HP 7710 Scanjet(draft).docUrsula Hoffmann, May 3, 2008

The HP 7710 Scanjet, in row three third from the window in the Faculty Lab, scansvery fast. It has an Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) on its top where you can insert multiple sheets of paper for scanning in one go. You can also scan a business card or postcard.

For saving your scan, bring a CD or DVD and put it into the lower drive (D) on the PC—or bring a USB flash drive = TravelDrive and plug it into the left side of the monitor (drive F).

Caution: All pages must be perfect. No staples, no creases, bent or curled edges. Iron them if necessary.

What do you want to scan? a document (text with or without pictures), a business card?

One to fifty pages in one go: scan with the ADF

●Choose acceptable paper for the ADF

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

● A4-, A5-, letter-, or legal-size paper.

● Custom-size paper ranging from 148 mm x 148 mm (5.8 x 5.8 inches) to 216 mm x356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

● Media weights from 60 g/m2 (16 lb) to 105 g/m2 (28 lb).

● Media that does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or ink.

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

●Load originals in the ADF

Before placing an original in the ADF, check for and remove curls, wrinkles, staples,paper clips, and any other attached material. Make sure that sheets are not stucktogether.

1. Place a stack of similarly sized pages face-back in the upper document input tray, with thefirst page on top. The top of the page should point down, towards the document feeder.

2. Adjust the paper guides to center the stack. Pull out the input tray extension forlonger paper sizes.

Caution: Load your paper very straight and adjust the paper guide carefully, or the scanner may chew up the outer edges of your originals.
