HP Printers and Scanners - Scan documents using the HP JetAdvantage Capture app from an Android, iOS, and Windows 10 operating systems

HP JetAdvantage Capture is a free mobile app that allows you to scan or capture documents or photos using an Android phone, iPhone, or Windows 10 Universal Windows Platform (UWP), and then sends the scan job to a compatible HP printer or scanner that is connected to the same network as your mobile device, or scan files directly to cloud destinations.

This app provides the following features:

• acquire scanned files and images from HP Multifunction Printers, HP ScanJet Scanners, and mobile or handheld integrated cameras.
• create shortcuts for frequently used capture settings, email or cloud destinations.
• digitize common scan or camera image workflows, such as Scan to Email or Scan to Cloud Destinations.
  Scan to cloud destinations include iCloud, Dropbox, and Google Drive.
• modify scanned images with automatic document processing features such as autocorrection, image quality, orientation, and page borders to give precise images with clear and readable text.

Some of the options and images in this document will vary depending on the operating system.
