Errors, To adjust the brightness | HP F4240, F4280, F4235 specs

Solution 1: Make sure that the brightness is set appropriately in the software

Solution: Adjust the brightness in the software, and then rescan the original.

To adjust the brightness

1.In the HP Scanning window, click Lighten/Darken in the Basic menu or the Tools panel.

2.Adjust the brightness indicators.

Cause: The brightness was not set correctly in the software.

If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 2: Make sure that the glass and the back of the document lid are clean

Solution: Turn off the product, unplug the power cord, and use a soft cloth to wipe the glass and the back of the document lid.

For more information, see:

•Clean the lid backing

•Clean the glass

Cause: The glass and the back of the document lid were not clean. If this did not solve the issue, try the next solution.

Solution 3: Make sure that the scan document settings are set to the correct optical character recognition (OCR) language

Solution: Select the correct OCR language in the software.

NOTE: If you are using the HP Photosmart Software, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software might not be installed on your computer. To install the OCR software, you must re-insert the software disk and select OCR under the Custom installation options.

See the documentation that came with Readiris, or whichever OCR software you use, for information on how to select the OCR language.

Cause: The scan document settings were not set to the correct optical character recognition (OCR) language.

The OCR language tells the software how to interpret the characters it sees in the original image. If the OCR language does not match the language in the original, the scanned text might be incomprehensible.
