Scanning quickly with scanner buttons

Use the scanner buttons to scan quickly to a destination using settings
optimized for that destination. A destination is a printer, file, or another
program, such as your e-mail or word-processing program.

If you are scanning slides or negatives using the HP Scanjet
Transparency Adapter (XPA), you must scan from the HP
Precisionscan Pro software. See

"Scanning from the XPA" on page 79

.

Scanning to the HP Precisionscan Pro software

When you use the Scan To button (

), you send directly to the HP

Precisionscan Pro software. Using the HP Precisionscan Pro software,
you can preview scanned images and make changes to the images
before you send them to a destination or file them.

1 If your scanner has a 16-character LCD, make sure that either

Powersave On, Ready, or HP Precisionscan appear on the LCD.
(See

"Front panel and accessories comparisons" on page 3

.)

Note:

If another program name appears in the LCD, press the

Select Destination button (

) up or down until

HP Precisionscan is listed in the scanner’s LCD.

2 Close the HP Scanjet Copy Utility and the HP Scanjet Controls

control panel if they are open on your computer.

3 Place the original face down on the scanner glass and close the lid.

To load items in the ADF, see

"Scanning from the ADF" on

page 78

.

4 Press the Scan To button on the front panel of the scanner.
5 Your computer opens the HP Precisionscan Pro software. A

preview of the scan appears in the Precisionscan Pro software
window.

For more information, see

"Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro" on

Tip

When scanning multiple pages without using an

ADF, the computer might prompt you for another

page. The HP Precisionscan Pro software adds

these pages to the current file. (To turn this feature

off, see

"Changing settings for buttons" on

page 35

.)
