Getting Started

• Go to Start > Programs > Specialty Software > Scanner > HP Dir.
• When HP Dir opens, insert the source to scan face down in the scanner, with the top of the source touching the back of the scanner plate.
• Follow directions below for scanning images or documents.

Scanning Images

• In HP Dir, click Scan Picture.
• In the HP Scanning box, click Scan.
• The scanner will make a preliminary scan, showing the results in the HP Scanning window to preview. You have the option of selecting only a portion to use from the scan as well as making alterations to its orientation, size, color, resolution, etc.
• Click Accept then No to the message box asking if you wish to make another scan. The scanner will make the final scan.
• HP Photo & Imaging Gallery opens with a thumbnail image representing your scanned image, temporarily saved as a "jpeg" file. The file’s folder will be highlighted in the left sub window.
• The gallery also displays any previously scanned images as thumbnails. Double clicking one, including the most current scanned image, permits final processing in the HP Image Editor. You can review (zoom if necessary), resize, annotate, cut, copy, paste to another program, print, and save.

Scanning Documents

• In HP Dir click Scan Picture.
• In the HP Scanning box, select Scan to destination. Choose the file destination then click Scan.
• The scanner will make a preliminary scan, showing the results in the HP Scanning window to preview. You have the option of selecting only a portion to use from the scan as well as making alterations to its orientation, size, color, resolution, etc.
• Click Accept then No to the message box asking if you wish to make another scan. The scanner will make the final scan.
• If the destination is a file, a "Save to" box opens for you to save the scan.
• The destination application opens (for example, Microsoft Word) with your scanned document displayed. In Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, the scanned material is in frames, which can be edited. Click any area of the display and the frames will appear around the given material. Note: An accepted scanned document into WordPad has no frames.
