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-
processing program.
