Back to TOC To reduce file size: l Save files using a compressed format, such as TIFF compressed or JPEG. l Avoid using the True Color output type unless necessary. This output type offers exceptional quality for color photos or drawings, but it also creates large file sizes. l Set the resolution no higher than necessary. Generally, the resolution the software automatically sets provides the best balance between image quality and small file size. l For photos, significantly reduce file size by cropping the photo to select just one area as the final scanned image. Or, resize the entire photo to smaller dimensions. The HP Precisionscan Pro software sets the resolution for you based on the original document attributes. In almost all cases, you get the best results and the smallest file size using the default resolution. A computer screen usually displays images at 72 to 75 pixels per inch (PPI). Print resolution is usually higher. Screens also use fewer colors to display an image. Even if an image looks incorrect on the screen, it might print the way you want. Getting started 23 Use Zoom In to view an area of the scanned image close up. Use Zoom Out to return to the original view of the image. The zoom commands do not change the final size of your scan; they just give you a different view on a monitor. To reduce or enlarge the size of the final scan, use the Resize command on the Tools menu. When you scan an item containing text, you can use the text either as a scanned image, such as a fax or photo archive, or as text you can edit. To have the optical character recognition (OCR) software make the text editable automatically and send the text to a supported wordprocessing program, press the Scan To button ( ). In the HP Precisionscan Pro software, choose Scan To from the Scan menu. Then choose Text File from the Destination pull-down menu and click Scan. Tip Perform a spell-check after you have successfully scanned your text to a word-processing program.

To reduce file size:
l
Save files using a compressed format, such as TIFF compressed
or JPEG.
l
Avoid using the True Color output type unless necessary. This
output type offers exceptional quality for color photos or drawings,
but it also creates large file sizes.
l
Set the resolution no higher than necessary. Generally, the
resolution the software automatically sets provides the best
balance between image quality and small file size.
l
For photos, significantly reduce file size by cropping the photo to
select just one area as the final scanned image. Or, resize the
entire photo to smaller dimensions.
The HP Precisionscan Pro software sets the resolution for you based
on the original document attributes. In almost all cases, you get the
best results and the smallest file size using the default resolution.
A computer screen usually displays images at 72 to 75 pixels per inch
(PPI). Print resolution is usually higher. Screens also use fewer colors
to display an image. Even if an image looks incorrect on the screen, it
might print the way you want.
Use
Zoom In
to view an area of the scanned image close up. Use
Zoom Out
to return to the original view of the image.
The zoom commands do not change the final size of your scan; they
just give you a different view on a monitor. To reduce or enlarge the
size of the final scan, use the
Resize
command on the
Tools
menu.
When you scan an item containing text, you can use the text either as
a scanned image, such as a fax or photo archive, or as text you can
edit.
To have the optical character recognition (OCR) software make the
text editable automatically and send the text to a supported word-
processing program, press the Scan To button (
). In the
HP Precisionscan Pro software, choose
Scan To
from the
Scan
menu.
Then choose
Text File
from the
Destination
pull-down menu and click
Scan
.
Tip
Perform a spell-check after you have successfully
scanned your text to a word-processing program.
