Scanning Images
We can scan anything. Pictures, objectsit
really does not matter what the item is. We can
make a digital copy of it with a scanner. The
only concern we must have is how to do it and
what are we going to do with the image once it is
scanned.
5
Step One
Double Click on the HP Precision Scan Pro icon.
This will open the program and display the
screen below.

• Step Two
• Next, raise the cover of the scanner and place
  the item to be scanned, face down and in the
  upper right hand corner as shown.
• Close the lid and return back to the desktop.

7

• Step Three
• Click the Scan button. It is the first button
  on the tool bar.
• There will be a window appear that
  saysWaitwhile the bulb warms up
• The scanner will then scan and display on the
  screen what was scanned.

For the purpose of this example, I placed my desk
name plate on the scanner and clicked the Scan
button. The computer will attempt to recognize
whether the scanned item is and image or is text.
For this example, the computer recognized the
name plate as an image. The next step is to set
the resolution. Resolution is a key element.
The greater the resolution, the larger the file
size. The lower the resolution, the smaller the
file size. This is important. When you go to
save the image, if the resolution is too large,
it may not fit on a diskette. If you are
scanning for use in Power Point or on the Web,
keep the resolution below 150. Now, this is how
to display the resolution and change it.
9

• Changing the Resolution
• Click Tools
• Click Output Resolution

Using the down arrow, change it to a suitable
number.
10
Output Type Click and drag a box around the area
you wish to scan for the final image. The
computer will attempt to recognize it as an image
or as text. Be certain that the image is going
to be scanned in True Color
If it does not, click Output Type on the menu
and select True Color.
11

• Saving the image
• Now that you have selected the scanned area and
  selected the output type and the resolution
• Click Scan
• Then select Save as

12
At this window, select where the image is to be
saved
Give the file a name. Remember that if you are
going to use this image on the Web, you must not
use space in the file name and it must be in the
index folder.
Finally, be certain that the file type is .jpg
Now click Save

Scanning Text

• Scanning text is easier with our new technology.
  We can take a hard copy and scan it. The
  computer will put it into Microsoft Word. At
  that time, we can save it, print it, or edit it.
• No more retyping. You just need a hard copy and
  follow the steps.
• Open the HP ScanJet as was described earlier in
  the packet.

14
Lift and place your document face down in the
upper right hand corner. Click Output Type and
select Text Click the Scan To button.
15
The program will prompt you with the
Destination window. Scroll down until you can
select Microsoft Word 2000. Then click Scan
It is very important that the Output Type is
text

It is magic
You may be asked if you want to scan another
document into the current page. Answer
Done. Microsoft Word 2000 will open and your
document will appear in Word. At this time you
can change font or adjust margins. Save the
document
