Scanning overview

Note Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software on-screen help for information about scanning procedures. Tip High resolution is usually only necessary when attempting to increase the size of very small images (for instance, scanning a stamp-sized image, or scanning 35 mm negatives or color slides and enlarging them to A4 size). In most cases, optimal scanning can be achieved by adjusting the resolution of the scan to a resolution appropriate for the intended use of the image. Scanning at a resolution higher than necessary only increases your file size, slows down printing, and in some cases makes the image impossible to print on a particular printer. For more information, open the HP Director software, select your scanner in the Select Device list, click Help, and in the HP Image Zone software on-screen help, see the HP Scanjet scanner on-screen help. You can start scanning in one of three ways: Scan from the scanner's front panel buttons

The front panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used scanning functions, such as scanning pictures, slides, negatives, and documents. Descriptions for using the front panel buttons are located in this manual (see Front panel and accessories overview). Scan from the HP Director Scan from the HP Director software when you want more control of your scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.
To start the HP Director software, double-click the HP Director icon ( ) on the desktop. The HP Director window appears. From this window you can scan, view, or print images, use on-screen help, and more. If the HP Director icon ( ) is not on the desktop, on the Start menu, point to Programs or All Programs, point to HP, and then click HP Director. Scan from other applications You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your applications if the application is TWAIN or WIA-compliant. Generally, the application is compliant if it has an option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the application is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that application.

Scan pictures

Note Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software on-screen help for information about scanning procedures. To simplify scanning, the software does not prompt you to previewthe picture when you use the Scan Picture button ( ) on the front of the scanner. If you want to preview the scanned picture, begin the scan from the HP Director or change the button settings. To change the scanner button settings, see Change settings. The HP scanning software can automatically correct your pictures or restore faded colors in old pictures. To turn picture correction on or off, select Automatically Correct Photos in the Basic menu of the HP scanning software, then choose the options you want. To automatically correct photos, Preview must be turned on for the Scan Picture button ( ) on the front of your scanner. You can also scan the picture by using the HP Director software. See Change settings to turn on Preview.
Scan from the 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo holder
The photo holder is a fast, convenient way to scan multiple photos. The photo holder holds up to 24 pictures. The pictures are held securely in place for consistent placement while scanning. The photo holder accepts only photos that meet the following specifications: Standard 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm) pictures Media that is in good condition (not fragile or worn) Media that is free of glue, tape, or other sticky material
If the photo you want to scan in the photo holder does not meet these guidelines, place the photo on the scanner glass underneath the HP Photo Door or underneath the scanner lid.
