Please note these instructions are written for the scanner located in the ITC lab. Although the following instructions should be very similar to other scanners located on campus, there might be slight differences.
Preliminary Instructions
- Make sure the scanner is on. The on/off switch is located on the right side of the scanner.
- Place a picture/image face down in the top right-hand corner of the scanner glass surface.
- Choose Start-Programs-Adobe Photo Shop Element.
- From the File menu, choose Import-HP Precision Scan Pro.
- Lay the image on the scanning bed.
- The HP scanjet source will automatically pop up. At this point you can select the image type (bw drawing, bw photo, or color photo)
- Once the image is scanned crop the image to the desired size by clicking-dragging the mouse over the area. A dash-outline will appear around the area.
- Click Scan-Place Image. The image will be scanned once again and imported into Photoshop Elements.
- Once in Photoshop Elements the image can be edited as necessary.
- To save the image, choose File-Save. Navigate to where you want to save the file. Type in a file name and change the file type to GIF or JPG. Note, other file types take up a lot of file space. JPG works best with images that have many color values, while GIF works best when images have large areas of one color.
- Remove original from scanner surface.
