can it do scan via wireless / wired network ?

[prrcomputers]

@Le0Heart Yes, scanning works over either kind of network. If network scanning is a big part of your interest, I highly recommend checking out the HP OfficeJet 8600. It's in this same product line, but the network scanning is even easier than in this video due to some software improvements. In fact, I think the 8600 might have the most user-friendly network scanning process I have ever seen.

Can you save in Evernote.

[prrcomputers]

@gilluminati I don't believe this HP can scan directly into Evernote, but you can scan to PDF or JPG and then import that into Evernote, yes. I believe you have to be a Premium user to import PDFs, but I could be wrong.
