Scanning overview
Start scanning in one of three ways:
● From the front panel buttons — to get started quickly using basic functions
● From the HP Director — to have more control over the scan
● From other software programs
Scan from the scanner front panel buttons
The front panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used, basic
scanning functions, such as scanning documents and pictures. Instructions for using
the front panel buttons are located in this manual. For more advanced functions, see
the onscreen Help in HP Director.
Note The HP Image Zone software must be installed to use the front panel buttons
and the TMA.
Scan from the HP Director
Scan from the HP Director when you want more control over your scan, such as when
you want to preview the image before the final scan, use more advanced features, or
change scan settings.
To start the HP Director:
1 Do one of the following:
a On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Director icon.
b On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to HP,
and then click Director.
2 If you have installed more than one HP device, click one in the Select Device list.
The HP Director displays only the buttons that are appropriate for the selected
HP device.
Note The HP Director is available only when the HP Image Zone software is installed.
Scan from other software programs
You can scan an image directly into one of your software programs if the program is
TWAIN compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as
Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the program is
compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.
