Icons on Desktop The primary scanning application is HP Precisionscan Pro. From this application, you can scan an image, scan it to another application, save it, and print it. To get started with HP Precisionscan Pro, you need to locate the icon that says “Scan an Image” and click on it.

If you pick the opinion “Scan to…” you get a few opinions like: Acrobat Exchange 4.0 or 5.0, Adobe ImageReady CS, HP Share-to-Web, Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Word, OmniPage Pro, Paint or WordPad. But if you want to use the other applications on the desktop like: Adobe Acrobat 6.0 Professional, Adobe ImageReady CS, and Adobe Photoshop CS, you will have to import them from the applications.
