How to use the scanner
Scan oversized items
If you have an item to scan that is larger than the scanning glass, you can scan it in multiple sections, and then connect the sections with ArcSoft Panorama Maker software.
Use the Panorama Maker software to connect multiple scans. Use the ReadIris Pro software if you want to convert a document into editable text. If you did not install this software when you set up the scanner, insert the scanner CD to install it now. See the Setup Poster for installation information.
Note Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software Help for information about scanning procedures.
