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

●
Smooth out any folds or curls in your documents before placing them into the document input tray. If
Documents with paper clips or staples
attached
dried, or with wet substances such as
glue or correction fluid
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.
●
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.

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.
ENWWLoad originals11
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.

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.

ENWWWork with scan profiles19
Scan long or extra-long documents
By default, the scanner will automatically detect your page size using the Auto detect size selection in the
page size drop-down list. If you select Auto detect standard size, the scanner will identify the page size
based upon one of the standard sizes in the list. These auto-detect selections work on any page size up to
356 mm (14 in) in length.
NOTE: Only one page at a time can be scanned when using a long or extra-long page setting.
If the scanner is set to scan long or extra-long pages and a page jams, the entire page could be wrinkled as a
result of the jam. Therefore, select scan profiles that specify long or extra-long pages only when you are
scanning pages longer than 356 mm (14 in).
To enable long or extra-long page scans in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:
1.Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2.Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3.On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Page Size.
4.Select the appropriate long-page option.
●
Long scans pages with a length between 356 mm (14 in) and 864 mm (34 in).
●
Extra Long scans pages with a length between 864 mm (34 in) and 3100 mm (122 in).
The maximum resolution for a Long document is 600 dpi. The maximum resolution for an Extra Long
document is 200 dpi.
NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to set the page size when scanning from non-HP
applications.
Some scanning and destination software might not support all of the page sizes that the scanner
accepts.
Scan to cloud
The Scan to cloud option in HP Smart Document Scan Software allows you to scan items to your network
destinations (for example, Dropbox™ or SkyDrive®). Your computer must be connected to the Internet to
complete this task. For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software Help.
20Chapter 3 Overview of scanning software featuresENWW
Faster scanning with hardware compression
The scanner supports multiple levels of JPEG compression to increase the rate of data transfer from the
scanner to the scanning software on the computer. The scanning software can uncompress the data in order
to create scanned images. JPEG compression works on grayscale and color scans.
To enable faster data transfer in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:
1.Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2.Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3.On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Hardware Options.
4.Use the Data transfer slider to set the level of compression.
●
Higher quality sets compression to a lower value, resulting in slower data transmission.
●
Lower quality sets compression to a higher value, resulting in faster data transmission.
NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to control compression when scanning from non-HP software.
Filter out color from a document (color dropout)
You can filter out a color channel (red, green, or blue) or up to three individual colors. For specific colors, the
sensitivity setting controls how closely a scanned color must approximate the specified color.
Removing colors from the scan might reduce the scan file size and improve optical character recognition
(OCR) results.
To select colors to eliminate from a scan in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:
1.Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2.Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3.On the Scan Settings tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Color Dropout.

Clean the scanning strips inside the document feeder.
●
Check the data transfer compression setting. If scanner compression is high, scanned data might be lost
by the compression.
ENWWScanner operation problems45
Scanned pages are out of order at the scan destination
●
Verify that the page order of the original document is correct before placing the document face down
into the document input tray.
●
Make sure that there are no staples, paper clips, or any other attached material (such as adhesive
notes) that may cause the pages to feed incorrectly.
●
Verify that pages are not stuck together.
Optimize scanning and task speeds
Several settings influence the total time for a scanning job. When you want to optimize scanning
performance, consider the following information.
●
To optimize performance, make sure your computer meets the recommended system requirements. To
view minimum and recommended system requirements, see
search on your scanner model, and then search on datasheet.
●
In the scanning software, choose the layout setting that matches the orientation of the originals in the
document input tray.
●
In the HP Smart Document Scan Software, adjust the data transfer rate. A low setting produces a higher
quality scan image at a slower scan speed; a high setting produces a lower quality scan image at a
faster scan speed. For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software Help.
www.hp.com, select your country/region,
●
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 that you need a searchable output file before selecting a searchable scan format.
NOTE: For the best OCR results, scanner compression should be set to the minimum compression
level.
●
For most fonts, 300 dpi is sufficient for using optical character recognition (OCR) to create editable
text.
●
For Asian fonts and small fonts, 400 dpi is the recommended resolution.
●
Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary increases scanning time and creates a larger file with no
additional benefit. If you are scanning at a high resolution, set the resolution to a lower level to increase
scanning speed.
The scan is completely black or completely white
●
The item might not be placed correctly in the document input tray. Make sure that the item you are
trying to scan is placed face down in the document input tray.
●
If you are scanning to a black and white image, make sure your black and white threshold is not set to
either extreme (0 or 255). Setting the threshold to an extreme will result in an image that is all white or
all black.
Scanned images are not straight
●
Verify that the document feeder guides are centered on the scanner and set to an appropriate width for
the original being scanned. Make sure the paper guides touch the edges of the original.

