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 software program and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:

•Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic scrapbook.

•Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report, saving you a lot of retyping.

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 a Windows PC, look for the hp officejet 5500 series icon in the system tray at the lower right side of your screen, next to the time. On a Macintosh, the HP Officejet software is always running.

You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP Officejet. This section explains how to scan from the front panel of the HP Officejet only.

For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen hp photo & imaging help that came with your software.

Note: High resolution scanning (600 dpi or higher) requires a large amount of hard disk space. If there is not enough hard disk space available, your system might stall.
