Scan from a WIA-compliant program
WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program. WIA uses Microsoft software
to scan, instead of the HP Scan software.
Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant 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-
compliant, see the software program Help or documentation.
Start the scan from within the WIA-compliant program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.
-Or-
From the Windows control panel, in the Cameras and Scanner folder (located inside the
Hardware and Sound folder for Windows Vista and Windows 7), double-click the product icon.
This opens the standard Microsoft WIA Wizard, which enables you to scan to a file.
Scan by using optical character recognition (OCR) software
To import scanned text into your preferred word-processing program for editing, open the HP Scan
software and select the shortcut named Save as Editable Text (OCR).
You can also use third-party OCR software. The Readiris Pro OCR program is included on a separate
CD that shipped with the product. To use the Readiris Pro program, install it from the appropriate
software CD, and then follow the instructions in the online Help.
Cancel a scan
To cancel a scan job, use one of the following procedures.
● On the product control panel, touch the Cancel button.
● Select and delete the job from the status bar after the time-out occurs.