ENWWScanner operation problems47
Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary creates a larger file with no additional benefit.
●
Color scans create larger files than do black and white scans.
●
If you are scanning a large number of pages at one time, consider scanning fewer pages at a time to
create more, smaller files.

Paper jamming, skewing, misfeeds, or multiple-page feeds
●
Scanning damp or wet pages can cause paper jams. Make sure that the pages you are feeding are
completely dry (toner is dry, there are no wet substances such as glue or correction fluid).
●
Check that all rollers are in place, are clean, and that the roller door and document feeder hatch are
closed.
●
If you are scanning a mixed-size stack, make sure the pages are properly prepared and placed in the
document input tray as shown

◦
Arrange documents face down with the largest document on the bottom of the stack (1).
◦
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.
◦
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).
●
If the pages look skewed as they feed into the scanner paper path, check the resulting scanned images
in the software to ensure that they are not skewed.
●
The pages might not be placed correctly. Straighten the pages and adjust the paper guides to center the
stack.
●
The paper guides must be touching the sides of the paper stack to work properly. Please ensure that the
paper stack is straight and the guides are against the paper stack.
50Chapter 5 TroubleshootingENWW
●
The input tray or output tray might contain more than the maximum number of pages. Load fewer
pages in the input tray, and remove pages from the output tray.
●
Clean the scanner paper path to help reduce misfeeds. If misfeeds still occur, clean the rollers. If
misfeeds still occur, replace the rollers.
Scanning fragile originals
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.
Paper does not feed from the scanner
Reload the pages into the document input tray, ensuring that they make contact with the rollers.
The document feeder hatch might not be securely latched. Open the hatch and then close it, pressing firmly
to ensure the hatch is closed.
A problem with the scanner hardware might exist. Follow this procedure to test the scanner:
1.Ensure that the power supply is securely connected between the scanner and a live electrical outlet or
surge protector. Check that the green LED on the power supply case is on to verify that the power
supply is functional.
2.If the power supply is connected to a surge protector, ensure that the surge protector is plugged into an
outlet and turned on.
3.Press the Power (
then turn off the computer to which the scanner is connected. Wait 30 seconds, reconnect the power

Originals are curling up in the scanner output tray
Under dry conditions, lightweight originals such as those printed on carbonless copy paper may curl in the
output tray. To minimize curl, flatten curled edges on the originals before placing them in the document input
tray. If you cannot flatten curled edges, make sure the curled edges are facing down when you place the
originals in the input tray.
The bottom of the scanned image is cut off
By default, the scanning software can scan media that is up to 356 mm (14 in) long. For longer pages, the end
of the document is not included in the scanned image unless you specify a page size appropriate for the
length of the original.
If you scan a page longer than the page size specified in the scanning software, the LCD will display a PaperJam error.
ENWWScanner paper path problems51
The scanned images have streaks or scratches
After each step, try another scan to see if the streaks or scratches are still apparent. If so, then try the next
step. For information on cleaning the scanner, see the Care and maintenance section of the User Guide.
●
Check that the originals are clean and unwrinkled.
●
Clean the scanning strips inside the document feeder.
●
Clean the rollers.
An item loaded in the scanner jams repeatedly
●
The item might not meet the guidelines for acceptable originals.
●
The item might have something on it, such as staples or self-adhesive notes on the original that must
be removed.
●
Check for any tears or holes in the document.
●
Make sure the paper guides touch the edges of the original.
Clear jams from the scanner paper path
To clear a paper jam, complete these steps:
1.Remove any pages from the document input tray.
2.Open the document feeder hatch.
3.Remove the originals or any obstructions from the paper path.
4.Remove any visible debris (for example, paper, staples, or clips) from the paper path.
5.Close the document feeder hatch.
6.Reload the unscanned originals in the document input tray.
7.Resume scanning.
