Scanner Frequently Asked Questions


What are the steps to be followed while trying to scan a document? Let us call the document to be scanned as the original. Steps to be followed while trying to scan this are:
  • Lift the scanner flap.
  • Place the original face down on the scanner glass
  • Select the Scanner software (Goto Start > Programs> Hp Scan Jet Software > Hp PrecisionScan Pro)
  • Hit Ctrl + R for Scan preview or Click on the Scan Preview icon that looks likeScanner
  • Create a selection area by clicking on the area of the image you want to work with. A rectangular border may automatically surround the area you selected. If not, click on one corner of the area you want to work with and drag diagonally to create border.
  • Goto the Output type menu. Choose the output type. Some output types are text,256 color, black and white etc.
  • Set output dimensions if you need to resize the original.

What are the supported output types?
  • The supported output types are True Color, Gray Scale, Black and white, 256 color and text. If the original contains just images then the best output types would be true color, 256 color or even gray scale depending upon the user’s requirements. In all these cases the document gets saved as a bitmap file.
  • If the original contains just text, the best output type would be text in which case it gets saved as a text file.
  • If the original contains text and images, true color, gray scale and 256 color are best options, as choosing text will result in the loss of the images.

Can the documents be used with Word? If the original contained both text and images, it can always be scanned as a bitmap by choosing the output type as true color. This can later on be imported into a word file. But saving directly onto a word file may not be possible with HP Scan Pro.
