This icon was placed there when you installed your printer.

will allow you to judge the accuracy of the scan and to make changes, if necessary, from your.
monitor. The second pass is the acceptance of the document/picture to the computer.
7. Scanned documents can be viewed in the " My Documents " folder, scanned pictures can be
viewed in the HP Photo Gallery and the My Pictures folder.

You can scan originals placed on the glass by using the control panel.
To scan to a computer
1. Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass.
2. Press Scan Menu.
3. Press OK to select the default application to receive the scan, or press to select a
different application, and then press OK.
A preview image of the scan appears on your computer, where you can edit it.
4. Make any edits to the preview image, and then click Accept when you are finished.

In order to scan, the computer HAS to be ON. The purpose of scanning is making a DIGITAL copy of what ever you have on hardcopy. Which means, you should have saved it on the computer. And if the SCANNER is off, you can still access the scanned picture or item. However, the computer CANNOT be off, as that is where the picture should have been stored.

Any other questions?

PS to find the picture you have saved, go into the search for files and folders for a PC, and type in the name you saved it under. If you don't remember the name, look under the folder where the scanned copy is. I would look under your printer icon and its folder. Good luck!

ok" what you have to do is a pre-scan, in the pre-scan menu click on the your picture hold button down and drag a box will apear around the picture telling the computer what part of the picture you want scaned by draging that box.

Then do a regular scan
