Scanning Overview

The Compaq A1500 All-In-One offers three ways to scan a document. You can scan:

•Using the control panel of the A1500

•Using the Compaq Control Form

•Using the computer

The driver supports scanning from the bundled applications as well as all your favorite computer programs.

Preparing Documents for Scanning

You can use the A1500 to scan documents that are printed on standard letter, legal, or A4-sized paper. Follow these guidelines to prepare your documents.

•Removing all staples, paper clips, and similar items before feeding the document.

•Making sure any glue, ink, or correction fluid on the paper is completely dry before feeding the document.

Using the Copy/Scan Sleeve

Some documents cannot be fed into the scanner input feeder. For those documents, the A1500 comes with a Copy/Scan Sleeve. The sleeve is a stiff piece of plastic with a clear plastic overlay. Simply place your document between the two pieces of plastic so that your document is centered at the top and visible through the clear plastic sheet.

Use the Copy/Scan Sleeve for the following types of documents:

•Envelopes

•Checks

•Receipts

•Fragile or thin documents

•Photographs

•Wrinkled or creased paper

•Curled or rolled paper

•Torn paper

•Carbon or carbon-backed paper

•Coated or glossy paper

CAUTION: Do not feed anything thicker than a normal sheet of paper

!into the scanner, even if you use the Copy/Scan Sleeve. You cannot scan credit cards, a driver’s license, etc. Doing so will damage your sleeve and the A1500.

Loading the Documents

1.Place the document(s) to be scanned face down and top down in the document input tray. If you are using the Copy/Scan Sleeve, place it top down (the top is the closed end) and clear side down.

2.Adjust the document guides to match the width of the document, if necessary.

3.Slide the document down into the tray until the machine grips the first sheet. The LCD panel displays the DOCUMENT LOADED message:

2.Press the Scan button.

The All-In-One will then contact your computer and scan all the documents in the document input tray to the chosen destination.

The first Scan To destination is your User Folder. This is initially your My Pictures folder, located in your My Documents directory. You can change your user folder and default file type with the Settings Utility.

Simply press the Scan button twice to scan all documents to your User Directory, using the settings you selected with the Settings Utility.
