Scan oversized items
If you have an item to scan that is larger than the scanning glass, you can scan it
in multiple sections, and then connect the sections with ArcSoft Panorama
Maker software.
Use the Panorama Maker software to connect multiple scans. Use the ReadIris
Pro software if you want to convert a document into editable text. If you did not
install this software when you set up the scanner, insert the scanner CD to install
it now. See the Setup Poster for installation information.
Note Macintosh users, see the HP Image Zone software Help for information
about scanning procedures.
1 Remove the scanner from the holder:
a If you have a horizontal holder, remove the scanner by pressing down
on one tab on the hinge and then lifting the scanner off the holder.
b If you have a vertical holder, remove the scanner by lifting it off the
holder.
2
Place the scanner with the viewing side (light frame) up (
) on the item to
scan. Place the scanner so you can see the upper left portion of the item
through the scanner, using the frame around the scanner glass to position
the item.
3
Press the Scan button (
) on the scanner.
4 In the dialog box that appears, select:
a Picture if you are scanning a photograph or other artwork.
b Document if you are scanning text or both text and graphics. You must
select No when asked Scan for Editable Text (OCR)?
5 Select Panorama Maker as the destination, and click Scan in the dialog
box. The item is scanned.
Note If you see a preview dialog now, this procedure will not work as
documented. See Change settings to turn preview off.
6 Align the scanner on the next section of the item. Overlap the sections by at
least 1.3 mm (1/2 inch). Press the Scan button (
) on the scanner.
Continue to scan each section of the item until you are done.
7 When you have finished scanning the sections, click Done in the dialog box
on the computer screen.
Panorama Maker automatically starts. All the scanned sections are sent to
Panorama Maker.
8 In the Panorama Maker software, arrange the images in the correct order
and follow the on-screen instructions. See the Panorama Maker Help for
instructions.
9 If you scanned a text document and want to use optical character
recognition (OCR) to make the scanned document editable, then from
Panorama Maker, save the combined image as a TIFF file, and then import
the TIFF file into the ReadIris Pro software to perform OCR conversion.
