## Scan with HP Smart

**1. Open the Scan tile**

In the HP Smart app, tap the **Scan** tile on the home screen.

**2. Choose the scan source**

Select **Camera** to scan with your phone, or **Scanner** to scan from the printer's flatbed or document feeder.

**3. Capture or load the original**

Put the document face-down on the scanner glass or face-up in the document feeder.

**2. Select Scan on the panel**

On the printer's touchscreen or buttons, choose **Scan**.

## Print a test or status report

**1. Open HP Smart or printer settings**

In the HP Smart app, go to your printer and look for **Print Quality Report** or **Printer Status Report**. On Windows or Mac, you can also print a test page from **Printer Properties** or **Printers & Scanners** settings.

**2. Print the report**

Follow the prompts to print. The report shows ink levels, alignment, and connection status.

> [!TIP]
