Software overview for Windows Supported third-party software This section describes third-party software programs that are supported by your HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one software. Text-recognition software The HP all-in-one product software has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition capability is also provided by the third-party software program ReadIRIS, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the HP LaserJet allin-one product. About text-recognition reliability Text-recognition software turns an image into computer-editable text by analyzing the image and defining the characters. The accuracy obtained through text-recognition software depends on the quality, size, and structure of the original document, and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain the best possible results when using text-recognition software, use the following guidelines: ■ Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger. ■ Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting. ■ Scan images squarely. ■ Make sure that the pages are free of extraneous marks. ■ Maximize the scanning resolution. ■ Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that "bleed" along their edges, or that touch other letters do not work well. Text that is aligned closely to nontext items, such as graphics, might also degrade text-recognition results. ■ Fine-tune the amount of black and white on scanned images. See the user guide for information. ■ Avoid scanning from thin media that has information printed on the back side. The information on the back can bleed through. Even if you follow these recommendations, you might still get less-than-perfect results. This is because text-recognition technology itself is evolving and is still less than perfect.

If you want to continue to use your PC fax program, you must use it with the modem you already have connected to your computer, rather than with the product. Using two PC fax programs can cause both programs to work incorrectly. ENWW Supported third-party software 53

Supported third-party software

This section describes third-party software programs that are supported by your HP Color

LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 all-in-one software.

Text-recognition software

The HP all-in-one product software has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known

as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition capability is also provided by the third-party

software program ReadIRIS, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the HP LaserJet all-

in-one product.

About text-recognition reliability

Text-recognition software turns an image into computer-editable text by analyzing the image and

defining the characters. The accuracy obtained through text-recognition software depends on the

quality, size, and structure of the original document, and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain the

best possible results when using text-recognition software, use the following guidelines:

■

Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger.

■

Limit pages that contain underlining, forms, graphics, rotated text, photographs, and handwriting.

■

Scan images squarely.

■

Make sure that the pages are free of extraneous marks.

■

Maximize the scanning resolution.

■

Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that "bleed" along their edges,

or that touch other letters do not work well. Text that is aligned closely to nontext items, such as

graphics, might also degrade text-recognition results.

■

Fine-tune the amount of black and white on scanned images. See the user guide for information.

■

Avoid scanning from thin media that has information printed on the back side. The information on

the back can bleed through.

Even if you follow these recommendations, you might still get less-than-perfect results. This is because

text-recognition technology itself is evolving and is still less than perfect.

Other PC fax programs

The PC fax program that came with the product is the only PC fax program that works with the product.

If you want to continue to use your PC fax program, you must use it with the modem you already have

connected to your computer, rather than with the product. Using two PC fax programs can cause both

programs to work incorrectly.
