Looks like the scan options for this printer do not include a "Scan"  button on the printer.

 

There are lots of alternatives using your browser (Webscan) or using printer software or applications on your Windows 10 computer.

 

For example - Webscan - no additional printer software required:

 

Webscan – located in the Embedded Web Server (EWS) – No additional software

NOTE:  Webscan feature  is not available on Laser printers

If the printer is on the network,

If the EWS feature is available on your printer,

  • Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar
  • Tab Settings > Security > Administrator Settings > make sure Webscan is checked / enabled
  • Click Apply to save any changes

Next

  • Tab Scan > Webscan 
  • Set up Webscan the way you want it - for example, set the Source to ADF - Scan a test document using Webscan
