Scan from other software programs

You can scan an image or document directly into a software program if the program is

ISIS or TWAIN compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option

such as

Acquire

,

Scan

,

Import New Object

, or

Insert

. If you are unsure whether the

program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.

HP Smart Document Scan Software is an ISIS application.

ScanSoft PaperPort, I.R.I.S. Readiris Pro, and NewSoft Presto! BizCard are TWAIN

applications.

Scan with one button press

The standard process for using the HP Smart Document Scan Software to complete your

scans is as follows:

this profile, press the
