automatic photo feeder (APF)

The HP Scanjet 5530 scanner has an automatic photo feeder (APF), which allows you to scan multiple pictures quickly and easily.

For more information about the APF, see scan pictures from the automatic photo

feeder (APF) in this manual, and in the online help.

transparent materials adapter (TMA)

You can use the transparent materials adapter (TMA) to scan 35 mm slides or negatives.

For more information about the TMA, refer to how to scan slides and negatives in this manual and to the online Help.

scanning overview

You can start scanning in one of three ways:

• scan from the scanner's front panel buttons

• scan from the hp director

• scan from other applications Note: Macintosh users, see the HP Photo & Imaging software Help for

information about scanning procedures.

scan from the scanner's front panel buttons

The front panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used scanning functions, such as scanning documents and pictures. Descriptions for using the front panel buttons are located in this manual.

how to use the scanner

scan from the hp director

Scan from the HP Photo & Imaging Director (HP Director) when you want more control over your scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.

To start the HP Photo & Imaging software, double-click the HP Director icon ( ) on the desktop. The HP Director window appears. From this window you can scan, view, or print images, use online Help, and more.

If the HP Director icon is not on the desktop, on the Start menu, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Hewlett-Packard, point to the name of your scanner or to Scanners, and then click HP Photo & Imaging Director.

scan from other applications

You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your applications if the application is TWAIN-compliant. Generally, the application is compliant if it has an option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the application is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that application.
