Scanning quickly with scanner

buttons

Use the scanner buttons to scan quickly to a destination using settings
optimized for that destination. A destination is a printer, file, or
program, such as your e-mail or word-processing program.
If you are scanning slides or negatives using the HP Scanjet
Transparency Adapter (XPA), you must scan from the HP
Precisionscan Pro software. See

"Scanning from the XPA" on

page 77

.

Scanning to the HP Precisionscan Pro

software

When you use the Scan To button (

), you send directly to the HP

Precisionscan Pro software. Using the HP Precisionscan Pro software,
you can preview scanned images and make changes to the images
before you send them to a destination or file them.

scanner’s LCD window or that the LCD window reads Ready. (Some

Destination button (

in the scanner’s LCD window.
