Use the scan features
To use the scan features, your HP OfficeJet and PC must be connected.
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for your
PC, and then using the converted items for professional and personal projects.
•
Professional uses: Scan text from an article you read, and bring it into your word
processor so you can quote it in your report. Include pictures of your product in
your brochure. Put your logo onto business cards that you print yourself.
• Personal uses: Scan pictures of your kids, and use the images in greeting cards (or
e-mail the images to their grandparents). Put a photographic inventory of your
house or office on a disk, and store it in a safe place.
You can scan just about anything, such as:
•
Photos - to send out or place in documents.
• Magazine articles - to store on your PC.
• Text documents - to avoid retyping.
• 3D objects (be careful not to scratch the glass) - to put into catalogs and flyers.
For comprehensive information, see the fully searchable Onscreen Guide. To access the
guide, go to the Director, click Help, and choose Onscreen Guide.
