Software description Supported third-party software This section describes third-party software programs that the product software supports. Text-recognition software The product includes a software CD that has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also known as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition is also available through the thirdparty software program Readiris, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the 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: ● Scan directly from the text-recognition software. ● 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. Use a minimum of 300 dpi. ● 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 is evolving and is still less than perfect. Other PC fax programs The HP Send Fax program is included on the printing-system software CD and uses the fax modem that comes standard on the product. HP recommends that you use this fax program. If you want to use any other PC fax program, you must use it with the modem on the computer. NOTE: Using two PC fax programs in the same system environment can cause both programs to not work correctly. ENWW Supported third-party software 135

Supported third-party software

This section describes third-party software programs that the product software supports.

Text-recognition software

The product includes a software CD that has an integrated text-recognition feature. This feature is also

known as optical character recognition, or OCR. Text-recognition is also available through the third-

party software program Readiris, which is included on a separate CD that comes with the 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:

●

Scan directly from the text-recognition software.

●

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. Use a minimum of 300 dpi.

●

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 is evolving and is still less than perfect.

The HP Send Fax program is included on the printing-system software CD and uses the fax modem

that comes standard on the product. HP recommends that you use this fax program. If you want to use
