Scan drivers
TWAIN driver. TWAIN is an industry-standard scanning protocol. Scanning from the
product can be initiated from any TWAIN-compliant software program.
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver. WIA scanning can be started from a WIA-
compliant program or from the computer. WIA has its own user interface that is relatively
simple and does not contain the wide range of image-quality options that are available
in the TWAIN driver user interface.
Readiris Professional
V11.0 text-recognition
software by IRIS
Converts scanned images into text that can be edited in word-processing programs.
The user interface is localized into six languages. However, the software supports text-recognition
in 124 languages.
Readiris Professional supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. You must have your
operating system set up to display 2-byte characters in order to see the text.
NOTE: For better text-recognition scanning results, start Readiris and scan directly into the
program. Readiris V11.0 automatically starts a wizard to help guide this process.
When Readiris is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination drop-down
box in the HP Scan software. If you select Readiris as the destination, the image is scanned
into .TIFF format and Readiris automatically starts the text-recognition process.
The Readiris software uses a separate installer that comes on a separate CD. The initial release
of the product includes Readiris Professional software.
Online Help Provides help for using the product software.
The user documentation for this product is included on the installation CD as both .CHM (online
help) files and Adobe® Acrobat® .PDF files. The software CD uses a version of Adobe Acrobat
Reader that remains on the CD and does not need to be installed on the computer. However, a
Web browser must be installed on the computer to view the contents from any .CHM file.
