Scanning tips
Optimize scanning and task speeds
Several settings inuence the total time for a scanning job. To optimize scanning performance, consider the
following information.
●
To optimize performance, make sure the computer meets the recommended system requirements. To
view minimum and recommended system requirements, see www.hp.com, and then search for the
scanner model plus the word
specications.
●
Saving a scanned image to a searchable format (for example, searchable PDF) takes more time than
saving to an image format because the scanned image is analyzed using Optical Character Recognition
(OCR). Verify the need for a searchable output le before selecting a searchable scan format.
●
Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary increases scanning time and creates a larger le with no
additional benet. If scanning at a high resolution, set the resolution to a lower level to increase
scanning speed.
Scanning fragile originals
To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the
document in face down on the atbed scanner glass.
