HP Extended Capabilities

When installing the device, you have the option of participating in HP's voluntary program for communication between your system and HP. This feature, available through software that is included on the software CD, helps HP monitor toner usage.

If you select the option to participate, you receive an invitation about two weeks after installation. It contains full disclosure of the information to be communicated. Participation is entirely voluntary, and the impact on processing and connecting speed is negligible. Personal information is never sent to HP without permission. TCP/IP addresses are used only to enable the connection and for security purposes.

Figure 2-13 HP Extended Capabilities screen

Software description

If you decline the invitation, the dialog box does not appear again and no data is gathered.

HP Status Application

Status will be reported in two ways:

In the standard MS Windows spooler

●

By using the HP Status Application, which provides a more user-friendly method of viewing the

●

status of the device and the print job

The HP Status Application relays device status through the input/output (I/O) communication interface.

Software description

The HP Status Application will provide pop-up error status messages from the time the printer driver is sending data to the device until the device has completed processing the print data. This includes printing all of the pages and the device going back to a ready state.

Scanning methods

Scan from the HP LaserJet device by using any of the following methods.

From a computer. Click Start, select Programs, select HP, select the name of the device, and

●

then click M1120 MFP Scan To.

From a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant software program. Check the Help system in the software

●

program to learn how to scan from a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant scanner from within that program.

From the Camera and Scanner Wizard on Windows XP. In MS Windows XP, click Start, click

●

Control Panel, double-click Scanners and Cameras, and then double-click the HP LaserJet device scanner icon. The Camera and Scanner Wizard appears. Follow the onscreen directions to save your scanned item to a file.

HP LaserJet Scan software

Software description

Use the HP LaserJet Scan software to scan from the HP LaserJet device or to read from a file, and then complete any of the following tasks with the data:

Save the scanned item to a file.

●

Attach the scanned item to an e-mail.

●

Open the scanned item with any third-party software program that supports the drag-and-drop

●

function.

Perform text recognition on the scanned item through Readiris (if Readiris text-recognition software

●

is installed on the computer).

The HP LaserJet Scan software is set up to scan by default , but the General tab does provide an override to save a scanned item to a file. This is helpful both for testing when a scanner is not available and for converting existing files into some other output file type. The following file types are currently supported:

.BMP

●

.GIF

●

.JPG

●

.PDF

●

.TIFF (both regular and compressed)

●

ENWW Scanning software 29

Readiris supports the following output file types:

●

.DCA

●

The HP LaserJet Scan software is composed of a simple user interface that provides a Where should the data go? drop-down menu, a Scan button, a Cancel button, and a Settings... button.

Figure 2-15 hp LaserJet Scan dialog box

The Where should the data go? drop-down menu contains any user-defined Quick Sets and the following default destinations:

Save it to a file

●

Send it through e-mail

●

Send it to another software program

●

Send it to the Readiris OCR software (if Readiris software is installed)

●

Click Settings... to open a more detailed property dialog box called the Scan Settings dialog box, which contains options to change the scan settings. The tabs that are available in the Scan Settings dialog box depend on the destination that you select on the Where should the data go? drop-down menu. For example, the E-mail tab appears only if the selected destination is Send it through e-mail. Quick Sets are also available to store settings that are used on a regular basis.

30 Chapter 2 Software description ENWW

Figure 2-16 Scan Settings dialog box

If you do not change any settings in the Scan Settings dialog box, the HP LaserJet Scan software prompts for any needed information, such as a filename if sending the scanned item to a file folder or an e-mail address if sending the scanned item in e-mail. If you specify an e-mail address in the Scan Settings dialog box before scanning the item, the e-mail is sent automatically without the new-message dialog box opening.

Software description

E-mail

Because the Scan Settings dialog box contains only a limited set of variables, more functionality is available when using command-line arguments.

Every time the HP LaserJet Scan software is used, an HPPSCAN2.LOG file is generated within the current user's temporary directory. The HPPSCAN2.LOG file develops a log of operations and aids in troubleshooting problems.

Scanning to a file sends the scanned image to a MY SCANS directory in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.

CAUTION: If you move the My Documents folder, the My Scans folder does not follow to the new

location. It remains hard-coded to the current-user's home, and scan jobs continue to be stored there.

Selecting the third-party destination option saves the scanned image to a file of the specified file type. The HP LaserJet Scan software then starts the specified software program by appending the filename to the software filename. Because the HP LaserJet Scan software does not support automatic discovery of software programs, specify the correct software program and specify a file type that the program supports. The HP LaserJet Scan software opens when the filename is passed as a command-line argument.

The HP LaserJet software for MS Windows supports only 32-bit messaging application programming interface-(MAPI-) compliant e-mail programs, and does not support Internet-based e-mail programs such as Hotmail or Yahoo. The following table lists some examples of supported e-mail programs.

