Edit a scanned photo or graphic

You can edit a scanned photo or graphic using the software you installed with the HP All- in-One. Using this software, you can rotate or crop the image, as well as adjust the brightness, contrast, and color saturation.

Edit a scanned document

Scanning text (also known as optical character recognition or OCR) enables you to bring the content of magazine articles, books, and other printed matter into your favorite word processor and many other programs as fully editable text. Learning to do OCR right is important if you want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned text documents to be letter-perfect the first time you use your OCR software. Using OCR software is an art that takes time and practice to master. For more information about scanning documents, especially documents containing both text and graphics, see the documentation that came with your OCR software.
