HP Officejet 5605 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 60)

6 Use the scan features
This chapter contains information on scanning to an application on your computer or
to an HP Instant Share destination.
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text
documents), as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on your HP All-in-One.
Note On a Mac, you can change the HP Scan Pro default scan settings. For
more information, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help .
Scan an image
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP All-in-One. This section
explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.
For information about 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.
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 icon in the Windows
system tray. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is always running.
Note Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system
tray 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.
Scan an original to a computer
You can scan originals placed on the glass directly from the control panel, or from the
document feeder tray.
1.
Load your original print side down on the left front corner of the glass or print side
up in the document feeder tray.
2. Press Scan , if it is not already lit.
The Scan To menu appears on the control panel display.
3. Press OK to select the default application to receive the scan, or use the arrow
buttons to highlight a different application, and then press OK .
Tip To force the scan to be in black and white, press Start Black instead
of pressing OK .
A preview image of the scan appears in the HP Scanning (Windows) or HP Scan
Pro (Mac) window on the computer, where you can edit it.
