Welcome to the HP English Community --
The full driver printer software - HP Scan - can adjust the destination folder.
Example - HP Scan - Menu - More > Destination > Save to Folder
9025_HP_Scan_Menu_PDF_More_Destination_9
🡹🡹
======================================================
In general, HP Smart does not support the idea of a default scan folder.
After you select Save, you must next select the destination.
Example - HP Smart - Windows - Scan Document > Save
HP_Smart_Win_Scan_Document_Save_8
An Exception ---
HP Smart Shortcuts can be used to create a "Save" shortcut to save content to one of the supported Cloud storage accounts.
Create the Shortcut.
Reminders -
- First time, use "Add Shortcut" -- after that, you can Right-Click and "Edit" that shortcut to make changes
- For best results, select a destination in a sub-folder.
- For example, if saving a file to OneDrive, select the Destination folder as "Pictures" or perhaps "HP Smart".
Next,
Scan the content
After any optional changes / edits and "Done",
Select as the next option "Shortcuts",
Select the Shortcut you created for this purpose -- the Shortcut will save the content to the location.
Example - HP Smart - Shortcuts - Cloud Save - PDF
HP_Smart_Shortcuts_Cloud_Save_PDF_5
