The "disc" message is archaic - these days installation disks to install software are generally not included with the printer (in purchase box).  Software, How-to, Troubleshooting, "things that are your printer" are all available on line in your printer's support website.

 

From the subject line in your thread / post:

The scan setup is not complete for this operation - the message is a reminder to first install the appropriate software to complete the task.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Read

User Guide

Start in the Scan section on Page 27

 

Suggestion

If you are not already familiar with Scan operations, please do take the time to read the entire chapter.

 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, there are instructions to download / install / use the HP Smart Application.

 

Note the different versions of the "Smart" software used - which one you need depends on your Operating System (unknown / "other").

 

Note, too, that there is currently no Linux support for this operation, though there may be a Linux style solution for particular flavors / versions of Linux OS.
