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.

 

If the software program you are using is not TWAIN-compliant or WIA-compliant, see

Note

 

Scanning to another software program.

Note

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.

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 might start automatically. If HP LaserJet Scan software starts, you can make changes while you are previewing the image. If the software 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.
