Edit a scanned document
Scanning text (also known as optical characte r recognition or OCR) enables you to bring
the content of magazine articles, books, and other printed matter into your favorite word
processor and many other programs as fully editable text. Learning to work with OCR
correctly is important if you want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned text
documents to be letter-perfe ct the first time you use your OCR software. Using OCR
software is an art that takes time and practice to master.
NOTE: If you are using HP Photosmart Essential, the Optical Character Recognition
(OCR) software might not be installed on your computer. To install the OCR software,
you must re-insert the software disk and select  OCR under the  Custom installation

Change copy speed or quality
The HP All-in-One provides four options that affect copy speed and quality:
• Maximum Resolution  produces the highest quality for all paper.  Maximum
Resolution  copies slower than the other quality settings.
• Best  produces high quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping) effect
that sometimes occu rs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the  Normal or Fast
quality settings.
• Normal  delivers high quality and is the recommended setting for most of your
copying.  Normal copies faster than  Best and is the default setting.
• Fast  copies faster than the  Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of
the  Normal  setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The  Fast setting uses
less ink and extends the life of your ink cartridges.
To change the copy quality from the control panel
1. Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
