HP Officejet J3680 All-in-One Printer - Manual (Page 47)

5 Scan
You can scan originals and send them to a variety of destinations, such as a folder on
the network or a program on a computer. You can use the control panel, the HP photo
and imaging software, and TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant programs on a computer.
This section contains the following topics:
• Scan an original
• Scan from a TWAIN-compliant or a WIA-compliant program
• Edit a scanned original
• Change scan settings
• Cancel a scan job
Scan an original
You can start a scan from a computer or from the control panel.
NOTE: You can also use the HP Photosmart Software to scan an image. Using this
software, you can edit a scanned image and create special projects using a scanned
image. For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust,
resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Photosmart
Software Help that came with your software.
To use the scan features, your device and computer must be connected and turned on.
The printer software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to
scanning. To verify that the printer software is running on a computer running Windows,
look for the device icon in the system tray at the lower-right side of the screen, near the
clock. To verify this on a computer using the Mac OS, open the HP Device Manager, and
click Scan Picture. If a scanner is available, it will launch the HP ScanPro application. If
it is not available, a message appears to let you know that a scanner was not found.
NOTE: Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in your Windows system tray
can cause your device to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the No
Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by
restarting your computer or by starting the HP Photosmart Software.
Scan an original to a program on a computer
Use the following steps if your device is directly connected to a computer via a USB cable.
When the scan is complete, the program that you have selected opens and displays the
document that you have scanned.
To send a scan to a program on a computer from the HP photo and imaging
software
1. At the computer, open the HP photo and imaging software. For more information, see
