Controls tab options

The Controls tab of the Preferences dialog box controls the control range readout to use for scanning.

The control range sets the amount of tonal resolution per color available for correction in the Adjust Exposure command and Adjust Black & White command. Using a larger number of bits for the control range results in greater control of compensation for exposure or threshold correction.

Choose one of these options:

 

8-bit readout (0-255)— sets the controls to use 8 bits of tonal

 

resolution per color

 

10-bit readout (0-1023)— sets the controls to use 10 bits of tonal

Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro

71

Scanning from other programs (TWAIN)

You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your programs if the program is TWAIN-compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a command such as “Acquire,” “Scan,” or “Import New Object.” If you are unsure if the program is compliant or you do not know what the command is called, see the documentation for the program.

When scanning from within a TWAIN-compliant program, the HP Precisionscan Pro software may start if the TWAIN-program allows it. If the HP Precisionscan Pro software starts, you can make changes to the image as you normally would. If not, the image returns to the TWAIN-program immediately.

Tip If your program is not TWAIN-compliant, you can try to copy and paste or drag-and-drop the image into the program. Or, save the image as a file and then place the file in the program.
