About scan profiles

If you have scan tasks that you perform frequently, you can use a scan profile to create and save a set of scan settings. This lets you quickly use the same settings each time you perform a specific scan task. You can also map a scan profile to a scanner button.
Once a profile is created, you can use the HP Smart Document Scan Software to:
Select a profile and start a scan
Edit a profile
Delete a profile
Create a new profile based on an existing profile
TIP: HP Smart Document Scan Software comes with default profiles to get you started.
If you want to use your profiles from the Scan Simplex ( ) and Scan Duplex ( ) buttons, use the HP Scanner Tools Utility to:
Add profiles to the scanner LCD's profile list
Reorder profiles in the scanner LCD's profile list

Document loading tips
The maximum capacity of the document input tray is 50 sheets of 75 g/m using heavier paper, the maximum capacity is decreased.
The maximum card capacity, for card stock up to 15 points, is approximately 9–10 cards.
Be sure that your documents are within these guidelines:
Width: 52 mm to 216 mm (2.1 in to 8.5 in)
Length: 74 mm to 3100 mm (2.9 in to 122 in)
Weight:
Use the Auto detect size setting for page size, or set the page size to match the width and
length of the page that you are scanning. For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software Help.
The scanner document feeder can process cards that meet the following specifications:
Minimum size: 52 mm x 74 mm (2.1 in x 2.9 in)
Maximum size: 210 mm x 269 mm (8.3 in x 10.6 in)

attached
Papers that are stuck together Paper where the toner has not fully
dried, or with wet substances such as glue or correction fluid
Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the document input tray.
If the leading edge of a document is curled or folded, it may cause a paper jam.
When loading paper that is smaller than 74 mm (2.9 in) in one dimension (such as business
cards), place the pages with the long side parallel to the paper guides.
To scan fragile documents (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper),
place the document in a clear, heavyweight document sleeve no wider than 216 mm (8.5 in) before loading them into the document input tray.
TIP: If you do not have an appropriately sized document sleeve, consider using a sleeve
intended for use in a ring binder. Trim the ring-side edge so the sleeve is no more than 216 mm (8.5 in) wide.
Make sure that the hatch on the document feeder is securely latched. To properly close the hatch,
press until you hear a click.
Adjust the paper guides to the width of the documents. Make sure that the paper guides touch the
edges of the original. If there is any clearance between the paper guides and the edges of the documents, the scanned image might be skewed.
When scanning a stack of mixed-width pages, center-justify the stack. Be aware that pages
narrower than the maximum width in the stack may skew.
10 Chapter 2 Use the scanner ENWW
When placing a stack of documents into the document input tray, gently place the stack face
down in the input tray with the top of the document pointing downward. Do not drop the stack into the input tray and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed the stack in the input tray.
Clean the scan rollers if the rollers are visibly dirty or after scanning a document written with or
written on with pencil.

Load documents

1. Extend the document input and output trays.
a. Locate the recessed input tray extension at the top of the input tray, and then press down at
the arrow and release to extend the input tray extension.
b. Slide out the output tray, and then fold out the output tray extension and paper guides.
2. Adjust the paper guides on the document input tray to the width of the documents. Take care not
to overtighten the guides, which can restrict paper feeding.
When scanning small originals such as checks, it is especially important that the paper guides fit snugly against the edges of the original yet not restrict paper feeding.
12 Chapter 2 Use the scanner ENWW
3. Fan the stack of document pages to ensure that the pages do not stick together. Fan the edge that
will be pointing into the feeder in one direction, and then fan that same edge in the opposite direction.
4. Align the edges of the documents by resting the side of the stack against a flat surface (such as a
table top), then gently tapping the upper edge until the pages are aligned. Never tap the stack against the table top. Rotate the stack 90 degrees so that the top edge of the document is resting on the table top and repeat.
5. Gently set the stack in the document input tray. Load the pages face down with the top of the
pages pointing into the document feeder.
For best results, grip the stack on the left and right edges as shown, do not drop the stack into the document input tray, and do not tap the top edge of the stack after you have placed it in the document input tray.

If the stack has mixed-width pages, make sure the pages are center-justified as shown.

a. Arrange documents face down with the largest document on the bottom of the stack (1).
b. Place the next largest document face down on the largest document, top-justified and
centered horizontally.
Repeat this step for each document in the stack.
c. When the stack is top-justified and centered horizontally, rotate the stack 180 degrees (2),
and place the stack in the document input tray (3).
TIP: Avoid feeding a document with a leading edge that has been folded or frayed. When you
begin scanning, select a profile whose page loading selection matches the edge you are feeding first to ensure that the scan reflects the orientation of the original document.
6. Verify that the paper guides are aligned with the edges of the stack.

Load cards into the document input tray

To load cards into the document input tray, follow these steps:
1. Place the stack of cards face down with the long dimension parallel to the paper guides.
2. Adjust the paper guides to center the cards, making sure the paper guides touch the edges of the
cards.

Scan from ISIS- or TWAIN-compliant scanning software

You can scan an image or document directly into a software program if the program is ISIS- or TWAIN­compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as Acquire, Scan, Import New Object, or Insert. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.
