Scan an original

You can start a scan from a computer or from the control panel. This section explains how to scan from the control panel only.

NOTE: You can also use the HP Photosmart Software to scan an image, including panorama images. Using this software, you can edit a scanned image and create special projects using a scanned image. For information about how to scan from the computer, and how to adjust, resize, rotate, crop, and sharpen your scans, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help that came with your software.

To use the scan features, your device and computer must be connected and turned on. The printer software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the printer software is running on a computer running Windows, look for the device icon in the system tray at the lower-right side of the screen, near the clock. To verify this on a computer using the Mac OS, open the HP Device Manager, and click Scan Picture. If a scanner is available, it will launch the HP ScanPro application. If it is not available, a message appears to let you know that a scanner was not found.

NOTE: Closing the HP Digital Imaging Monitor icon in your Windows system tray can cause your device 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 Photosmart Software.

Scan an original to a program on a computer (direct connection)

Use the following steps if your device is directly connected to a computer via a USB cable.

When the scan is complete, the program that you have selected opens and displays the document that you have scanned.
