Acquiring an image

Note	If you are using Windows 95 and want to scan documents, you will have
	to use TWAIN-compliant software. For all other operating systems,
	using TWAIN-compliant software is optional.
	The product is TWAIN-compliant and works with Windows- and
	Macintosh-based programs that support TWAIN-compliant
	scanning devices. While in a TWAIN-enabled program, you can
	access the scanning feature and scan an image directly into the
	open application. To do so, follow the program’s instructions for
	acquiring an image using TWAIN. For more specific information,
	see Accessing the online help.

Adjusting the contrast

When you scan originals that have a colored background and text that does not stand out well (contrast-sensitive originals), you might need to adjust the contrast. For example, if you scan a yellow receipt with light gray print, the text might not be legible. To make the text more legible, increase the contrast (darken the text).

Accessing the contrast feature

●Using the HP LaserJet TWAIN driver: To adjust the contrast, move the slider left (less contrast) or right (more contrast).

●Using HP LaserJet Document Manager: Select the Tools menu, select Image Enhancement, and select Contrast.

●Using the Scan Control Viewer (Windows only): Scan the document in page-by-page mode, select photo regions you want to adjust, click the right-mouse button, and adjust the contrast by selecting Lighten or Darken from the context menu.
