HP M1300 manual Scanning

If your device is not recognized:

◦Verify that your cable is USB 2.0 high-speed compliant.

◦Ensure that your cable is connected correctly. Remove the USB cable, look at the end of the cable, and then match it to the pattern on the USB port. Make sure that it is not upside down. Insert one end of the USB cable completely into the USB port on the HP device and the other end into the back of the computer.

◦Check that the peripheral is powered on. Peripherals will not be recognized if the power is off.

◦Ensure that your USB cable is no more than 15 feet or 5 meters in length.

◦Check that the USB port is enabled. Some PCs ship with disabled USB ports.

◦If you are using a docking station or port replicator with a laptop, try connecting the USB cable to a port on the laptop instead.

◦Some PCs/laptops do not have sufficient power to the USB ports. Try using a USB powered hub if the device is still not recognized if the above steps do not resolve the issue.

●On a Thai system, some components may show English text.

Scanning

●Scanning at higher resolutions can take a long time to scan and the process and will create big files. For most purposes, the best compromise between quality and time or size is provided by the default resolution. Scanning over the network can also take a long time.

●The default file type for the HP LaserJet Scan software is JPEG when scanning to a file, and the default file type is PDF when scanning to e-mail. A JPEG file supports 256 Gray Shades (8 bit) output type. If you select an output type of black and white (1 bit), the file produced will still be in the JPEG format. To get a true black and white output type, change the setting for the default file type to either TIF or BMP in the Save Settings dialog under the Scan Picture Settings accessed through the Settings menu in the HP LaserJet Scan software for your device.

●Make sure the lid is correctly centered on the scanner to prevent stray light from entering into the scan, producing the best autocrop results. Some images may not autocrop well even when the lid is on properly. In these instances you will need to manually draw the crop area.

●OCR recommendations for input files:

◦300 dpi, 8-bit grayscale or 24-bit image data.

◦400 dpi, 8-bit grayscale or 24-bit image data for Asian languages (Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean).

◦Do not use 1-bit files for OCR.

●Adding a few sheets of paper on top of flatbed scanned originals can help eliminate bleed through of the second side image or foam mat and to help flatten the original.
