Components Description
ReadIRIS Pro V9.0 supports text recognition in 2-byte Asian characters. You must have your
operating system set up to display 2-byte characters in order to see the resulting text.
NOTE For better text-recognition scanning results, start ReadIRIS and scan directly into
the program. ReadIRIS V9.0 automatically starts a wizard to help you through this process.
When ReadIRIS is installed on the computer, it appears as an option in the destination
drop-down box in the HP Scan software. If you select ReadIRIS as the destination, your
image is scanned into .TIFF format and ReadIRIS starts automatically to begin the text-
recognition process.
NOTE The ReadIRIS software uses a separate installer that comes on a separate CD.
The initial release of the HP Color LaserJet 2820/2830/2840 includes READIRIS
Professional V9.0 software. Future releases will include ReadIRIS V10.0
