Understanding scanning methods

Note

Note

You can scan an item in the following ways.

●Scan from the device: Start scanning directly from the device by using the device control-panel scan buttons. The SCAN TO button can be programmed to scan to a folder (Windows only) or to scan to e-mail.

The HP Color LaserJet 2830 all-in-one includes separate SCAN TO FOLDER and SCAN TO EMAIL buttons, instead of one SCAN TO button.

For more information, see Scanning from the device control panel (Windows).

●Scan from HP Director (Windows): Press START SCAN on the device control panel to start the HP Director software. Pressing START SCAN to start the HP Director software is not supported when the device is connected to a network (direct-connect only.) You can also start the HP Director software directly from the computer. See Scanning by using HP Director (Windows).

●Scan from HP Director (Macintosh): Insert an original into the automatic document feeder (ADF) input tray to open the HP Director window. You can also start the

HP Director by clicking the Dock alias (Macintosh OS 10.2 or 10.3) or desktop alias on the computer desktop. See Scanning from the device and HP Director (Macintosh).

●Scan from TWAIN-compliant or Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant software: The device is TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant and works with Windows- based and Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices. The device scanning software is also TWAIN-compliant and WIA- compliant. For more information, see Scanning by using TWAIN-compliant and WIA- compliant software.

To learn about and use optical character recognition (OCR) software, install the Readiris program from the software CD-ROM.
