Paper types suitable for scanning
The scanner does not support the full range of paper types that may be used by the printer.
The following paper types are supported by the scanner.
●White paper to scan any matte original printed with inkjet technology. Choose this option to scan, for instance, anything printed with this printer on any of these paper types: HP Universal Inkjet Bond Paper, HP Coated Paper, HP Heavyweight Coated Paper, plain paper.
●Photo paper to scan glossy and satin originals. Inkjet, offset and traditional photo technologies are supported by this option. Choose this option to scan, for instance, any photo or other image printed on any of these paper types: HP Universal High Gloss Photo Paper, HP Premium Instant Dry Gloss/Satin Photo Paper. However, for some specific photo originals, this option may not give completely accurate results, in which case you could try White paper instead.
CAUTION: Photo and glossy papers may be scratched while passing through the scanner.
●Old/recycled paper to scan matte originals printed on recycled paper or very old originals, the background of which is no longer white. Choose this option to scan, for instance, anything printed on this printer using HP Recycled Bond Paper, or any old print on plain paper that has become yellowish over the years.
●Translucent paper to scan

For best results, you should select the correct paper type in the scan settings before scanning.
