scenarios.

HP Scan (part of the Full Feature Software)

Example

NOTE:  Setup is similar for both Image JPEG and PDF scanning

Some options are model dependent.

You are welcome.

FYI...

HP Scan - what is it and where does it come from?

HP Scan is part of the Full Driver / Full Feature Software for the printer.

Typically, it can be installed using the Easy Start wrapper.

If you have not done so, download-save-install the Full Feature Software / Full Driver for the printer

If using USB cable between the printer and the computer, disconnect the cable.

  HP Easy Start Printer Setup Software

• Download-and-Save the printer software (Full Feature Software / HP Smart / Easy Start)
• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation
• Reminder:  If using Easy Start, select the Full Driver

  About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full" driver set (as opposed to the basic driver).

If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the last part of the driver installation)

After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Full driver provides print and scan functions (even if HP Smart proves to be stubborn).

After Full Driver is installed shortcut icons are added to the Desktop for printer and for scan.

It's important to note that this feature is NOT part of the full feature HP Smart application.  That suite of tools does not include HP Scan.  (It has a Scan program, but does not do what's described above.)

Additionally, There is no program called HP Scan to launch from Windows directly, even after installing the 'Full Feature Software'.

To launch HP Scan, I had to open the program that's called by my printer's name, in my case, the program was HP OfficeJet 6950.
