EVALUATING THE SCANNER FUNCTIONALITY

This section provides information and guidelines for evaluating select features offered with the HP Scanjet N9120 Document Flatbed Scanner.

Before you begin

Obtain one or more single-sided and two-sided documents containing text and graphics (business graphs or charts) in A4 and A3 sizes, or bound documents such as stapled reports. You will use the items for evaluation activities, such as scanning documents, creating black-and-white or colour copies, and using the imprinter.

General guidelines to consider in scanner evaluations

Obtain quality originals.

Test with originals that are typical of what an end-user will scan.

Consider including performance of typical tasks in your review.

Setup and installation

Install the scanning software and set up your evaluation unit following the steps in the HP Scanjet N9120 Getting Started Guide. For information on setting up the imprinter and installing the HP Inkjet Print Cartridge, see the HP Scanjet N9120 User Guide. Evaluate the user documentation for helpfulness.

Scanning documents

The basic steps for scanning are:

Load the originals.

Do one of the following:

Press the Scan button on the scanner front panel to start scanning with the assigned software (and profile, if appropriate).

On the computer, click on the HP Smart Document Scan Software icon to open the application, select a profile, and then initiate a scan.

On the computer, open a TWAIN, ISIS or WIA compliant application and select the scanner data source. Select the appropriate settings, and then initiate a scan.

Associate a quick start button with scanning software

The scanner includes two quick start buttons, Scan and Copy. You can associate any button- aware scanning software with each of these buttons using the following steps:
