The Scan to Folder feature allows you to scan a document directly to network folder. The printer must be
connected to a network, and the Scan to Folder feature must be set up by a network administrator before it can
be used.
Introduction
There are two methods for conguring Scan to network folder, the Scan to Network Folder Wizard (Windows),
which is installed in the HP program group for the printer as part of the full software installation, and the
Network Folder Setup through the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS).

about the network path and destination folder. The printer must have an active network connection to the same
network as the computer that will run the setup process.

work.
