Turn on the scanner, then boot up the computer. If when you
arrive at the scanning station, the computer is on but the scanner
is off, shut down the computer, turn on the scanner, then
reboot the computer. You cannot turn on the scanner while
the computer is running.
In the Windows95 desktop, click on START,
PROGRAMS, PAPERPORT. Paperport is the basic
scanning software that comes with most HP flatbed scanners.
Lift the lid, place your image face down on the glass top of the scanner.
Line it up with the green arrow in the upper right-hand
corner. Put lid down.
Click on the SCAN button (second from the left on
the icon toolbar). The scanner will produce a preview image
with a black box around it.
Select the area you want to scan for your final image by
placing your cursor over any one of the sides of the black
box until it changes to a double-headed arrow. Click the left
mouse button and drag the side to where you want it. Repeat
with the other three sides of the square until you have
delineated the area you want to scan.
When you are satisfied with the selection area, click on
the FINAL button at the bottom of the window. The
scanner will rescan your image, but this time only the
area in the black box will be scanned.
When the scanner is through working its magic, it will
place a thumbnail image of your picture on the desktop.
To get to the desktop, you can either click anywhere on
the desktop area (which is behind the scanning window) to
bring it to the front, or click on the DESKTOP
button in the icon row at the top of the screen.
To view your image full size, double-click on it and
it will be displayed in a new window as it will actually
appear. If you are satisfied, return to the desktop (click
on DESKTOP icon).
All that remains now is to save your image. First,
click once on the thumbnail of the image to select it.
Then, at the top of the screen, click on FILE,
EXPORT. Give your file a name, note the image
format (.jpg is the default), choose the drive and
directory into which you want to save your file, then
click on OK.
