a variety of graphics file formats. However, not all Web browsers can

With the HP scanning software, you can scan your text or images,
make adjustments to these scans, and then prepare them for the
World Wide Web.

Drag-and-drop from the scanning software
If your Web page development application supports drag-and-drop,
you can drag the image from the Preview area of the scanning
software and drop it into the open page where you want it. Some
Web page applications have image editing capabilities if you want
to adjust the image further. You should consult the documentation
that came with the Web page development application for more
information.
Save the image as a file
You can save the image as a file in the scanning software, and then
insert that file into your Web page development application.
Remember to save it as a GIF or JPEG file.
Copy and paste the image
You can use the scanning software's
Copy
menu command or icon
