Scan from the HP Director when you want more control over your scan, such as when you want to preview the image before the final scan.

To start the HP Photo & Imaging software, double-click the HP Director icon on the desktop. The HP Director window appears. From this window you can scan, view, or print images; use online Help; and more.

If the HP Director icon is not on the desktop, on the Start menu, point to Programs or All Programs, point to Hewlett-Packard, point to the name of your scanner or to Scanners, and then click Photo & Imaging Director.

Note: The HP Director is available only when the HP Photo & Imaging software is installed.

###### scan from other software programs

You can scan an image directly from an open file in one of your software programs if the program is TWAIN-compliant. Generally, the program is compliant if it has an option such as Acquire, Scan, or Import New Object. If you are unsure whether the program is compliant or what the option is, see the documentation for that program.

#### select original types

You have two choices for original type: Document or Picture. The scanner optimizes settings based on your choice. Use the following guidelines to determine the best original type for your needs.

|If your original consists of|Select this original type| |---|---| |Text, or both text and graphics|Document| |A printed photograph or graphic|Picture|

#### scan documents

Use the SCAN DOCUMENT button ( ) to scan documents.

| | | |---|---|

Note: If you want to preview scans before they are sent to their destination, see preview a scanned image.

Note: To create a searchable PDF from your scan, select the Scan for editable text (OCR)? option in the What are you scanning? dialog box. When you are done scanning your document, save it as a PDF. For more information about OCR scanning, see scan text for editing on page 6.

Note: There is no preview image for the copy function.

#### save a document to a disk or CD

Use the FILE DOCUMENTS button ( ) to save scanned documents to a disk, such as a hard disk or a CD.

Note: If you want to preview scans before they are sent to their destination, see preview a scanned image on page 4.

#### e-mail a scanned document or picture

Use the E-MAIL button ( ) to scan documents or pictures and insert them in an e-mail message as an attachment. You must have an Internet connection and a supported e-mail software program.

Note: To view the scanned image before you e-mail it, double-click the attachment in your e-mail software.

To change the e-mail program, open the HP Director, and then select E-mail Settings in the Settings drop-down list. The Email Settings dialog box appears. Select the e-mail program that you want to use, and then click OK.

#### print copies

Use the COPY button ( ) to scan an original and send it to a printer.

how to scan from the automatic document feeder

2

This section explains how to use the automatic document feeder (ADF) for the HP Scanjet 5590 scanner.

#### choose acceptable media for the ADF

The ADF works best when the originals meet the following specifications. If the originals do not meet these criteria, scan from the scanner glass.

Tip: To scan both sides of a legal-size document, 216 mm by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches), scan one side in the ADF, turn the document over, and then scan the other side in the ADF.

Note: Avoid putting multipart forms, transparencies, magazine pages, gum-backed pages, and lightweight paper in the ADF.

Before placing an original in the ADF, check for and remove curls, wrinkles, staples, paperclips, and any other attached material.

#### load originals in the ADF

Load a document and center it in the ADF tray

how to scan from the automatic document feeder

#### scan two-sided documents from the ADF

When you scan documents from the ADF, the What are you scanning? dialog box appears. Select Yes, scan both sides for two-sided scanning.

The ADF is unable to scan both sides of documents longer than 12 inches. To scan longer two-sided documents, you must set the ADF to scan only one side at a time. To change this setting, clear the Yes, scan both sides option in the What are you scanning? dialog box.

One-sided scanning is the default method for the ADF. To change this default to two-sided scanning, open the HP Director, click Settings and then click Scan Preferences. Click the Automatic tab, and then select the setting that you want to assign as the default.

Note: Use A4- or letter-size media for two-sided scanning. The ADF cannot scan both sides of a document smaller than 127 mm by 127 mm (5 by 5 inches) or larger than 210 mm by 304.8 mm (8.5 by 12 inches).

If you are acquiring your scan from an imaging software program using TWAIN, the Commercial Scanjet 5590 TWAIN software offers additional capabilities for brightness and contrast, and improved performance and control for two-sided scanning. For more information about installing the Commercial Scanjet 5590 TWAIN software, see install the scanning software on page 1.

#### make copies from the ADF

You can use the Copy button ( ) to scan multiple originals from the ADF and send them to a printer. The copy function defaults to the setting used the last time you made copies. For two-sided copies, open the HP Director, and then click

Make Copies. Select the Duplex option in the hp copying dialog box. For more information, see print copies on page 5.

care and maintenance

4

This section presents information about how to care for and maintain the scanner. Occasional cleaning of your scanner helps ensure optimal performance. The amount of care necessary depends upon several factors, including the amount of use, the type of media that is fed through the ADF, and the environment. You should perform routine cleaning as necessary. Routine cleaning and maintenance should include cleaning the scanner glass, the TMA, and the ADF.

Caution! Avoid placing items that have sharp edges in the scanner. Doing so can damage the scanner. Before placing an item on the scanner glass, make sure that the item does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can be transferred to the glass.

#### clean the scanner glass

Caution! Use only glass cleaner. Avoid abrasives, acetone, benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave streaks on the glass.

Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much glass cleaner is applied, the cleaner could run to the edges and damage the scanner.

Note: For instructions about how to clean the underside of the scanner glass, visit www.hp.com/support.

#### clean the TMA

Clean the TMA with a dry, soft cloth. If necessary, lightly spray the cloth with glass cleaner and wipe the TMA.

#### clean and maintain the ADF

The ADF requires periodic cleaning depending on the amount of use and the type of media that is fed through it. Use an HP ADF cleaning cloth to clean the ADF when vertical streaks appear in images scanned by using the ADF, when
