you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the
HP Photosmart Software.

Edit a scanned document
You can edit a scanned document using your Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software. Scanning text using OCR software enables you to bring the content of magazine
articles, books, and other printed matter into your favorite word processor and many other
applications as editable text. Learning to use OCR software correctly is important if you
want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned text documents to be letter-perfect
the first time you use your OCR software. Using OCR software is an art that takes time
and practice to master.

Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One, provides three options, indicated by one, two, or three stars, that affect
copy speed and quality:
• One star copies faster than the other two quality settings. On plain paper, the text is
comparable to the quality of two stars, but the graphics might be of lower quality. This
setting uses less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.
NOTE: This setting is not available when the HP All-in-One detects photo paper.
•Two stars delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of
your copying. Two stars copies faster than the three stars quality setting.
• Three stars produces the highest quality output for all paper and eliminates the
banding (striping) effect that sometimes  occurs in solid areas. Three stars copies
slower than the other quality settings.
To change the copy quality
1. Load paper in the input tray.
2.Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
