Scan by using other software

The product is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The product works
with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices and
with Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant scanning devices.

While you are in a TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant program, you can gain access to the scanning
feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information, see the Help file or the
documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant software program.

Scan from a TWAIN-compliant program

Generally, a software program is TWAIN-compliant if it has a command such as Acquire, File
Acquire
, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether the program
is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software program Help or
documentation.

When scanning from a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program might start
automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes while previewing the
image. If the program does not start automatically, the image goes to the TWAIN-compliant program
immediately.

Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or
documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

Scan from a WIA-compliant program (Windows XP and Vista only)

WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft Word. WIA
uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.
