Scan from other software programs
You can scan an image directly into one of your software programs if the program is
TWAIN compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as
Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the program is
compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.
Preview a scanned image
If you want to preview the scanned image, either begin the scan from the HP Solution
