Using your Scanner
Scanning lets you place pictures in your software programs to use in projects.
With the HP PSC 500, you can scan a picture to create:
◆ Wallet-size prints
◆ Photo enlargements
◆ Stickers
◆ Posters
◆ Banners
◆ T-shirt transfers
You can place your scanned pictures in other programs to create:
◆ Reports
◆ Flyers
◆ Business cards
◆ Presentations
◆ Screensavers
◆ Greeting cards (with certain programs)
You also can:
◆ Attach a scanned picture to an e-mail.
◆ Store copies of photos to edit later or to keep on your hard drive.
◆ Scan small 3-D objects.
◆ Scan text to avoid retyping (with Readiris OCR software).
NOTE The scanner light remains on for approximately 12 hours after you turn on the
HP PSC 500 for use. This keeps the bulb warm for optimal performance. The light
uses very little power. After 12 hours, the HP PSC 500 turns off the scanner bulb to
save energy and displays a “Power Save On” message.
