Tips for scanning transparent items

•To scan non-negative transparent items larger than those that the transparent materials adapter (TMA) accepts, place the transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of paper on top of the tranparency, select a scan shortcut that does not use the TMA, and then scan.

•When scanning a negative, the default scan shortcut automatically enlarges the image to approximately 6.7 x 10 cm (2.64 x 4 in). If you want the final image to be larger or smaller, start the scan with the HP scanning software and then use the Resize tool in the HP Scanning preview window to set the scaling to the final size that you want. The scanner will scan the item to the size that you select and adjust the scan resolution as appropriate. For more information, see the scanner software help.
