5740 HP e-all-in-one printer: how to change the destination for the scans folder

I bought a HP Officejet 5740 e-all-in-one printer I connected wireless to a Win 7 PC. A month later, I added a new win 10 PC in my network (LAN), and I also installed the printer on this new PC. When I went to scan a document using the HP (NO Windows Fax and Scan) print software, the printer asked me which PC to scan to, and I chose the old Win 7 PC. The scanned image went to the folder My Documents\My scans of Win 7 PC, as expected.

Two questions, both assuming I want to use the HP software to scan:

1. is there a way to set a default value of PC to the computer target for digital images?

2. How can I change the folder to which scaned images are sent?

What are the answers to these two Qs if I decide to use Windows Fax and Scan instead of the printer software?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Roy,

Yes, you get a more integrated experience if you install the vs HP software by using the Add method of the printer.   And Yes, you should be able to do much more PC software rather than on the front panel of the unit.    And Yes, the aspect analysis software PC is much better than the Windows Fax & Scan.   Windows Fax Scan & gives a good experience of the box and is sufficient for many, but for those who want to do more, such a framing auto, rotate, reorder pages, etc... the HP scanning software is much better.

I forgot what version of HP comes with your OJ5740 scanning, but we she recently rejected a new more complete solution that comes with the version that installs for your device recommended.   Here is a link where you can get that below.   I recommend you to install the latest web downloadable full version for your device first.   Then install this

HP extended Scan

FTP://FTP.HP.com/pub/scanners/HPScanExt/HPScanExt.msi for Windows.

You'll then have two versions, one called "HP Scan" and the other called "HP Scan extended.   If you find that "HP Scan" looks like 'HP Scan expanded', while the product was the version latest (we drove to this new version about 2 years ago).

  • ENVY 5540 All - In - One Printer: how to change the password want TO 5540 WIFI Direct from HP default to a different password?

    I try the functions on my new 5540 ENVY. Everything is set up and working correctly so far. I just printed a document from my iPad using the WIFI Direct function on the printer successfully. However, the default password on the printer for the WIFI Direct is simply "12345678". Surely, it should be replaced by a more secure password. My friend something printed its iPad - so obviously, this password is not exclusive to me, anyone can print stuff on my printer just for fun and I have a lot of students around me, the problem could become expensive for me and very boring. WIFI Direct signal covers a distance. I contacted HP telephone support, but the process is time consuming and I had to hang up because I had to work. Maybe someone here could give me instructions, and I can change the password when I have free time. I use wifi for internet (cable ethernet only) and the printer connected via USB to the computer. Also, when I turn on my computer (BUT NOT THE ROUTER) on the wireless function, the printer is and what I need to do is enter "12345678" and start printing. There is no guarantee either. Can someone tell me how to change the password for WIFI Direct 5540 envy? Thank you.

    I'm sure that you can change the EWS web page for your printer.

  • HP C6280 All in One Printer: unable to save the scanned document of multi page as on the single Document using the Preview on IMAC computer

    I recently reinstalled my drivers on my IMAC computer to correct some strange characters appearing when printing from Microsoft word via Parallels.  The relocation at this time and the time has fixed this problem.  My most recent issue is not able to save a scanned document of multi page into a document using an excerpt?  In the latest that I had to do was high brightness, scanned documents to be saved and presto, all were saved under one.  Now you have to go save each of them at a time.  If you have a 5-page document, you need to go through the registration process 5 separate time create several documents, which is a big waste of time.  I have also my C6280 DPL 100 size should be a problem, I think.  To correct even any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi @RGrantB3,

    Welcome to the HP Forums! I'd love to help you analyze documents several pages in a single file. When you scan, you select PDF as the format scanning? When you select the PDF file, you should see an option to select, save all pages in a single file, or a variant of this option.

  • I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.

    Original title: new printer

    I replaced a HP with an Epson Stylus all-in-one printer and cannot get the printer to print more than one page when printing from the computer.  The printer works fine when printing from a laptop or ipad!

    Start by going here--> http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/support/supDetail.jsp?UseCookie=yes&oid=232591&prodoid=63099059&infoType=Downloads&platform=nodetect

    If the web page has not correctly detected your operating system, select it by using the drop-down list.  Rather than using the "Combo package" recommended but huge, expand the "Drivers" section and download driver printer v2.32 to a location that you will remember later.

    • Click on the ORB start and go into devices and printers.
    • Select (click) the icon of your Epson printer.
    • Once you have selected the printer, a button labeled "Print server properties" will appear in the toolbar.  Click on this button.
    • Click the "Drivers" tab on the print server properties dialog box.
    • Select the Epson printer in the list of installed printer drivers, and then click 'remove '.
    • In the context menu, select "Remove driver and driver package" and click OK
    • Click Yes, and then delete
    • Once the removal process is complete, restart the computer (probably not really necessary, but can't hurt)
    • Install the driver and the software using the file that you downloaded earlier

    At this point, your printer should work fine.  However, if you want the ability to print by emailing a file to your printer, you may need to install both 'Remote Printer Driver v1.65' in the category 'Pilot' and "v1.30 utility Configuration of printer Epson Connect" in the "Utilities" category

  • HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer - N911a (cannot control the size of the item being analyzed).

