This scanner is supported through the AirScan (eSCL) protocol, so it is necessari to install the sane-airscan Debian package to allow the scanimage program to access the scanner itself.

It is possibile to autodetect the scanner when the multi function printer is powered on and connected to the local network:

scanimage -L
device `escl:https://192.168.3.3:443' is a HP C4D8F8963CC (HP Color Laser MFP 178 179) platen,adf scanner

A typical command line to scan from the flatbed is:

scanimage --device-name 'escl:https://192.168.3.3:443' \
    --buffer-size=1M --format=tiff \
    --batch='page_%03d.tif' --batch-start 1 --batch-count 1 \
    --mode 'Color' \
    --resolution='300' \
    --source='Flatbed'

Scanning through the automatic document feeder can be accomplished with the command:

scanimage --device-name 'escl:https://192.168.3.3:443' \
    --buffer-size=1M --format=tiff \
    --batch='page_%03d.tif' --batch-start 2 \
    --mode 'Color' \
    --resolution='300' \
    --source='ADF'
