Scans one or more pages and saves them as a PDF file for sharing or storing.

Image quality (6-color scanning) vs. speed

When scanning images using the HP Scanjet G4000 series scanners, you can configure the scan settings for either fast scanning or higher-quality output. If you choose to take advantage of this product's high quality output by using the optimum color accuracy options, the scanning process will be slower.

The HP Scanjet G4000 series scanners include the 6-color scanning feature. This technology makes it possible for a scanning device to detect a wider range of color. The result is more realistic photo reproductions with greater color accuracy. The term 6-color refers to amount of information collected for each pixel during the scanning process, not the number of colors in the output.

Tip Try the higher-quality scan settings first on a small number of images,

especially when using the HP Scanjet G4050 TMA. This will give you an idea of the scan speed so that you know what to expect when you scan a larger batch of images.

3. Point to Scan Settings.

Scan from the HP Solution Center

Scan from the HP Solution Center when you want more control during the scanning process, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan, use more advanced features, or change scan settings.

To start the HP Solution Center:

1. Do one of the following: a. On the Windows desktop, double-click the HP Solution Center icon.

b. On the taskbar, click Start, point to Programs or All Programs, point to HP,

and then click HP Solution Center.

2. If you have installed more than one HP device, click the tab for the scanner. The HP Solution Center shows only the functions, settings, and support options that are appropriate for the selected HP device.

Scan from other software programs

You can scan an image directly into one of your software programs if the program is TWAIN compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has a menu option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.

Preview a scanned image

If you want to preview the scanned image, either begin the scan from the HP Solution Center, or click Show Preview in the What are you scanning? dialog box.

To change the button settings for the scanner so that the software always prompts you with a preview of the picture or document, see Change scan settings.
