Generally, the program is compliant if it has a command such as "Acquire, " "Scan, " or "Import New Object. " If you are unsure if the program is compliant or what the command is called, see the documentation for the program. When scanning from within a program that supports TWAIN or the HP ScanJet Plug-in, the HP PrecisionScan Pro software may start if the program allows it. If the HP PrecisionScan Pro software starts, you can make changes to the image as you normally would. If not, the image returns to the program immediately. Start a scan from within the other program by choosing the Acquire (or similar) command. If the HP PrecisionScan Pro software opens and displays the preview image, create a selection area. You can crop the scan (if necessary), select the output type, and make optional adjustments as you normally would. See the appropriate sections in this chapter for instructions. When finished making changes to the scanned image, do one of the following to perform a final scan and place it in the program from which you started scanning: q q 3 Tip If your program does not support TWAIN or the HP ScanJet Plug-in, you can try to copy and paste or dragand-drop the image into the program.
