Overview of the HP software
●The HP Director provides easy access to the software applications, default
settings, status, and on-screen help for your HP device. By using the HP
Director, you can scan various types of originals (pictures, slides, negatives,
and documents), make copies, view and print images or video clips, go to
the HP Shopping website, and update your HP software.
●The HP Image Zone provides tools for managing your still photos,
scanned images, and video clips. You can easily edit and print your images,
use them in various projects, and share them with family and friends.
●Using the HP Scanning software, you can scan items such as pictures,
slides, negatives, and documents, and then save them or send them to a
destination of your choice (such as a software application or file). The
software gives you the option of previewing images before the final scan
takes place. While previewing, you can adjust the image to achieve the final
effect that you want. The software also allows you to configure scan settings.
●The HP Copy software sends scanned images directly to your printer.
For more information on the HP software, see the HP Director on-screen help.

Scanning overview
4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo holder
The HP Scanjet 4070 scanner features the photo holder, which enables you to
insert, scan, and remove multiple 4 x 6 (10 x 15 cm) pictures quickly and easily.
For more information about the photo holder, see “Scan from the 4 x 6 inch (10 x
15 cm) photo holder” on page 7.
Transparent materials adapter (TMA)
You can use the transparent materials adapter (TMA) to scan 35 mm slides and
negatives.
For more information about the TMA, see “Scan slides and negatives” on page 9.
Note Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software on-screen help for
information about scanning procedures.
Tip High resolution is usually only necessary when attempting to increase the
size of very small images (for instance, scanning a stamp-sized image, or
scanning 35 mm negatives or color slides and enlarging them to A4 size).
In most cases, optimal scanning can be achieved by adjusting the
resolution of the scan to a resolution appropriate for the intended use of the
image. Scanning at a resolution higher than necessary only increases your
file size, slows down printing, and in some cases makes the image
impossible to print on a particular printer. For more information, open the
HP Director software, select your scanner in the Select Device list, click
Help, and in the HP Image Zone software on-screen help, see the HP
Scanjet scanner on-screen help.
You can start scanning in one of three ways:
●
Scan from the scanner's front panel buttons
The front panel buttons on the scanner provide shortcuts to frequently used
scanning functions, such as scanning pictures, slides, negatives, and
documents. Descriptions for using the front panel buttons are located in this
manual (see “Front panel and accessories overview” on page 5).
●
Scan from the HP Director
Scan from the HP Director software when you want more control of your
scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.

You can bring an image directly into an open file in one of your applications

compliant if it has an option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If
you are unsure whether the application is compliant or what the option is,

Scan from the 4 x 6 inch (10 x 15 cm) photo holder
The photo holder is a fast, convenient way to scan multiple photos. The photo
holder holds up to 24 pictures. The pictures are held securely in place for
consistent placement while scanning. The photo holder accepts only photos
that meet the following specifications:
●Standard 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15 cm) pictures
●Media that is in good condition (not fragile or worn)
●Media that is free of glue, tape, or other sticky material
If the photo you want to scan in the photo holder does not meet these guidelines,
place the photo on the scanner glass underneath the HP Photo Door or
underneath the scanner lid.

Tips for scanning slides and negatives
●To scan a transparency that was used for an overhead projector, place the
transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of paper on top of
the transparency, and then scan as usual.
●When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software
automatically enlarges the image to approximately 4 x 6 inches (10 x 15
cm). If you want the final image to be larger or smaller, use the Resize tool
in the scanner software to set the scaling to final size you want; the scanner
will scan the item at the proper resolution and enlargement for the size you
choose.

Care and maintenance
Occasional cleaning of your scanner helps ensure optimal performance. The
amount of care necessary depends upon several factors, including the amount
of use and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as necessary.
Caution Avoid placing items with sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so
can damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass,
make sure the item is free of wet glue, correction fluid, or other
substances that can be transferred to the glass.
●
Clean the scanner glass
Disconnect the USB cable and power cable from the scanner.
Clean the glass using a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with a mild glass
cleaner, drying the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
Caution Use only glass cleaner. Avoid abrasives, acetone,
benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the
scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave streaks
on the glass.
14HP Scanjet 4070 Photosmart scanner
Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much glass
cleaner is applied, the cleaner could run to the edges and damage the
scanner.
When finished, reconnect the USB cable and power cable to the scanner.
Note For instructions on how to clean the underside of the scanner glass,

Frequently asked questions
This section provides information on some common questions, and provides
answers to those questions as well.

power cable to the scanner.
The carriage in the scanner should move forward. The scanner lamp should
blink six times. Then the scanner carriage should move backwards.
4To end the test, disconnect the power cable.
How do I turn off the lamp?
The scanner lamp should time out and turn off automatically after a period of
inactivity (about 14 minutes). If it does not turn off automatically, do the following:
1From the HP Director, click Settings.
2Select Scan Settings & Preferences.

If the scanner lamp problems continue, see “Customer support” on page 22.
How do I turn off the scanner?
Normally you do not need to turn off the scanner because after a period of
inactivity (about 14 minutes), the scanner reduces to a low-power mode. If you
need to turn off the scanner completely, disconnect it from the power source
(electrical outlet or surge protector).
16HP Scanjet 4070 Photosmart scanner
How do I resolve issues with scanning documents or text?
The scanner uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to convert text on a
page to text that you can edit on your computer.
●If you scan text but cannot edit it, make sure you make the following
selections during scanning:
–What are you scanning? Select Document.
–Scan for editable text? Select Yes.
●Scanned text may not appear on your computer exactly as it appeared on
the page. For example, some characters may be incorrect or missing. As
you edit the text, verify the scanned text and make corrections as necessary.
●To change text scanning options, from the HP Director, click Settings, Scan
Settings & Preferences, and then click Button Settings. Click the Scan
Document button (Director) tab.
Note OCR is installed automatically when you install the scanning software
during scanner setup.
Scanner installation or setup issues
This section contains solutions for installation and setup problems.
Check your computer
●Ensure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements listed
on the scanner box.
●If you do not have enough hard-disk space, remove unnecessary files or
install the software on a different disk drive.
English
Use administrative privileges
If you are installing the scanner on a Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP system, you
must be logged on as an Administrator. See your operating system help for how
to log on as an Administrator.
Use a valid folder
On a Microsoft Windows computer, if you receive a message such as
