Scanning by using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software

The device is TWAIN-compliant and Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant. The device works with Windows-based and Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN- compliant or WIA-compliant scanning devices.

 

Using TWAIN-compliant and WIA-compliant software

 

While you are in a TWAIN-enabled or WIA-enabled program, you can gain access to the

 

scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open program. For more information,

 

see the Help file or the documentation that came with your TWAIN-compliant or WIA-

 

compliant software program.

 

Scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program

 

The Macintosh device software complies with TWAIN Version 1.9 requirements.

Note

 

Generally, a software program is TWAIN-enabled if it has a command such as Acquire, File

 

Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, Insert from, or Scanner. If you are unsure whether

 

the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the software

 

program Help or documentation.

 

When scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program, the HP LaserJet Scan software program

 

might start automatically. If the HP LaserJet Scan program starts, you can make changes

 

while you are previewing the image. If the program does not start automatically, the image

 

goes to the TWAIN-enabled program immediately.

 

To scan from a TWAIN-enabled program

 

Start the scan from within the TWAIN-enabled program. See the software program Help or

 

documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

 

Scanning from a WIA-enabled program (Windows XP only)

 

WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program, such as Microsoft

 

Word. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of HP LaserJet Scan software.

 

Generally, a software program is WIA-enabled if it has a command such as Picture/From

 

Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu. If you are unsure whether the program is

 

WIA-enabled, see the software program Help or documentation.

 

To scan from a WIA-enabled program

 

Start the scan from within the WIA-enabled program. See the software program Help or

 

documentation for information about the commands and steps to use.

 

OR

 

In the Cameras and Scanner folder, double-click the device icon. This opens the standard

 

WIA-enabled software program, which enables you to scan to a file.
