Scanner is scanning items very slowly.
If you are scanning to edit text, the optical character recognition | |
| (OCR) program causes the scanner to scan more slowly, which |
| is normal. Wait for the item to scan. |
Some default settings can cause the scanner to scan more | |
| slowly. Check the settings. See "Setting preferences" on |
| page 68. |
The resolution might be set too high. Return to the default | |
| resolution. See "Changing resolution" on page 46. |
The correct menu items do not appear in the HP Precisionscan Pro software.
If you used the ADF and then disconnected it, restart the | |
| software. |
If you were using the XPA, on the Scan menu, click Scanner | |
| Glass to scan from the glass again. |
If you are trying to use the XPA and the XPA (Slides) or XPA | |
| (Negatives) commands are unavailable, restart the software |
| while the XPA light source is connected to the scanner. |
