Use the scan features

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles, text
documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass
on your HP All-in-One.
You can use the scanning features of your HP All-in-One to do the following:
●

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, or archive treasured
photos in an electronic scrapbook.

To use the scan features, your HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a
Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor in the system tray at the
lower right side of the screen, near the time. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is
always running.

Note

Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause your HP All-in-

One to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the

No Connection

error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting
your computer or by starting the

HP Image Zone

software.

For information on how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate,
crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen

HP Image Zone Help

that came with

your software.
This chapter contains information on: sending a scan to and from different
destinations, and adjusting the preview image.
