Scan drivers
◦
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for Windows XP, Windows
Vista, and Windows 7. WIA scanning can be started from a WIA-compliant
program or from the computer. WIA has its own user interface that is relatively simple
and does not contain the wide range of image-quality options that are available in the
TWAIN driver user interface.
◦
TWAIN driver. TWAIN is an industry-standard scanning protocol. Scanning from the
product can be initiated from any TWAIN-compliant software program.
Readiris Professional text-
recognition software by
IRIS
Converts scanned images into text that can be edited in word-processing programs.
The user interface is localized into six languages. However, the software supports text-recognition
in 124 languages.
Readiris Professional supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. You must have your
operating system set up to display 2-byte characters in order to see the text.
NOTE: For better text-recognition scanning results, start Readiris and scan directly into the
program. Readiris v12.0 automatically starts a wizard to help guide this process.
When Readiris is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination drop-down
box in the HP Scan software. If you select Readiris as the destination, the image is scanned
into .TIFF format and Readiris automatically starts the text-recognition process.
The Readiris software uses a separate installer that comes on a separate CD. The initial release of
the product includes Readiris Professional software.