ENWW Scanning software 31

Table 2-1 Supported e-mail programs

Program Name MS Windows OS Macintosh OS

Microsoft Entourage Mac OS X

Microsoft Outlook Yes; Outlook 97, Outlook 98, Outlook 2000, Outlook XP Mac OS X

Microsoft Outlook Express Yes

Lotus Notes Yes; V3.0 and later

Software description

E-mail is always sent through the default e-mail client. To identify the default e-mail client in MS Windows XP (the path varies for other MS Windows operating systems), click Start, click Settings, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Options, click Internet Options, click the Programs tab, and look at the E-mail setting.

Sending a scan to e-mail generally uses the simple MAPI protocol. If the e-mail address is added before scanning, extended MAPI can be used to avoid security messages while the program tries to send the e-mail automatically. Setting a MapiLevel registry key forces the scan program to always use either simple or extended MAPI. This might be required if scanning to e-mail fails even when the default email client is set up correctly.

Scan drivers

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series software includes the following integrated scan drivers.

TWAIN driver

●

Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver

●

TWAIN driver

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series software includes a TWAIN driver user interface that provides great flexibility and a wide range of image-quality options. TWAIN is an industry standard scanning protocol. Initiate scans from the HP LaserJet device by using any TWAIN-compliant program.

TWAIN compatibility

TWAIN-compliant programs acquire documents directly from the HP LaserJet device. Programs that follow the TWAIN standards should work.

NOTE: HP LaserJet devices support the required core functions for TWAIN compliance, but have only

limited support for extended TWAIN options.

TWAIN scanning does not work with some programs

For programs that are not TWAIN-compliant, use the following process as a workaround.

1. Use the HP LaserJet Scan software to scan the document, in .TIFF format (or any other file type

that the software supports), into a folder.

2. Import the .TIFF file into the program.

Additional information about TWAIN

Optional software

This section describes third-party software programs that the device supports.

Text-recognition software

The device software has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition is also available through the third-party software program Readiris, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the device.

About text-recognition reliability

Text-recognition software turns an image into computer-editable text by analyzing the image and defining the characters. The accuracy obtained through text-recognition software depends on the quality, size, and structure of the original document, and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain the best possible results when using text-recognition software, use the following guidelines:

Scan directly from the text-recognition software.

●

Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger.

●

Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting.

●

Scan images squarely.

●

Make sure that the pages are free of extraneous marks.

●

Software description

Maximize the scanning resolution. Use a minimum of 300 dpi.

●

Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that "bleed" along their

●

edges, or that touch other letters do not work well. Text that is aligned closely to nontext items, such as graphics, might also degrade text-recognition results.

Fine-tune the amount of black and white on scanned images. See the user guide for information.

●

Avoid scanning from thin paper that has information printed on the back side. The information on

●

the back can bleed through.

Even when following these recommendations, less-than-perfect image results can occur. This is because text-recognition technology is evolving and is still less than perfect.

Readiris text-recognition software

The Readiris Professional V11.0 text-recognition software by IRIS converts scanned images into text that can be edited in word-processing programs.

NOTE: The Readiris CD is not set up at fulfillment. The CD is available from Global Support

Organization (GSO) or HP Parts in accordance with contractual and licensing agreements.

The Readiris user interface is available in the following languages:

Dutch

●

English

●

French

●

German

●

ENWW Optional software 49

Software description

Italian

●

Korean

●

Portuguese-Brazillian

●

Simplified Chinese

●

Spanish

●

NOTE: Readiris can perform text recognition (also known as optical character recognition, or OCR)

in 124 languages.

Readiris Professional V11.0 supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. Set the operating system to display 2-byte characters in order to see the text.

NOTE: For better text-recognition scanning results, start Readiris and scan directly into the program.

Readiris Professional V11.0 automatically starts a wizard to guide this process.

When Readiris is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination dropdown box in the HP Scan software. Select Readiris as the destination to scan the image into .TIFF format. Readiris automatically starts the text-recognition process.

The Readiris software uses a separate installer that comes on a separate CD. The initial release of the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series includes Readiris Professional (V11.0 for MS Windows, V11.5 for Macintosh) software.

Host-based driver

Introduction to host-based printing

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP is a host-based device. Host-based printing differs from PCL printing by computing the print job on the host computer rather than computing it in the device formatter. The following illustration shows how the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP Series printing-system software works.

Figure 4-1 HP LaserJet M1120 MFP host-based driver overview

features for MS Windows

Host-based driver

As a host-based printing system, the HP LaserJet M1120 MFP print driver uses MS Windows to convert the graphics device interface (GDI) or device driver interface (DDI) calls from software programs into JBIG (standard-compression) compressed pages. These pages are sent in “chunks” through the driver to the device formatter.

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP print driver also receives status messages from the formatter firmware. These messages are passed to the Status Application, which displays them.

The HP LaserJet M1120 MFP formatter has 2 MB of read-only memory (ROM) and 32 MB of random access memory (RAM). Both the firmware and the compressed page must fit into the 32 MB of RAM.
