Should I change the resolution?
The HP PrecisionScan Pro software sets the resolution for you. In
almost all cases, you get the best results and the smallest file size if
you use the resolution the software has determined to be best for the
type of original you have.
What is the difference between screen and print quality?
A computer screen usually displays images at 72 to 75 pixels per inch
(PPI). Print resolution is usually higher. Screens also use fewer colors
to display an image. Even if an image looks incorrect on the screen, it
might print the way you want.
What is the difference between zooming and resizing?
Use Zoom In to view an area of the scanned image close up. Use
Zoom Out to return to the original view of the image.
The zoom commands do not change the final size of your scan; they
just give you a different view on a monitor. To reduce or enlarge the
size of the final scan, use the Resize command on the Tools menu.
What do I need to know about scanning text?
When you scan an item containing text, you can use the text either as
a scanned image, such as a fax or photo archive, or as text you can
edit. Do one of the following to have the optical character recognition
(OCR) software make the text editable automatically and send the text
to a supported word-processing program:
●
Use the
E
DIT
T
EXT
scanner button. Editable text appears in the
word-processing program associated with the button.
●
In the HP PrecisionScan Pro software, choose Scan To from the
Scan menu, choose Text File from the Destination pull-down
menu, and click Scan.
