Type of file

When Image is selected, the scanned image is saved as an image file. If the scanned image contains text, this text is not editable.

When Text is selected, output is converted to one column in what the software perceives to be the most logical order. Graphics or pictures from the scanned item are discarded. Use this option to make more extensive changes to text.

When Image and Text is selected, output is converted to a format that creates editable text. Any graphics or pictures in the scanned item are preserved.

Prompt for Another Page

When this option is selected, a prompt appears on the computer after you scan the first page of a job. The prompt asks if you have more pages to scan to this job.

When this option is not selected, you will not be prompted for more pages. Each scanning job will be treated as a single-page job.

When changing settings for Speed Destinations, this option is not available. To scan multiple pages, use the ADF or the

HP Precisionscan Pro software.

Prompt for e-mail attachment name

When this option is selected, the scanning software prompts you to enter a name each time for e-mail attachments.

When this option is not selected, the scanning software assigns an attachment name automatically.

When changing settings for Speed Destinations, this option is not available. The names for e-mail attachments are generated automatically. If you need to specify names for e-mail attachments, use the E-mail button to scan the item.
