use the scan features
Scanning is the process of converting pictures and text into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan photos and text documents.
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it into your word processor or graphics program and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:
•Scan photos of your kids and
•Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report, saving you a lot of retyping.
Tip: To use the scan features, your HP Officejet and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP Officejet software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP Officejet software is running on Windows, look for a status icon in the system tray. On a Macintosh, the HP Officejet software is always running.
Note: High resolution scanning (600 dpi or higher) requires a large amount hard disk space. If there is not enough hard disk space available, your system may stall.
