Part of the image did not scan or is missing text

Was the original loaded correctly?

Verify you loaded the original correctly. See “Loading Copier/Scanner originals.”

Does the original have a colored background?

Colored backgrounds can cause images in the foreground to blend too much. Try adjusting the settings before scanning or enhancing the image after it has been scanned. See “Contrast sensitive originals.” Also see “Scanner resolution and gray scale.”

Is the original longer than 762 mm (30 in.)?

The maximum scannable length is 762 mm (30 in.). If the page exceeds the maximum length, the scanner will stop.

CAUTION Do not try to pull the original out of the scanner, or you may damage the scanner or your original. See “Clearing scanner jams.”

Is the original too small?

The minimum size supported in the Copier/Scanner for the HP 1100 is 50.8 by 90 mm (2 by 3.5 in.). The original may be jammed. See “Clearing scanner jams.”

Are you using the Document Assistant?

Your default property settings for the Document Assistant may be set to automatically perform a specific task other than the one you are attempting. For example, the Document Assistant can be set to automatically perform a scan to e-mail; thus your image will not show up on screen but instead will be attached to an e-mail message as a file. See the online help for instructions on changing the Document Assistant properties. See “Accessing the online help.”

1100A specifications

The HP 1100 and 1100A are pivotal laser printers developed by Hewlett-Packard in the early 1990s, marking significant advancements in printing technology of their time. Since their introduction, these models have garnered a reputation for reliability and efficiency, making them a staple in many offices.

One of the standout features of the HP 1100 series is its fast printing speed. The printers can produce up to 12 pages per minute, which was an impressive feat at the time of their release. This speed significantly reduced waiting times, allowing users to handle large-volume printing jobs with ease. Furthermore, the printers support a variety of media types, including letterhead, envelopes, and labels, enhancing versatility in print applications.

The HP 1100 and 1100A utilize laser technology, which ensures sharp and high-quality prints. The printers have a native resolution of 600 x 600 dots per inch (DPI), enabling crisp text and detailed graphics. This high-resolution output made the models particularly favored for producing professional documents and presentations.

Another key characteristic is the generous memory capacity. The HP 1100 typically comes with 2 MB of standard RAM, which is expandable, allowing for improved performance in handling complex print jobs. Users can adjust the memory according to their requirements, resulting in better efficiency, particularly in environments that demand high-volume printing.

The HP 1100 series also showcases a straightforward and user-friendly operation. The built-in control panel simplifies the printing process, allowing users to manage jobs intuitively. Additionally, with the inclusion of parallel and later USB connectivity options, integration with various computer systems was seamless, ensuring compatibility with existing office infrastructure.

Energy efficiency is another aspect worth noting, as the printers are designed to consume minimal power when idle, aligning with the growing demand for eco-friendly solutions.

Overall, the HP 1100 and 1100A stand out for their robust construction, high-speed performance, exceptional print quality, and user-friendly features, making them a trusted choice for small to medium-sized businesses in need of dependable printing solutions. Their impact on the printing landscape during the 1990s continues to be felt today, as they paved the way for subsequent generations of laser printers.
