Scan feature on my HP PSC 1350

Scanning is the process of converting pictures and text into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan photos and text documents. Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it into your word processor or graphics software program and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:
• Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a photographic inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic scrapbook. • Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report, saving you a lot of retyping. To use the scan features, your HP PSC and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP PSC software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP PSC software is running on a Windows PC, look for the hp psc 1300 series icon in the system tray at the lower right side of your screen, next to the time.
You can start a scan from your computer or from your HP PSC. These instructions are to scan direct from the printer.
Note: Bright direct sunlight on your HP PSC, or halogen desk lamps placed close to your HP PSC, might affect the quality of scanned images. Note: High resolution scanning (600 dpi or higher) requires a large amount of hard disk space. If there is not enough hard disk space available, your system might stall.
Scan an original 1 Load your original face down in the left front corner of the glass. 2 Press Scan. A preview image of the scan appears in the HP Scan window on the computer, where you can edit it. (For more information about editing a preview image, see the onscreen hp photo & imaging help that came with your software.)
3 Make any edits to the preview image in the HP Scan window. When you have finished, click Accept. The HP PSC sends the scan to the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery (HP Gallery), which automatically opens and displays the image. The HP Gallery 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, or saturation. You can also crop, straighten, rotate, or resize the image.
When the scanned image looks just the way you want it, you can open it in another application, send it via e-mail, save it to a file, or print it. For more information about using the HP Gallery, see the onscreen hp photo & imaging help that came with your software.
Hope this helps!

When you scan something, the printer makes it's own folder that goes into My Documents. It will be in My Documents or My Pictures in it's own folder called Scans. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Try updating the drivers. Take this link to Hp and either enter model number and then operating system or let Hp detect your hardware and select drivers.

Hi there.

As there is no full featured software available of PSC 1210 All-In-One for Windows Vista, we cannot scan from the All-In-One itself.

However, we may utilize the scanning functionality with the Microsoft Paint and Windows Photo Gallery on the computer.

I am providing you a weblink which would help in scanning with above mentioned programs.

Here is the weblink:
