Step-by-Step Scanning Guide

Follow these steps to scan your document or photo:

  1. Load Your Document:

    • Place your document face up in the automatic document feeder (ADF) if your printer has one and you are scanning multiple pages or a single page this way.
    • Alternatively, place a single document or photo face down on the scanner glass, aligning it with the indicators provided on the printer.

  2. Access HP Printer Assistant:

    • Open the HP Printer Assistant software on your computer. This application is usually installed along with your printer drivers. You can typically find it by searching for your printer model name in the Windows Start menu or by looking for an HP folder in your applications list.

  3. Initiate the Scan:

    • Within the HP Printer Assistant software, navigate to the Scan section.
    • From the scan options, select Scan a Document or Photo. This will open the scanning interface.

  4. Adjust Scan Settings:

    • Before scanning, you may need to adjust settings such as:
      • Scan resolution (DPI)
      • Color or grayscale
      • Document type (Document, Photo)
      • File format (PDF, JPEG, PNG, etc.)
      • Destination folder on your computer
    • Make any necessary adjustments based on your requirements.

  5. Start Scanning:

    • Once your settings are configured, click the Scan button in the software interface.
    • Your printer will begin scanning the document loaded in the feeder or on the glass.
    • The scanned image will be processed and saved to the location you specified on your computer.

This process provides a straightforward way to digitize your physical documents and photos using the dedicated HP software designed for your Laser MFP.
