74 Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro

Scanning from other programs

You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your programs if the program supports TWAIN or the HP Scanjet Plug-in. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a command such as

Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure if the

program is compliant or what the command is called, see the documentation for the program.

When scanning from within a program that supports TWAIN or the HP Scanjet Plug-in, the HP Precisionscan Pro software may start if the program allows it. If the HP Precisionscan Pro software starts, you can make changes to the image as you normally would. If not, the image returns to the program immediately.

Tip If your program does not support TWAIN or the HP Scanjet Plug-in, you can try to copy and paste or drag-and-drop the image into the program. Or, save the image as a file and then place the file in the program.
