Send to Email from my PC

[SJB99111]

I am trying to "scan to email" from my PC. In one place I read to put in my ip address and then to click on scan and then scan to email set up, but I do not have "scan to email setup". Can anyone tell me how to get it set up?

What you do depends on your goal.

Scan to Email - Printer Email Address

True, this printer does not include "Scan to Email" setup as do those printers that support SMTP (digital send) option.

IF your goal is to Scan to the printer's email address - that is, scan straight to print,

This printer requires you set up the option using the printer front panel > Printer Apps

Open your user manual:

User Guide

Read the section on Web Services > Starting on Page 99

and...

HP Printers - Print with HP ePrint

HP Smart / HP Connected > How to > Setting Up and Using HP ePrint

HP Smart / HP Connected > Troubleshooting > HP Printers - HP ePrint Job Does Not Print

Step 2: Check the email and print job requirements

===========================================================

If the goal is to scan the content and then send that content to an email recipient...

Scan to Email - Recipient(s)

For any option:

• Install the Full Feature Software / full driver printer software - includes HP Scan
• Install HP Smart Windows application - use the "Share" option

Open your user manual:

User Guide

READ section "Scan to Email" > Page 48

and / or

Printer software not installed?

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

• Home Page - HP Easy Start 
• Open Category Software and Drivers 
• Topic: Software-Utility 
• Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
• If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.

• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation

• When asked, Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
• If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
2. 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 or other application).
3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.