    Hi all

    HP Officejet Pro 8600 e-all-in-one printer-N911a, XP operating system. It's all new today and I'm very aware of this new stuff. (I'm older)

    My old Scanner from HP (HP Scanjet G 4010) let me resize my photos or obituaries that I put in a genealogy program. When you try to analyze recent articles in my program, in that I have a small image to the left of the page with the rest of a page 8 x 11 white.

    Is it possible to implement on this 8600 or am I missing something?  Any help or ideas appreciated.

    Thank you

    Glen

    Hi oorwill44,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I understand that you are not able to control the size of the scan, you make your HP Officejet Pro 8600. How did you install the software for your computer that is running Windows XP? How do you scan, you scan the front of the printer, or you use the HP software on the computer?

    Please take a look here: how Scan: Windows XP

    I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions.

    Thank you

  • HP Deskjet 2540 all-in-one: printer stopped connecting to the wifi network

    Hi, my printer has suddenly stopped detecting my wireless network. When I turn on the printer, wireless blue light continues to blink and there is an exclamation point on the screen of the printer. I still have the same wifi network as before and have not changed it or its parameters. I have not physically moved the printer and the wireless works fine for all computers, iPads, and phones.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the HP Utility Set Up software but it couldn't detect the printer to set up.  I also tried running the diagnostic results, but all the results, said 'Not work', 'Not applicable' or 'None'. I can't even an IP address for my printer.

    My laptop can detect the printer if I turn on the wireless Direct button and I connect to this network on my laptop, but that's all. I'd rather connect the printer to the wifi so I can print from all my devices (phone, iPad etc.). The printer is less than 6 months and I do not understand what is the problem with him. Can you please specify?

    Hey @Sue1990,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

    I understand that the all-in-one printer Deskjet 2540 does not connect to your wireless network. I can help you with that.

    To connect the printer to your network again you will need to run the USB cable from the printer to your computer Mac OS x 10.7. This makes the open Applications, Hewlett-Packard and inside this folder you will find a program with a similar name to the installation wizard. If you run this program, then you will find options to connect your printer to your wireless network.

    Please let me know how it works for you and let me know if you have any questions.

    Have a wonderful evening!

  • 4380 all-in-one printer does not detect the print cartridge

    My all-in-one printer (model 4380 vivera, bought in Switzerland) does not detect the print cartridges. I traded the color cartridge with that of another, older than I was and now everything is fine. I don't know when, this problem will arise again. The last time I was so frustrated that I bought another printer (HP 2050) which seems to work without problems. I have unplugged, replugged and clean the cartridges with filtered water. The problem may arise at any time. Help, please. Thank you.

    I'm sorry you have a problem with your ink not detected.

    The problem may be because the printer is of the Switzerland and the ink cartridges are NOT. The printer will only accept cartridges of the same region/country.

    For example, if you are in the United States and buy a printer and the cartridges come from GERMANY, he cannot read. Will suit most, but some of the contacts are different causing not well read the cartridge from the printer.

    El Capitan, before I was able to change the 'Archives' folder in the mail by changing the ArchiveMailboxName property in the ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Accounts.plist as a result file.

    Unfortunately, with El Capitan that has stopped working. The right Mail application does not take into account my changes and keeps using the old folder of archived messages no matter how to customize above setting.

    Does anyone know how to change this setting in El Capitan?

    Background: I use a dedicated folder to Archive each year. So I want to move this folder from Archive.2015 to Archive.2016 that does not work.

    OS X El Capitan (tested with 9.2 Mail), you can directly set in the Mail application:

    1. Select your new folder to archive.
    2. In the menu, choose mailbox > use this mailbox under > archive mailbox.

  • How to change the default folder to scan hp 4680

    Hello

    I want to change the default destination for the scans folder.

    Hi aohp76 ,

    What printer do you have?

    I think that you will have to save the destination for each default shortcut location.

    Example: Photo to create the file save location.

    Saving photo location create e-mail.

    After that they were recorded for each shortcut, software should be failing at this default location for saved.

    If you still have problems with the default location, recording does not, on the Sava to the window Options to save file, check 'interrogate these Options at the time of backup. This will allow at least allows you to select the new destination.

    Most likely, if the software is not to keep the settings by default, the software might has been corrupted.

    Uninstall and reinstall the printer software.

    Please let me know the results.

    Thank you.

  • Printer all in one HP3520 - how to select the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    According to print my wireless network is detected.

    How to connect the! @# % printer $ fo the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    Instructions on the HP site tell me to selet NETWORK on the printer control panel.  Well, there's a way to select the NETWORK from the control panel.  It is not an option for him.

    I downnloaded and installed the latest drivers.

    I have restored the default settings.

    How to select the wireless network and enter the WEP key?

    All of HP's instructions seem to be for a newer printer with a touchscreen.

    I want that the printer is connected to my main computer via the USB port.  I want to be able to print wireless phones and tablets.

    My 3520 is not a 'touch Screen' and it has wifi.

    However, the following work:

    Try to open the HP Deskjet 3520 icon, open the utilities tab, click on convert USB wireless, by following the steps on the screen.

    This leads me to believe that ONLY the wireless doesn't work.  I know now that the part of the sentence "Convert USB to wireless connection" is supposed to mean "works like USB and wireless.
