Scan from other software programs

You can scan an image or document directly into a software program if the program is ISIS or TWAIN compliant and the ISIS/TWAIN drivers are installed on the computer. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, or Insert. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.

If you are scanning images, either HP Solution Center (minimal install) or HP Photosmart Software should be installed on the computer. These programs supply the TWAIN driver best suited for image scanning.
