50 Scanning from HP PrecisionScan Pro Back to TOC
Completing the final scan
When you finish making changes, you need to complete the final scan
by doing one of these tasks:
● Sending to a program. See this page.
● Returning the image to a program that supports TWAIN or the HP
ScanJet Plug-in. See page 51.
● Saving to a file. See page 52.
● Printing. See page 54.
● Placing a scan on a website. See page 55.
● Copying and pasting into another program. See page 57.
● Dragging-and-dropping into another program. See page 57.
● Dragging-and-dropping to the desktop or a folder. See page 58.
When you do any of these procedures, the scanner performs a final
scan including your changes before sending it to the program or printer
you choose, copying the image, etc.
Images are not automatically saved as files if you print them, send
them to a another program, or copy and paste them into a file in
another program. To use the scanned image again, be sure to save it.
See "Saving to a file" on page 52.
Sending to a program
Once you finish viewing and changing the scanned image, you can
perform a final scan and send it directly to a program such as e-mail. If
the program you want is not available, save the image as a file and
insert it into the destination program as you normally would.
To create editable text, you can send the scan to a text file and select a
text or text-and-image file format. See "List of file types" on page 52.
Tip
If you send text to Word or another word-processing
program and the text appears inside a frame you do not
want, double-click the frame border and click Remove
Frame or a similar command. To prevent this from
happening in the future, see "Setting preferences" on
page 60.
To send to a program
1 On the Scan menu, click Scan To.
2 Choose a program from the list and click Scan.
3 If the program you select accepts multipage files, you might be
asked if you have more pages to scan to this file. Do one of the
following:
● If this is a one-page item, click Done.
● If there are more pages of this item, load the next page in the
scanner and click Scan on the computer. Repeat until all pages
are scanned. Then, click Done.
The destination program opens and displays the scanned image.
