HP Scan software
Use the HP Scan software to scan from the HP LaserJet all-in-one product or to read from a file and
then complete any of the following tasks with the data:
■ Save the scanned item to a file.
■ Attach the scanned item to an e-mail.
■ Perform text recognition on the scanned item through ReadIRIS (if ReadIRIS text-recognition
software is installed on the computer).
■ Open the scanned item with any third-party software program that supports the drag-and-drop
function.
The HP LaserJet Scan software is set up to scan by default , but the General tab does provide an
override to read a scanned item from a file. This is helpful both for testing when a scanner is not available
and for converting existing files into some other output file type. The following file types are currently
supported:
■ .BMP
■ .GIF
■ .JPG
■ .PDF
■ .TIFF (both regular and compressed)
The following file types are supported as output in ReadIRIS.
■ .BMP
■ .DCA
■ .DOC
■ .DW
■ .HTM
■ .MM
■ .PDF
■ .RTF
■ .TXT
■ .WP
■ .WPS
■ .WS
■ .WS2
The HP LaserJet Scan software is composed of a simple user interface that provides only a Where
should the data go? drop-down menu and a Settings button.
