corner of the glass.
TIP: For quality copies, ensure that the scanner glass is clean and that there are
no foreign materials adhering to it. For more information, see Clean the glass .

If the original is a document, the HP All-in-One scans it automatically. If the original
is a photo, a preview image of the scan appears on your computer, where you can
edit it. Any edits that you make apply to the current scan session only.
The HP Photosmart Software has many tools that you can use to edit your scanned
image. You can improve the overall image quality by adjusting the brightness,
sharpness, color tone, or saturation. You can also crop, rotate, or resize the image.
3. Make any edits to the preview image, and then click Accept when you are finished.
