Work with scan shortcuts

Scan shortcuts provide a way to store a set of scan settings for tasks that you perform regularly.

You can create, delete, and modify scan shortcuts in the HP Scanning shortcuts dialog box. If you are using HP Scanning, you can assign third-party software with a scan shortcut. For information about using and managing scan shortcuts, see the scanner software Help.

NOTE: You must upload your scan shortcuts to each network scanner on which you wish to have the shortcuts available.

Automatically rotate landscape pages

By default, document pages fed through the automatic document feeder (ADF) or placed on the scanner glass appear in the scan output in the same orientation as the originals. The scanner can rotate the scan data to produce portrait orientation output for landscape orientation originals.

To enable portrait output of landscape document originals, follow these steps:

1.Double-click the HP Scanning icon on the desktop, and then select Scan Preferences on the Options menu.

2.On the Document tab of the Scan Preferences dialog box, select Automatically rotate landscape pages, and then click OK.

NOTE: In other scanning software, the options for rotating pages are on the Layout tab of the ISIS or TWAIN Advanced Settings dialog box.
