Hello,

You may change the default settings by changing the default scan shortcuts from the HP software:

 

Open the printer software (your hp printer) and select Scan a document or Photo.

Click the Advanced Settings button for the used shortcut and select the destination folder within the Destination tab.

Click OK and then click the Scan button.

Once completing the scan job the settings should be kept for the specific shortcut once using it from the front panel as well.
