Page 49 highlights

Edit a scanned photo or graphic You can edit a scanned photo or graphic using the HP Photosmart Software. Use this software to adjust the brightness, contrast, color saturation, and more. You can also rotate the image using the HP Photosmart Software. For more information, see the onscreen HP Photosmart Software Help. Edit a scanned document using optical character recognition (OCR) software You can use OCR software to import scanned text into your preferred word-processing program for editing. This allows you to edit faxes, letters, newspaper clippings, and many other documents. You can specify the word-processing program that you want to use for editing. If the wordprocessing icon is not present or active, either you do not have word-processing software installed on your computer, or the scanner software did not recognize the program during the installation. See the onscreen Help for the HP photo and imaging software for information about how to create a link to the word-processing program. The OCR software does not support scanning colored text. Colored text is always converted to black-and-white text before being sent to OCR. Thus, all text in the final document is in black and white, regardless of the original color. Because of the complexity of some word-processing programs and their interaction with the device, it is sometimes preferable to scan to Wordpad (a Windows accessory), and then cut and paste the text into the preferred word-processing program. Change scan settings To change scan settings • HP Device Manager (Mac OS): Launch HP Device Manager, click Information and Settings, and then select Scan Preferences from the drop-down list. • Windows: Open the device software, select Settings, select Scan Settings and Preferences, then select from the available options and make your selections.
