scan from the scanner front-panel buttons

The front-panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used scanning functions, such as scanning documents and pictures. Instructions for using the front-panel buttons are located in this manual.

Note: The HP Photo & Imaging software must be installed to use the front- panel buttons and the TMA.

scan from the HP Director

Scan from the HP Director when you want more control over your scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.

To start the HP Photo & Imaging software, double-click the HP Director icon on the desktop. The HP Director window appears. From this window you can scan, view, or print images; use online Help; and more.

If the HP Director icon is not on the desktop, on the Start menu, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Hewlett-Packard, point to the name of your scanner or to Scanners, and then click Photo & Imaging Director.

Note: The HP Director is available only when the HP Photo & Imaging software is installed.
