Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan almost anything (photos, magazine articles and text documents), as long as you are careful not to scratch the glass on the HP All-in-One.

You can use the scanning features of the HP All-in-One to do the following:

•Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report.

•Print business cards and brochures by scanning a logo and using it in your publishing software.

•Send photos to friends and relatives by scanning your favorite prints and including them in e-mail messages.

•Create a photographic inventory of your house or office.

You can start a scan from your computer or from the HP All-in-One. This section explains how to scan from the control panel of the HP All-in-One only.

To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP Solution Center Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Studio (Mac) must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.

•On a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system tray (at the lower right side of the screen, near the time) to verify the software is running.

NOTE: Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in the Windows system tray can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality and result in the No Connection error message. If this happens, you can restore full functionality by restarting your computer or by starting the HP Solution Center Software.

•On a Mac, the software is always running.

TIP: You can use the HP Solution Center Software (Windows) or HP Photosmart Studio (Mac) Software (Mac) to scan images, including panorama images. Using this software, you can also edit, print, and even share your scanned images.
