Scanning & saving

[Cherie62]

I just installed the HP Smart App & I am trying to scan documents from my printer & then save them in a file to my Mac computer.  Once I have scanned the documents my only option is to save them to Box, drop box, quickbooks, etc.  I don't want to save to any of these options.  I want to save as a PDF in my documents on my computer.  Where do I go so I can save the scan I just scanned on this HP Smart app to my computer in my documents?

Hi @Cherie62,

I'd like to help!

Scan a document or photo from your printer

Scan documents or photos from your printer to your Mac. Then save your scans or share them via email or social media.

1. From the HP Smart app home screen, click the Scan tile.

2. Click Get Started.

   The Scan window opens.

   NOTE: 

   The Get Started screen displays when you select Scan for the first time.

   

3. From the Scan window, change auto-enhancement and settings, such as document or photo type, page size, output type, source, and resolution to match the scan job.

   NOTE: 

   Auto-enhancements are automatically applied to give you the best scan quality.

4. Click Scan .

   A preview of the scan displays.

   

5. On the Preview window, you can add another page to your scan, reorder multi-page scans, change the file name or type, or edit the scan.

   An editable preview of the scan displays in the Edit window.

   

6. When you complete the edits, click Done.

   The Preview window displays any changes to the scan.

   

7. Use the features in the Preview window to work with your scan.

   • Print: Send your scan to your printer.

   • Save: The default save location for scanned documents is the Documents folder and the Pictures library for scanned photos. Save your scan in the default location or browse to a different folder.

   • Share: Send your scan in an email, share via social media accounts such as Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram, or save the scan in a cloud storage account, such as Box or OneDrive. You can also look for other apps in the App Store.

   • Smart Tasks: Create or use an existing shortcut for printing, emailing, or saving scanned files to cloud accounts.

   • Fax: Send your scan via fax.

8. After you save or share the scan job, click OK.
