automatic photo feeder (APF)
The HP Scanjet 5530 scanner has an automatic photo feeder (APF), which
allows you to scan multiple pictures quickly and easily.
For more information about the APF, see scan pictures from the automatic photo
feeder (APF) in this manual, and in the online help.
transparent materials adapter (TMA)
You can use the transparent materials adapter (TMA) to scan 35 mm slides or
negatives.
For more information about the TMA, refer to how to scan slides and negatives
in this manual and to the online Help.
scanning overview
You can start scanning in one of three ways:
• scan from the scanner's front panel buttons
• scan from the hp director
• scan from other applications
Note: Macintosh users, see the HP Photo & Imaging software Help for
information about scanning procedures.
scan from the scanner's front panel buttons
The front panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used
scanning functions, such as scanning documents and pictures. Descriptions for
using the front panel buttons are located in this manual.
scan from the hp director
Scan from the HP Photo & Imaging Director (HP Director) when you want more
control over your scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the
final scan.
To start the HP Photo & Imaging software, double-click the HP Director icon ( )
on the desktop. The HP Director window appears. From this window you can
scan, view, or print images, use online Help, and more.
If the HP Director icon is not on the desktop, on the Start menu, point to Programs
or All Programs, point to Hewlett-Packard, point to the name of your scanner or
to Scanners, and then click HP Photo & Imaging Director.
scan from other applications
You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your applications if
the application is TWAIN-compliant. Generally, the application is compliant if it
has an option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure
whether the application is compliant or what the option is, see the
documentation for that application.
