Preview scan when scanner button is pushed

When this checkbox is checked, each time you push the Scan button on the scanner the scanner automatically performs a Preview scan. This means you can start a Preview scan with the Scan button.

When this checkbox is not checked, pushing the Scan button on the scanner does not start a Preview scan. You will need to start a Preview scan by:

■clicking in the toolbar

-or-

■choosing Preview from the Scan menu

Best Quality Scaling

When this checkbox is checked, the highest quality scaling is applied to the final scan.

When this checkbox is not checked, scanning is faster because normal quality scaling is applied to the final scan.

Best Quality Sharpening

When this checkbox is checked, the highest quality of sharpening is applied to the final scan.

When this checkbox is not checked, scanning is faster because normal quality sharpening is applied to the final scan.

Maximum Pixel Depth

When this checkbox is checked, the largest pixel bit depth is applied to the scan to produce the highest quality image.

When this checkbox is not checked, scanning is faster for most output types because there is less image data being processed. If your scanner is connected to a parallel port, you may see a significant improvement in performance without a large degradation in image quality when you remove the checkmark from this feature.

T I P

By default, when HP PrecisionScan Pro is installed, all the checkboxes are checked in the Scanner tab of the HP PrecisionScan Pro Preferences dialog box.
