•
Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.
•
Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your publishing
software.
•
Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and including
them in e-mail messages.
•
Create a photographic inventory of your house or office.

Scan an original to a computer
You can scan originals placed on the glass by using the control panel.
NOTE:
To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be
connected and turned on. The HP Photosmart Software must also be installed and
running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP Photosmart
Software is running on a Windows computer, look for the HP All-in-One icon in the
system tray at the lower right side of the screen, near the time.
NOTE:
Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system tray
can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality. If this happens,
you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the
HP Photosmart Software.
