use the scan features
Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an
electronic format for your computer. You can scan just about anything:
• Photos
• Magazine articles
• Text documents
• 3D objects (be careful not to scratch the glass) — to put into
catalogs and flyers.
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can
bring it into your word processor or graphics program and modify it
to suite your needs. You can:
• Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in
a report, saving you a lot of retyping.
• Scan in a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing
you to print business cards and brochures for yourself.
• Scan in photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a
photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an
electronic scrapbook.
To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be
connected and turned on. The HP PSC 900 Series software should
also be installed on your computer prior to connecting the computer to
the HP PSC.
