9 Use the scan features
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.
Archive treasured photos in an electronic scrapbook.

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.
