Use the scan features

This chapter contains information on scanning to an application on your computer, to
an HP Instant Share destination, and to a memory card or storage device.
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), as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on your HP All-in-One.
Scanning to a memory card or storage device makes your scanned images even
more portable.

Note

On a Mac, you can change the default scan settings for

HP Scan

or

HP

Scan Pro

. For more information, see the onscreen

HP Image Zone Help

.

Scan an 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 Image Zone Help

that

came with your software.
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 computer, look for the HP All-in-One icon in the system tray at the lower
right side of the screen, near the time. On a Mac, the HP All-in-One software is always
running.

Note

Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in your Windows system

tray 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.

Scan an original to a computer

You can scan originals placed on the glass directly from the control panel.

Note

The menus shown in this section might vary in content depending on

your computer's operating system and which applications you set up as scan
destinations in the

HP Image Zone

.

If you have OS X v 10.2.3 or higher you will use

HP Scan Pro

instead of

HP

Scan

. For more information, see the

HP Scan Pro

section in the

HP Image

Zone Help
