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.
