Component Description

Readiris Professional 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 v12.0 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.

Help & Learn Center Provides help for using the product software.

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 5 universal printer driver (HP PCL 5 UPD) (available on the Web)

●

PCL 6 universal printer driver (HP PCL 6 UPD) (available on the Web)

●

HP postscript emulation Universal Print Driver (HP PS UPD) (available on the Web)

All of the drivers provide access to paper-handling and print-quality features.

The HP print drivers feature bidirectional communication technology which, in supported environments,

provide automatic discovery and driver configuration for product accessories at the time of installation.

Some accessories that are automatically discovered and configured include the duplexing unit.

Bidirectional communication

In environments that support bidirectional communication, the computer communicates with the product

during installation, determines the physical configuration, and then configures the driver accordingly.

Bidirectional communication is the capability of the product to respond to data inquiries from the

computer and report information back, such as what type of print paper is available or what

accessories are connected to the product. Bidirectional communication depends on the network

operating system and on the type of connection that exists between the computer and the product. If the

connection does not have this capability (that is, if it has no bidirectional mode), it can only accept

commands from the host and cannot report information back to the host computer.
