Scanning from a TWAIN-enabled program
The HP LaserJet 3100 product is a TWAIN-compliant device that
works with Windows-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant
scanning devices. While in a TWAIN-enabled program, you can
access the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the open
document in the TWAIN-enabled program. To do so, follow the
program’s instructions for acquiring an image using TWAIN. When
asked what source to acquire the image from, select HP LaserJet
3100. In some programs, you will not be asked to identify the source.
Use the following guidelines to bring scanned text into a word-
