how to use the scanner

You can start your scanner projects in one of two ways: from the scanner buttons or from the HP Photo & Imaging software. The scanner buttons offer shortcuts to some of the software functions. Start from the software when you want more options and control or if your scanner model does not have all the buttons.

The procedures in this section use the default button settings. For more information about changing the settings for one or more buttons, see change button settings.

For more information about using the software, see the HP Photo & Imaging software Help.

The scanner glass can be used to scan a wide range of items, from business cards and photos to fabric and artwork.

Avoid placing items with sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so can damage the scanner.

Before placing an item on the scanner glass, make sure the item is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can be transferred to the glass.
