Use the scan features

You can use the scanning features of your HP All-in-One to do the following:

Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report. Using
OCR software is an art that takes time and practice to master. For more
information, see the documentation that came with your OCR software.

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, or archive special photos
in an electronic scrapbook.

To use the scan features, your HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a
Windows PC, look for the HP All-in-One icon in the system tray at the lower right side
of the screen, near the clock. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is always running.

Note

Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause your 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 Image Zone software.

For information on how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate,
crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Image Zone Help that came with
your software.
