Converts scanned images into text that can be edited in word-processing programs.
The user interface is localized into six languages. However, the software supports text­recognition in 124 languages.
Readiris Professional supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. You must have your operating system set up 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 v12.0 automatically starts a wizard to help guide this process.
When Readiris is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination drop-down box in the HP Scan software. If you select Readiris as the destination, the image is scanned into .TIFF format and 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 product includes Readiris Professional software.
The user documentation for this product is included on the installation CD as both .CHM (online help) files and Adobe® Acrobat® .PDF files. A Web browser must be installed on the computer to view the contents from any .CHM file. Adobe Acrobat Reader must be installed on the computer to view the contents from any .PDF file.

Driver configuration for Windows

The following printer drivers provide the printing features and communication between the computer and the product:
PCL 6 (on the software CD)
●
PCL 5e universal printer driver (HP UPD) (available on the Web)
●
All of the drivers provide access to paper-handling and print-quality features.
The HP print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in supported environments, provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for product accessories at the time of installation.
Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit.

Driver autoconfiguration

Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication occurs in the following circumstances:
When a print driver is installed by using the installer
●
When using the Update Now feature for a driver that is already installed
●
However, as shown in the following table, driver autoconfiguration and Update Now are not available in Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, or Windows 7 operating systems over a direct connection when the HP LaserJet M1530 product is installed by using the Add Printer wizard.
Table 2-2 Automatic discovery and driver configuration through bidirectional communication
Connection type Add Printer Wizard install Common installer
Network Yes Yes
Direct connection No Yes

The table applies to Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Bidirectional communication

In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.
Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the computer and report information back, such as what type of print paper is available or what accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the HP LaserJet M1530. If the connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.
