Scanning by using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software

The device is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The
device works with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant
scanning devices.

Note

If the software program you are using is not TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant, see

Scanning to another software program

.

Using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software

While you are in a TWAIN-enabled or WIA-enabled program, you can gain access to the
scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see
the Help file or the documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant
software program.

Scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program

Generally, a software program is TWAIN-enabled if it has a command such as Acquire, File
Acquire
, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the
program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software
program Help or documentation.

When scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program, the HP LaserJet Scan software might start
automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan software starts, you can make changes while you are
previewing the image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the
TWAIN-enabled program immediately.

To scan from a TWAIN-enabled program

Start the scan from within the TWAIN-enabled program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scanning from a WIA-enabled program (Windows XP only)

WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft®
Word. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.

Generally, a software program is WIA-enabled if it has a command such as Picture/From
Scanner or Camera
in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is
WIA-enabled, see the software program Help or documentation.

To scan from a WIA-enabled program

Start the scan from within the WIA-enabled program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

OR

In the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the device icon. This opens the standard
WIA-enabled software program, which enables you to scan to a file.
