Re: Scanner will not save to computer
By default, the HP all-in-one sends all
scans to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery for you to preview. Suppose
that you want to scan your photos directly to email instead. To do this
you will need to modify the destination assigned to the front panel
scan button. Here is how to do it:
-
If you have not already done so, open the HP Director and click
Settings
, point to
Scan Settings & Preferences
, and click
Scan to… Setup
.
The
Button Settings dialog box appears, with the Destination List tab on
top. The HP all-in-one automatically inventories your computer and
lists all the possible scan destinations for you in the Available Scan
Destinations list.
-
Using our example of scanning directly to email, select the
Email
destination in the
Front Panel Destination List
and click the
Move
arrow to move it to the top of the listing.
-
Click
OK
to save the new destination setting and close the dialog box.
All
of the scans you do using the HP all-in-one front panel buttons will
now be sent directly to your email program, instead of to the HP Photo
& Imaging Gallery.
-
Click
Scan Picture
or
Scan Document
in the HP Director to scan using your new settings, or click a
Scan
button on the HP all-in-one front panel.
also
Setting a default scan profile
Use the following steps to apply a scan profile to all future scans.
-
If you have not already done so, open the HP Director and click
Settings
, and click
Scan Settings and Preferences
.
-
Click one of the following, depending on the type of scan profile:
-
Scan Picture Settings
-
Scan Document Settings
-
Button Settings
The corresponding dialog box appears. If you chose
Scan Picture Settings
or
Scan Document Settings
, the Scan Settings tab is on top. If you chose
Button Settings
, the Scan Button tab is on top. All of these tabs have the setting you need,
Apply Scan Profile
.
-
On the Scan Settings or Scan Button tab, click
Apply Scan Profile
and select the scan profile that you want.
-
Click
OK
.
The scan profile that you selected will apply to all future scans for the scan type that you selected.
