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 and I.R.I.S. Readiris Pro are TWAIN applications.

The standard process for using the HP Smart Document Scan Software to complete your
scans is as follows:
1. Scan document pages.
2. Review the scanned document pages in the HP Smart Document Scan Software
Scan Progress Window. Reorder, delete, and rescan pages as necessary.
3. Finish the scan by clicking Done Scanning in the Scan Progress Window.
4. The scanning software processes the scanned document pages according to the
profile settings.
You can set up a profile that skips steps 2 and 3 of the standard process. After you select
this profile, press the Scan Document To button on the scanner front panel or click
Scan in the HP Smart Document Scan Software Main Window. The pages will be
scanned and processed without further intervention.
In order for a scan to complete automatically, the selected HP Smart Document Scan
Software profile must include the following settings:
• On the Profile tab, the Enable document review and option to scan more
pages check box must be cleared.
• Additional settings on the Destination tab, such as disabling the Show Save As
dialog box, might be required depending on the profile.
