Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format
for your computer. You can scan just about anything: photos, magazine articles,
text documents, and even 3D objects, as long as you are careful not to scratch
the glass.
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it
into your word processor or graphics application and modify it to suit your
needs. You can do the following:
•
Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report,
saving you a lot of retyping.
•
Scan a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print
business cards and brochures for yourself.
•
Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic
scrapbook.
To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be connected and
turned on. The HP PSC software must also be installed and running on your
computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on a
Windows PC, look for the hp psc 2400 series icon in the system tray at the lower
right side of the screen, next to the time. On a Macintosh, the HP PSC software
is always running.
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP PSC. This section
explains how to scan from the front panel of the HP PSC only.
For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize,
rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen
hp photo & imaging help
that came with your software.
