Hi @SazHigs,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.
Since your HP OfficeJet 5230 is connected and printing from your iPad using the HP Smart app, scanning is totally possible — it’s just a matter of a few taps.
Here’s how to scan to your iPad using the HP Smart app:
- Open the HP Smart app on your iPad.
- Tap on the “Printer Scan” or “Scan” tile (if you don’t see this tile, scroll down or tap “Customize” to add it).
- Place your document on the scanner glass or in the ADF (document feeder) of the OfficeJet 5230.
- Choose your scan settings (e.g., color, resolution, scan area).
- Tap the Scan button.
- Once the scan completes, you can:
- Preview the scanned image.
- Save to Files, Photos, or Email.
- Or tap Share (box with upward arrow) to send it to other apps.
- If you don’t see the “Scan” tile:
- Make sure the app is fully updated (check the App Store).
- Reconnect to your printer by going to App Settings > Printers > Add or Manage.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
