The printer does not need to be connected to the network for this mobile walk-up printing to work.
Use Wi-Fi Direct Print to print wirelessly from the following devices:
●iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using Apple AirPrint
●Android mobile devices using the Android embedded print solution
For more information on wireless printing, go to www.hp.com/go/LaserJetMobilePrinting.
NFC, BLE, and Wi-Fi Direct Print capabilities can be enabled or disabled from the printer control panel.

Set up Scan to Network Folder
Set up the Scan to Folder feature to scan documents directly to network folder.
Introduction
This section explains how to enable and congure the Scan to Network Folder function. The printer has a feature
that enables it to scan a document and save it to a network folder. To use this scan feature, the printer must be
connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been congured. There are two methods
for conguring Scan to Network Folder, the Save to Network Folder Setup Wizard for basic setup and Save to
Network Folder Setup for advanced setup.
Before you begin
Have the following items available before you set up the Scan to Network feature.
NOTE: To set up the Scan to Network Folder feature, the printer must have an active network connection.
Administrators need the following items before beginning the conguration process.
Administrative access to the printer.
●
●The fully-qualied domain name (FQDN) (e.g., \\servername.us.companyname.net\scans) of the destination
folder OR the IP address of the server (e.g., \\16.88.20.20\scans).
NOTE: The use of the term "server" in this context refers to the computer where the shared folder resides.
Step one: Access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS)
Open the EWS to start the setup process.
1.From the Home screen on the printer control panel, touch the Information icon , and then touch the
Ethernet icon to display the IP address or host name.
2.Open a web browser, and in the address line, type the IP address or host name exactly as it displays on the
printer control panel. Press the Enter key on the computer keyboard. The EWS opens.
NOTE: If the web browser displays a message indicating that accessing the website might not be safe,
select the option to continue to the website. Accessing this website will not harm the computer.
Set up Scan to Network Folder

Step two: Set up Scan to Network Folder
Set up Scan to Network Folder using one of the following methods.
Method one: Use the Scan to Network Folder Wizard
Use this option for basic conguration of the Save to Network Folder feature using the Scan to Network Folder
wizard.
NOTE: Before you begin: To display the printer's IP address or host name, touch the Information icon , and
then touch the Network icon on the printer's control panel.
1.Using the EWS top navigation tabs, click Scan/Digital Send tab. The Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick
Setup Wizards dialog opens.
2.In the left navigation pane, click Email and Scan to Network Folder Quick Setup Wizards.
3.Click the Save to Network Folder Quick Set Wizard link.
4.On the Add or Remove a Save to Network Folder Quick Set dialog, click Add.
NOTE: Quick Sets are shortcut jobs that can be accessed on the printer Home screen or within the Quick
Sets application.
NOTE: The Save to Network Folder feature can be minimally congured without creating a quick set.
However, without the Quick Set, users must enter the destination folder information at the control panel for
each scan job. A quick set is required to include Save to Network Folder metadata.
82
5.On the Add Folder Quick Set dialog, complete the following information:
a.In the Quick Set Title eld, type a title.
NOTE: Name the Quick Set something that users can understand quickly (e.g., "Scan and save to a

The folder path can either be the fully-qualied domain name (FQDN) or the IP address of the server.
Be sure that the folder path (e.g., \scans) follows the FQDN or IP address.
NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via DHCP,
the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster because the
printer does not need to use DNS to nd the destination server.
b.From the Authentication Settings drop-down, select one of the following options:
●Use credentials of user to connect after Sign In at the control panel
Always use these credentials
●
NOTE: If Always use these credentials is selected, a user name and password must be entered in

NOTE: The FQDN can be more reliable than the IP address. If the server gets its IP address via
DHCP, the IP address can change. However, the connection with an IP address might be faster
because the printer does not need to use DNS to nd the destination server.

(default is “Workgroup”), a user name, and password must be entered in the corresponding elds.
However, if the folder is within a particular user’s folders and not Public, the user name and
password of that user must be used.
NOTE: An IP address might be necessary instead of a computer name. Many home routers do
not handle computer names well, and there is no Domain Name Server (DNS). In this case, it is
best to set up a static IP address on the shared PC to alleviate the problem of DHCP assigning a
new IP address. On a typical home router, this is done by setting a static IP address that is on the
same subnet, but outside the DHCP address range.
