Scanned image is fuzzy

Verify that the document original is not fuzzy.

Use the Kofax Virtual ReScan Software which shipped with your scanner to process the scanned

data. This software cleans up the image and compresses the data.

Check for any obstructions in the scanner paper path and make sure the paper width guides are

positioned appropriately. Try another scan.

Clean the scanning strips inside the document feeder.

Check the data transfer compression setting. If scanner compression is high, scanned data might

be lost by the compression.

Scanned pages are out of order at the scan destination

Verify that the page order of the original document is correct before placing the document face

down into the document feeder.

Make sure that there are no staples, paper clips, or any other attached material (such as adhesive

notes) that may cause the pages to feed incorrectly.

Verify that pages are not stuck together.

Optimize scanning and task speeds

Several settings influence the total time for a scanning job. When you want to optimize scanning

performance, consider the following information.

To optimize performance, make sure your computer meets the recommended system requirements.

To view minimum and recommended system requirements, see

www.hp.com

, select your country/

region, search on your scanner model, and then search on datasheet.

In the scanning software, choose the layout setting that matches the orientation of the originals in

the document feeder.

In the HP Smart Document Scan Software, adjust the data transfer rate. A low setting produces a

higher quality scan image at a slower scan speed; a high setting produces a lower quality scan

image at a faster scan speed. For more information, see the HP Smart Document Scan Software

Help.

Saving a scanned image to a searchable format (for example, searchable PDF) takes more time

than saving to an image format because the scanned image is analyzed using Optical Character

Recognition (OCR). Verify that you need a searchable output file before selecting a searchable

scan format.

NOTE:

For the best OCR results, scanner compression should be set to the minimum

compression level.

Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary increases scanning time and creates a larger file

with no additional benefit. If you are scanning at a high resolution, set the resolution to a lower

level to increase scanning speed.
