Tips for scanning transparent items

To scan 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 transparency, 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.
