Background

Today’s scanners offer many features, from basic resolution settings and file output formats,
to more advanced options like auto-crop, auto-orient, and blank page removal. In the past,
organising these capabilities in a meaningful way has been a challenge for scanner
manufacturers designing user interfaces (UI). Most UIs were able to present basic settings, but
failed to provide clear access to the full range of the scanner’s capabilities.

To find many settings, the user would have to navigate through multiple levels, clicking buttons

Advanced, Options, or Configuration. Different categories were either organised using

such as
tabs or nested dialog boxes, providing access and visibility to only one set of options at a time.
Not only was it difficult to get an overview of your scan job settings, it could potentially cause
conflict, with settings in one area impacting settings in another.

While an expert user may have become familiar with the availability and location of different
settings, casual users had to discover them again and again—or they may have ignored the
advanced settings entirely.

Most commercial scan solutions allow users to save a set of predefined scan settings,
eliminating the need to individually select the same settings every time. While the solutions
vary, these sets are often designated by a name or a number, with no indication of its purpose.
And in many cases, the sets are buried in a UI dialogue.

HP’s next-generation, improved user interface

Rather than arbitrarily distributing settings, as other manufacturers do, HP’s easy-to-use
TWAIN UI presents the most frequently modified settings first, with easy and intuitive access to
additional settings for fine-tuning. Currently supported by HP ScanJet Pro 2500 f1, 3500 f1,
and 4500 fn1, the HP TWAIN UI has a look and feel in common with HP Scan Software and
takes usability to the next level.
