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
• 3D objects (be careful not to scratch the glass) to put into catalogs
and flyers
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring
it into your word processor or graphics program and modify it to suit your
needs. You can do the following:
• Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a
report, saving you a lot of retyping.
• Scan in a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to
print business cards and brochures for yourself.
• Scan in photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an
electronic scrapbook.
Tip! To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer
must be connected and turned on. The HP PSC software must
also be installed and running on your computer prior to
scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on
Windows, look for a status icon in the system tray. On a
Macintosh, the HP PSC software is always running.
For more information about scanning your documents or pictures from the
HP PSC software, see scan pictures and documents in the HP Photo &
Imaging Help for more information.
