Scanning is the process of converting text and pictures into an electronic format for your computer. You can scan just about anything:
. sp objects (be careful not to scratch the glass) to put into catalogs and lyers
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it into your word processor or graphics program and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:
+ Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report, saving you a lot of retyping.
+ Scan in a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print business cards and brochures for yourself.
+ Scan in photos and e-mail them to coworkers and friends, create a photographic inventory of your office or home, or create an electronic scrapbook.
Tip: To use the scan features, your HP Officejet and computer must be connected and turned on. The HP OfficeJet software must also be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your number is called. Too many devices on one line may result in failure to ring in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all, areas the sum of the RENS of all devices should not exceed five (5). To be certain of the number of devices you may connect to your line, as determined by the REN, you should call your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, your telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. If advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.

hewlett-packard limited global warranty statement
extent of limited warranty
Hewlett-Packard (“HP”) warrants to the end-user customer (“Customer”) that each HP officejet 6100 Series product (“Produc{”), including related software, accessories, media, and supplies, shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for the duration, which begins on the date of purchase by the Customer.
For each hardware Product, the duration of HP's limited warranty is one year for parts and one year for labor. For all other Products, the duration of HP's limited warranty for both parts and labor is ninety days.
For each software Product, HP's limited warranty applies only to a failure to execute programming instructions. HP does not warrant that the operation of any Product shall be uninterrupted or error free.
HP's limited warranty covers only those defects which arise as a result of normal use of a Product, and does not cover any other problems, including those which arise as a result of (a) improper maintenance or modification, (b) software, accessories, media, or supplies not provided or supported by HP, or (c) operation outside the Product's specifications.
For any hardware Product, the use of a non-HP print cartridge or a refilled print cartridge does not affect either the warranty to the Customer or any HP support contract with the Customer. However, if Product failure or damage is attributable to the use of a non-HP or refilled print cartridge, HP shall charge its standard labor and materials charges to service the Product for the failure or damage.
I HP receives, during the applicable warranty period, notice of a defect in any Product, HP shall either repair or replace the defective Product, at HP's option. Where labor charges are not covered by HP's limited warranty, repairs shall be at HP's standard charges for labor.
I HP is unable to repair or replace, as applicable, a defective Product which is covered by HP's warranty, HP shall, within a reasonable time after being notified of the defect, refund the purchase price for the Product.
HP shall have no obligation to repair, replace, or refund until the Customer returns the defective Product to HP.
Any replacement product may be either new or like-new, provided that it has functionality at least equal to that of the Product being replaced.
HP products, including each Product, may contain remanufactured parts, components, or materials equivalent to new in performance.
HP's limited warranty for each Product is valid in any country/region or locality where HP has a support presence for the Product and where HP has marketed the Product. The level of warranty service may vary according to local

standards. HP shall have no obligation to alter the form, fit, or function of the Product in order to make it operate in a country/region or locality for which the Product was never intended to operate.
