Hi @Emperatriz,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Check the Scan Destination Path

Open HP Printer Software:

  • Ensure the software is installed and running on your computer.

Manage Scan Settings:

  • Access the scanning section of your HP printer software.
  • Confirm the settings are configured to save scanned documents to the desired location (e.g., Photos or Documents folder).

Check and Modify Scan Settings:

  • Ensure the correct destination folder is selected in the scan settings.
  • You might need to update the path if it has been changed unintentionally.

Use HP Smart App

Install HP Smart App:

  • If not already done, download and install the HP Smart App from your app store.

Verify Scan Settings:

  • Open the app and go to the scanning settings.
  • Confirm the destination folder and file format for scanned documents.

File Format and Compatibility

Confirm File Type:

  • Check if the scanned documents are being saved in a format supported by your system (e.g., JPEG, PDF).

Check for File Size Limitations:

  • Ensure there are no restrictions on file sizes that might affect saving larger scanned documents.

Connectivity and Software Updates

Check Network Connection:

  • Ensure your printer and computer are connected to the same network if scanning over a wireless connection.

Update Software:

  • Ensure the HP Printer software and drivers are up to date. Visit the HP Support website for updates.

I hope this helps.
