To scan a document to your computer using the HP DeskJet 4258e All-in-One Printer, follow these steps:

  2. Open HP Smart and sign in or create an HP account (if required).
  3. Prepare the scanner:
    • Lift the scanner lid and place your document face down on the scanner glass.
    • Align it with the guides on the edges.

    • Click Scan on the HP Smart app.
    • Choose Scanner as the source.

  5. Save the scan:
    • Preview the scanned document, then click Save, Print, or Share as needed.
    • Choose the location to save the file on your computer.

Using Windows Built-in Scanner
