scan smaller or odd-shaped photos

When scanning photos smaller than 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches), you will have a white border around the scanned image. There are two ways to eliminate the white border:

•Crop the image in the HP Photo & Imaging Gallery editor.

•For cleaner scanning of small photos, or to highlight a portion of a larger or odd-shaped image, create a paper frame to use with the photo. For example, you can cut circular frame from colored construction paper to highlight and scan just a portion of the photo.

scan text documents

Note: This procedure requires you to have Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software, which is not shipped with this product.

You can scan text documents into a TIF file, then use your own OCR software to convert the image into text for further word processing. When you select Text quality, the resulting image will always be black and white.

1Set the Quality button to Text .

2Scan the document:

–If the text document is larger than 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches), then scan it as you would a larger photo. See scan photos larger than 10 x 15 cm (4 x 6 inches) on page 25. Use the Panorama Maker software to merge the parts of the document.

3The image will be saved as a single TIF file.

4Import the TIF file into the OCR software, and follow the instructions for that software to convert the image into text.

find an image on the memory card

Images are saved in files using incremental numbering, such as IM000001.jpg, IM000002.jpg, and so on.

Files stored on the memory card are located in volume-or-drive\DCIM\100HPSCN\IM00xxxx.jpg

delete images from the memory card

There are two ways to delete images from the memory card or internal memory:

•Set options in HP Image Unload to automatically delete images after it unloads them (recommended).

•Use the computer’s file management tool to delete image files.

–Windows: Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to browse to the folder where the image is located. Delete the image.

–Macintosh: In the finder, browse to the image on the scanner’s volume. Select the image you want to delete and drag the image to the trash.
