NOTE: In order to use the Scan To button, you must have performed the recommended installation,

and the button must have destinations set. See

In order to use the Start Scan button, the product must be connected to a computer via USB or a network.

Scan directly from the product by using the control-panel scan buttons. Press Start Scan or Scan To to scan to a folder (Windows only) or to scan to e-mail.

Set up the product Scan To button on page 81.

Scan by using other software

The product is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The product works with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices and with Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant scanning devices.

While you are in a TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or the documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.

Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program

Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the program

is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or documentation.

When scanning from a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program might start automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes while previewing the image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN-compliant program immediately.

Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scan from a WIA-compliant program (Windows XP and Vista only)

WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.

80 Chapter 9 Scan ENWW

Page 93

Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is WIA-compliant, see the software program Help or documentation.

Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

-Or-

In the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the product icon. This opens the standard Microsoft WIA Wizard, which enables you to scan to a file.

Scanning by using optical character recognition (OCR) software

You can use third-party OCR software to import scanned text into your preferred word-processing program for editing.

Readiris

The Readiris OCR program is included on a separate CD-ROM that shipped with the product. To use the Readiris program, install it from the appropriate software CD-ROM, and then follow the instructions in the online Help.

Use the Scan To feature

Scanning from the product control panel is only supported with a full software installation.

Scan file format

The file format of a scanned document or photo depends on the scan type as well as the object being scanned.

Scanning a document or a photo to a computer results in the file being saved as a .TIF file.

●

Scanning a document to email results in the file being saved as a .PDF file.

●

Scanning a photo to e-mail results in the file being saved as a .JPEG file.

●

NOTE: Different file types can be selected when using the scan software program.

Scanner resolution and color

If you are printing a scanned image, and the quality is not what you expected, you might have selected a resolution or color setting in the scanner software that does not match your needs. Resolution and color affect the following features of scanned images:

Image clarity

●

Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)

●

Scan time

●

File size

●

Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi).

NOTE: Scanning ppi levels are not interchangeable with printing dpi (dots per inch) levels.

Color, grayscale, and black and white define the number of colors possible. You can adjust the scanner hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software can perform an enhanced resolution up to 19,200 ppi. You can set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray or color) to 24 bit (true color).

The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple tips that you can follow to meet your scanning needs.

NOTE: Setting the resolution and color to a high value can create large files that take up disk space

and slow the scanning process. Before setting the resolution and color, determine how you are going to use the scanned image.

NOTE: The best resolution for color and grayscale images is achieved by scanning from the flatbed

scanner rather than from the automatic document feeder (ADF).
