Use the scan features

Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for
your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text
documents) on the HP All-in-One.
You can use the scanning features of the HP All-in-One to do the following:

Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.

Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your
publishing software.

Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and
including them in e-mail messages.

Create a photographic inventory of your house or office.

Archive treasured photos in an electronic scrapbook.

You can start a scan from your computer or from the HP All-in-One. This section
explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.
To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Mac Software
(Mac) must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.

On a Windows computer, look for the

HP Digital Imaging Monitor

icon in the

Windows system tray (at the lower right side of the screen, near the time) to verify
the software is running.

Note

Closing the

HP Digital Imaging Monitor

icon in the Windows

system tray can cause the HP All-in-One 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.

On a Mac, the software is always running.

Tip

You can use the HP Photosmart Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart

Mac Software (Mac) to scan images, including panorama images. Using this
software, you can also edit, print, and even share your scanned images. For
more information, see the onscreen Help that came with the HP All-in-One.
