Before you start, review the following important information about your computer’s parallel port mode. After that, do the steps in the order listed.

Determining Your Computer’s Parallel Port Mode

To scan using your HP OfficeJet, you must set your computer’s parallel port to one of the following modes:

ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) Available in recently manufactured computers. This mode ensures the fastest scanning speed.

 

Bi-Directional

Allows communication between your

 

 

computer and the HP OfficeJet. Scanning

 

 

is slower than with ECP mode.

NOTE

 

 

 

 

 

HP recommends using ECP mode if your computer has this capability.

 

 

 

 

Most computers have a setup, CMOS, hardware configuration, or other

 

screen that can be accessed during the boot process. This screen shows your

 

computer’s current settings, including parallel port mode.

If you need more information about changing parallel port mode in your computer, see the user guide that came with your computer. You can also refer to the Read about ECP document located on the HP OfficeJet R Series CD-ROM or in the HP OfficeJet R Series program folder, which is available after you install your software.
