About the software
Although your Compaq A3000 can be used as a stand-
alone copier, you will derive the greatest benefit from your
A3000 by connecting it to your computer and installing the
included software.
Installing the software will allow you to:
•
Print from your computer
•
Scan images to your computer
•
Scan documents to email or word processing programs

Adjust the Compaq A3000 settings

What’s on the CD
The A3000 driver CD includes the following software:
Printer driver
The printer driver tells the computer what kind of printer
you are using and controls the various settings, such as
print quality and paper type. You define these settings
within the printer driver, which then communicates the
settings to both the computer and the printer.
Scanner driver
The scanner driver allows you to scan pictures or other
images. The driver is compatible with any graphics or OCR
(Optical Character Recognition) application program that
supports the TWAIN standard; for example,
Kodak
Imaging
,
Microsoft Paint
, etc.
