 	HP Banner Paper [C1820A]

 	HP Iron-On T-Shirt Transfers [C6049A]

 	HP Glossy Greeting Card Paper [C6044A]

NOTE	In addition to paper type, print cartridge condition and print quality settings are also important factors in getting great printouts.

 Additional Hints and Tips

 	Select an area of your scanned image to send.

 	Adjust the resolution settings.

 	Edit your scanned image.

 	Change the automatic classification.


Adjust the resolution settings

To change the resolution settings for a particular image type, make a selection from the appropriate Resolution (dpi) drop-down list, corresponding to the image type.

Choose a higher resolution only when you are sure it will improve the final result. For example, when scanning items that will later be printed, the default settings are recommended. If the item will be printed from the Internet, select a lower resolution such as 75 dpi. File size increases significantly with higher resolutions, and are not always necessary.

However, if a very small image will later be enlarged, or you are printing on Photo paper, a setting of 300 dpi is recommended for better results.

Bigger files take up more disk space, and may use up printer and system resources as well. More complex scanning requires more system resources and slows down your computer. To reduce disk usage and speed up scans, make sure you scan only at the resolution you need.

The method for adjusting your scan resolution depends on whether you want to change resolution settings for a single image, the current scan session, or all scan sessions.

To adjust the resolution settings for a scanned image:

Select Output Resolution from the Scan Tools menu.

To adjust the resolution settings for the current scan session only:

Select Scan Settings from the Scan window’s File menu and then select the Resolution tab on the Scan Settings window.

To permanently adjust the resolution settings for all scanned images:

Select Scan Settings from the Director Settings menu.

Resize

Resizes an entire image by a specified amount. This feature is best used for high quality when planning to enlarge the image later or print on photo paper.


Resolution

A measure of how many dots per inch (dpi) are scanned. Select the resolution that is best for your scan. In general, the greater the number of dots per inch (dpi), the greater the amount of detail visible in the picture. If you will be using the scanned image on-screen, you can scan at a lower resolution, such as 75 dpi, to save disk space and display/download time.

NOTE	600, 1200, 2400, and higher dpi scans require large amounts of disk space. Avoid using these settings unless you really need the highest resolution in your scans.

NOTE	This menu option is only visible when the scan is done from within some other program such as Microsoft Word.


Save

Saves the active image file under its current file name. This option is only available when you have made a change to the image.


Save As

Saves the active image file under a new name. You can choose to save the file as a different file format. HP Scan supports JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, PCX, FPX, and DCX file formats.


Scan New Image

If the HP OfficeJet Scan window is open, you can start a new scan by selecting 1) the button labeled Scan New Image or 2) Scan New Image from the File menu.

Select this option, then click on an object (such as a line or rectangle) to select it.


Sender

Complete the Name, Fax Number, Phone Number, and Company fields for sender information to add to your fax cover page. Use this option only when you are creating or editing a cover page (.cvr) file. When you send a fax with this cover page, the fields are automatically filled in by the fax software. You can update this information using the Personal Information tab of the Fax Send Settings dialog box.

These are just placeholders. If you want to add text describing this field (for instance, From: ), use the Text annotation option.


Send To

Sends an image to the selected destination, such as your word processing or e-mail application.


Sharpen image

Sharpens an entire image or a selected area in the HP Image Editor. Sharpening an image means that the edges, the gradients in brightness or color, are made steeper. Up to a certain point, this makes a blurred image appear more focused. Negative values make these gradients more shallow so the image appears softer, or blurred. Note that very large values may distort the image.

To adjust the sharpness in the HP Image Editor:

Click the Sharpness button. Drag the pointer on the slider under Adjust Sharpness.

OR

Select the number of units by which you want to increase the sharpness.

Increasing this setting makes the image appear more in focus. Decreasing this setting makes the image appear softer (possibly even blurred). When done, click OK.

If you want to undo all the changes you have made since opening this window, click Reset.


Show Properties

Text as Image

A scanned image that is comprised of text only, used when the destination selected in the Send To list does not support editable text, for example, a paint or image editing program.

The default resolution is 300 dpi, and the pixel depth is 24-bit. These defaults can be changed.

Zoom Out

Decreases the magnification of the active image so that the image on the screen looks smaller. Zooming out does not affect the actual image size - it just makes the display look smaller. To make the actual image smaller, use Resize.

In the HP Image Editor, this zooms out the image in increments. In the Scan window, Zoom Out shrinks the image back to its original view.

Select Zoom In to increase the magnification, making the image on the screen look bigger.


Zoom In
