64 Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro

Placing a scan on a website

You can share images with other people by scanning directly to the Web. People you know can view photos and other items by visiting your website, which will have its own address.

Tip If you want to place a scan on a site other than an HP Share-to-Web website, save the scanned image as a file and then place the file on the site as you normally do. See "Preparing a scan for online viewing" on page 64.

Preparing a scan for online viewing

There are many website development applications, or HTML editors, available. These applications help you develop websites, and they support a variety of graphic file formats. However, not all Web browsers can display all the file formats that website development applications support.

With the HP scanning software, you can scan your text or images, make adjustments to these scans, and then prepare them for the World Wide Web.

Optimizing a scan for online viewing

To optimize a scan for a website, be sure to do the following:

●Save scans as GIF, JPEG, or PNG files. (Most Web browsers use these file formats.)

●For color images, choose the Web Palette output type.

●Select a resolution of 72 dpi. (This resolution produces smaller file sizes than higher resolutions, and the images still look good on the computer screen.)

●Scale or resize your scanned image in the scanning software before inserting the image into your document.
