To scan to a computer
1. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
2. Ensure that there are no memory cards inserted in the memory card slots on the
HP All-in-One.
3. Press Scan.
A preview image of the scan appears on your computer, where you can edit it. Any
edits that you make apply to the current scan session only.
The HP Photosmart Software has many tools that you can use to edit your scanned
image. You can improve the overall image quality by adjusting the brightness,
sharpness, color tone, and saturation. You can also crop, straighten, rotate, or resize
the image.
4. Make any edits to the preview image, and then click Accept when you are finished.

Edit a scanned document
You can edit a scanned document using your Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software. Scanning text using OCR software enables you to bring the content of magazine
articles, books, and other printed matter into your favorite word processor and many other
applications as editable text. Learning to use OCR software correctly is important if you
want to obtain the best results. Do not expect scanned text documents to be letter-perfect
the first time you use your OCR software. Using OCR software is an art that takes time
and practice to master.
NOTE: If you are using the HP Photosmart Software, the Optical Character
Recognition (OCR) software might not be installed on your computer. To install the
OCR software, you must re-insert the software disk and select OCR under the
Custom installation options.
