For more information about tasks and settings described in this section, see the HP Director online Help.
Scanning tasks
To scan to a software program, scan an item using the program itself. Any TWAIN-compliant program
can scan an image. If the program is not TWAIN-compliant, save the scanned image to a file then place,
open, or import the file in the software program. For more information, see 
Scan using TWAIN-compliant
and WIA-compliant software.
Use page-by-page scanning

							Scan using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant
software
The MFP is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Acquisition (WIA)-compliant for Windows XP and
beyond. The MFP also supports TWAIN-compliant Macintosh applications.
Use TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software
When in a TWAIN-enabled or WIA-enabled program, access 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 the TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.
Scan from a TWAIN-enabled program
NOTEThe Windows and Macintosh device software complies with TWAIN Version 1.9
requirements.
Generally, a software program is TWAIN-enabled if it has a command such as Acquire, File
Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. When uncertain whether or not the
program is compliant or do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or
documentation.
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-enabled program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
Scan from a WIA-enabled program (Windows XP 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 scanning software.
Generally, a software program is WIA-enabled 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-enabled, see the
software program Help or documentation.
●Start the scan from within the WIA-enabled program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
●In the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the device icon. This opens the standard WIA-
enabled software program, which enables a file to be scanned.
Scan by using optical character recognition (OCR) software
Third-party OCR software (available on a separate CD-ROM) is available to import scanned text into
the preferred word-processing program for editing.
Readiris
The MFP software includes a separate CD-ROM for the Readiris PRO 10 OCR software. To use the
Readiris program, install it from the appropriate software CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the
online Help.

Scan a photo
1.Place the photo on the flatbed scanner with the picture-side down and the upper-left corner of the
photo in the lower-right corner of the glass.
2.Gently close the lid.
3. Scan the photo using one of the scanning methods. See 
Scan methods  for more information.
Scan edge-to-edge originals
For information about copying and scanning edge-to-edge originals, see 
Copy edge-to-edge originals .
Cancel a scan job
To cancel a scan job, use one of these procedures.
● On the control panel, press 
Cancel.
● Click 
Cancel  in the onscreen dialog box.
When canceling a scan job, remove the original from the flatbed scanner.
NOTE These procedures vary with Macintosh operating systems.
Scanner resolution and color
To improve the print resolution or color for a scanned image, select a resolution or color setting that
matches your needs in the scanner software. Resolution and color affect the following features of
scanned images:
●Image clarity
● Texture of gradations (smooth or rough)
● Scan time
● File size
ENWW Scan using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software 85
 
						

							Scanning resolution is measured in pixels per inch (ppi). Color, grayscale, and black and white define
the number of colors possible. Adjust the scanner hardware resolution to up to 1200 ppi. The software
can perform an enhanced resolution up to 19,200 ppi. Also, set color and grayscale at 1 bit (black and
white), or at 8 bit (256 levels of gray) to 24 bit (true color).
The resolution and color guidelines table lists simple scanning tips.
NOTESetting 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 the
scanned image is being used.
Resolution and color guidelines
This table describes the recommended resolution and color settings for different types of scan jobs.
