Printing copies

You can scan an item and send it to a printer to make copies using the scanner button. At the computer, you can see the progress of the scan or you can cancel the scan. (If you cancel the scan, the printer might feed a blank page to the output bin.) Note that when you make copies, each page is treated as a separate print job, so the printer does not collate copies.

Using the scanner button allows you to scan an item and send it to a printer using default printer and scanner settings. To change the default printer or scanner settings, open the HP Scanjet Copy Utility in the HP Scanning Software folder.

On some scanner models, you can also change the number of copies or select color or black and white copies from the scanner front panel. If your scanner does not have buttons for changing the number of copies or selecting color or black and white copies, open the HP Scanjet Copy Utility to make these adjustments. (See "Front panel and accessories comparisons" on page 3.)

For more information, see "Using the HP Scanjet Copy Utility" on page 16.
