66 Scanning from HP Precisionscan Pro Back to TOC
Dragging-and-dropping to the Windows
Desktop or a folder
Scanned images you drag-and-drop to the Windows Desktop or a
folder in Windows Explorer become a bitmap file. The bitmap file is
given a generic name such as “scan.bmp.” Subsequent images
scanned to the Desktop or that folder replace the current one.
Therefore, if you want to save a scanned image, rename it before you
drag-and-drop another image to that location.
To drag-and-drop to the Windows Desktop or a folder
1 Make sure you can see both the HP Precisionscan Pro software
and the Desktop or the folder you want in Windows Explorer.
2 In the HP Precisionscan Pro software, place the cursor over the
scanned image.
3 Press C
TRL and click over the selection area.
4 While holding down the mouse button, drag the scanned image to
the Desktop or folder and release the mouse button. Wait until the
scanner performs the final scan.
Scanning to CD
The Scan to CD function is a quick, convenient way to scan and save
scanned items to a rewritable CD. This feature is a helpful shortcut for
people who frequently archive or store scans on CDs. To scan to a
CD, you must have CD-writer hardware installed and have a rewritable
CD available.
To scan to CD
1 Start a new scan, and make any adjustments you want in using the
scanning software.
2 In the HP Precisionscan Pro software, do one of the following:
On the Scan menu, click Scan to CD.On the toolbar, click
(Scan to CD).
A Save As dialog appears.
3 If a CD-writer drive is installed, this drive is automatically listed at
the top of the dialog. If you have created folders on your CD to
organize images, select the desired folder in which to save the
scan.
4 Type in a file name.
5 In the Save As Type list, select the file type. To change the file
type, select a different file type in the drop-down list.
6 Click Save.
