If you're using the HP Smart app on your iPad to scan documents, you might encounter some issues. For example, if you're using an iPad with iOS 13.3.1, you might see a problem where the app hangs on the "scanning" word and then displays a message saying there was a problem with the scanning.

To troubleshoot this issue, try closing the app and restarting it. If that doesn't work, you can try uninstalling and reinstalling the HP Smart app.

It's also worth noting that if you're using an iPad to scan with the HP Smart app, you can preview the scan and even crop it before saving. However, if the app fails to scan, you might see a message saying there is no scanner.

If you're experiencing issues with scanning from your iPad, make sure your iPad, printer, and HP Smart app are all up to date.
