28 Scanning from scanner buttons

Scanning quickly with scanner buttons

Use the scanner buttons to scan quickly to a destination using settings optimized for that destination. A destination is a printer, file, or another program, such as your e-mail or word-processing program.

Tip When scanning multiple pages without using an ADF, the computer might prompt you for another page. The HP Precisionscan Pro software adds these pages to the current file. (To turn this feature off, see "Changing settings for buttons" on

page 35.)

If you are scanning slides or negatives using the HP Scanjet Transparency Adapter (XPA), you must scan from the HP Precisionscan Pro software. See "Scanning from the XPA" on page 79.
