Software description

If you do not change any settings in the Scan Settings dialog box, the HP LaserJet Scan software prompts for any needed information, such as a filename if sending the scanned item to a file folder or an e-mail address if sending the scanned item in e-mail. If you specify an e-mail address in the Scan Settings dialog box before scanning the item, the e-mail is sent automatically without the new-message dialog box opening.

Because the Scan Settings dialog box contains only a limited set of variables, more functionality is available when using command-line arguments.

Every time the HP LaserJet Scan software is used, an HPPSCAN2.LOG file is generated within the current user's temporary directory. The HPPSCAN2.LOG file develops a log of operations and aids in troubleshooting problems.

Scanning to a file sends the scanned image to a MY SCANS directory in the MY DOCUMENTS folder.

CAUTION: If you move the My Documents folder, the My Scans folder does not follow to the new location. It remains hard-coded to the current-user's home, and scan jobs continue to be stored there.

Selecting the third-party destination option saves the scanned image to a file of the specified file type. The HP LaserJet Scan software then starts the specified software program by appending the filename to the software filename. Because the HP LaserJet Scan software does not support automatic discovery of software programs, specify the correct software program and specify a file type that the program supports. The HP LaserJet Scan software opens when the filename is passed as a command-line argument.

E-mail

The HP LaserJet software for MS Windows supports only 32-bit messaging application programming interface-(MAPI-) compliant e-mail programs, and does not support Internet-based e-mail programs such as Hotmail or Yahoo. The following table lists some examples of supported e-mail programs.
