Web interface
HP Real Estate Document Assistant can run the Web browser that is
already on your system so you can find images on the Internet.
Drives
HP Real Estate Document Assistant can access any drive that is installed on a
system. Consider how you want to store and access your image files, and install
the equipment according to manufacturer recommendations. HP Real Estate
Document Assistant supports files on any internal drive and on most external
devices such as these:
floppy drives
USB memory card readers such as HP Compact Flash Reader
network drives
digital cameras such as HP Photosmart digital cameras that can operate as
USB storage drives
Consider the convenience of accessing files directly when considering what
equipment to choose. If the camera you have operates only using a TWAIN
interface, you may want to use a memory card reader to get to your files faster.
For the same reason, you may be able to get to digital camera files faster using a
direct USB connect mode rather than TWAIN interface mode if the camera you
have operates as a USB storage device.
Cameras
Using digital cameras is the easiest way to get new images into documents
quickly. HP Real Estate Document Assistant can access them without the need
to convert images before inserting them into documents.
Most digital cameras operate using a TWAIN interface, which is easily
accessible using HP Real Estate Document Assistant. However, some cameras
have settings to operate as ordinary disk drives. This may be an easier way to
use HP Real Estate Document Assistant. See the camera documentation for
options.
Web interface
HP Real Estate Document Assistant can open the system default Web browser
to find pictures on the Internet. It requires no hardware installation, but it does
require having an active Internet service.
