Windows printing-system software Table 2-1 Software components for Windows Component Description HP installer Installs the printing-system software based on the hardware it detects from the host computer. Uninstaller Removes files and folders that were installed when the printing-system software was originally installed on the computer.
Table 2-1 Software components for Windows (continued) Component Description Driver software Use the driver software to print, fax, and scan with the computer and the product. This software includes the following drivers: Readiris Professional v12.0 text-recognition software by IRIS ● The HP PCL 6 printer driver. The HP PCL 6 printer driver is installed by default. ● The HP PCL 5 Universal Printer Driver (UPD). This printer driver is not installed by default.
Driver configuration for Windows The following printer drivers provide the printing features and communication between the computer and the product: ● PCL 6 (on the software CD) ● PCL 5e universal printer driver (HP UPD) (available on the Web) All of the drivers provide access to paper-handling and print-quality features.
HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool Use the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool, a Web-based diagnostic software program, to determine whether the correct and most current printer driver for the product is in use. Use the following steps to gain access to the HP Driver Diagnostic Printer Check Tool: 1. Open a Web browser. 2. Go to the following Web site: www.hp.
HP Customer Participation Program After the product is installed, you have the option of participating in HP's voluntary program for communication between your system and HP. This feature, available through software that is included on the printing-system software installation CD, helps HP monitor toner usage. At the time of the invitation, about two weeks after installation, full disclosure of the information to be communicated is provided.
Scan software ● Scan methods ● HP Scan software ● Scan drivers Scan methods Perform scan jobs in the following ways. ● Scan from the computer by using HP Scan software ● Scan from TWAIN-compliant or Windows Imaging Application (WIA)-compliant software NOTE: To learn about and use text-recognition software, install the Readiris program from the software CD. Text-recognition software is also known as optical character recognition (OCR) software. Scan by using HP Scan software (Windows) 1.
Start the scan from within the TWAIN-compliant program. See the software program Help or documentation for information about the commands and steps to use. Scan from a WIA-compliant program WIA is another way to scan an image directly into a software program. WIA uses Microsoft software to scan, instead of the HP Scan software. Generally, a software program is WIA-compliant if it has a command such as Picture/From Scanner or Camera in the Insert or File menu.
● .PDF ● .TIFF (both regular and compressed) Convert a scanned document into editable text by using the Readiris software. The following editable text file types are supported in Readiris: ENWW ● .BMP ● .DCA ● .DOC ● .DW ● .HTM ● .MM ● .PDF ● .RTF ● .TXT ● .WP ● .WPS ● .WS ● .
The HP Scan software uses a simple user interface with a list of shortcuts, a Restore Defaults button, a Advanced Settings button, and a Scan button. Figure 2-2 HP Scan dialog box The list contains any user-defined destinations, and the following default destination options: ● Save as PDF ● Save as JPEG ● E-mail as PDF ● E-mail as JPEG ● Save as editable text (OCR) (if Readiris software is installed) ● Everyday Scan After you select a destination, click Scan to start the scan.
Figure 2-3 Scan Setup Options dialog box Many of the dialog boxes in the HP Scan software contain the following four common buttons: ● Click Back to return to the previous dialog box. ● Click Next to go to the next dialog box. ● Click Cancel to cancel the creation or deletion of a scan destination. ● Click Help to gain access to context-sensitive help for the dialog box. The HP Scan software presents a series of dialog boxes that depend on the selections made in the HP Scan software dialog boxes.
Selecting the third-party destination option saves the scanned image in a file of the specified file type. The HP Scan software then starts the specified software program by appending the filename after the software filename. Because the HP Scan software does not support automatic discovery of software programs, you must specify the correct software program and specify a file type that your program supports.
Scan settings The following table shows the available scan settings. Table 2-4 Available scan settings Option Scan settings Resolution ● 75 dpi NOTE: Scanning at higher resolution requires longer scan times and more memory. ● 100 dpi ● 150 dpi ● 200 dpi ● 300 dpi ● 600 dpi ● 1200 dpi ● Black and White (1 bit) ● Grayscale (8 bit) ● Color (24 bit) ● Portable Network Graphics (*.png) ● Adobe PDF (*.pdf) ● Searchable PDF (*.pdf) ● JPEG (*.jpg, *.jpeg) ● GIF (*.
