Overview of the HP software
●
The HP Director provides easy access to the software applications, default
settings, status, and on-screen help for your HP device. By using the HP
Director, you can scan various types of originals (pictures, slides, negatives,
and documents), make copies, view and print images or video clips, go to
the HP Shopping website, and update your HP software.
●
The HP Image Zone provides tools for managing your still photos, scanned
images, and video clips. You can easily edit and print your images, use
them in various projects, and share them with family and friends.
●
Using the HP Scanning software, you can scan items such as pictures,
slides, negatives, and documents, and then save them or send them to a
destination of your choice (such as a software application or file). The
software gives you the option of previewing images before the final scan
takes place. While previewing, you can adjust the image to achieve the final
effect that you want. The software also allows you to configure scan settings.
● The HP Copy software sends scanned images directly to your printer.

Scanning overview
Note
Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software on-screen help for
information about scanning procedures.
Tip High resolution is usually only necessary when attempting to increase the
size of very small images (for instance, scanning a stamp-sized image, or
scanning 35 mm negatives or color slides and enlarging them to A4 size).
In most cases, optimal scanning can be achieved by adjusting the
resolution of the scan to a resolution appropriate for the intended use of the
image. Scanning at a resolution higher than necessary only increases your
file size, slows down printing, and in some cases makes the image
impossible to print on a particular printer. For more information, open the
HP Director software, select your scanner in the Select Device list, click
Help, and in the HP Image Zone software on-screen help, see the HP
Scanjet scanner on-screen help.
Scans from the glass directly to the default
printer to make copies.
You can start scanning in one of three ways:
●
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 pictures, slides, negatives, and
documents. Descriptions for using the front panel buttons are located in this
manual (see Front panel and accessories overview).
●
Scan from the HP Director
Scan from the HP Director software when you want more control of your
scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.

Scan from other applications
You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your applications
if the application is TWAIN or WIA-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.
