You can scan and save items directly to files for archiving purposes 
without making changes to them. The files are saved in PDF format, 
which keeps the original page formatting. 
Tip
To save a scanned image in a different file format, scan to 
the HP PrecisionScan Pro software, and on the Scan 
menu, click Save As.

1 Place the original face down on the scanner glass and close the lid. 
Note: To load items in the ADF, see  page 66.
2 Press F
ILE on the scanner.
3 In the Save As dialog box, name the file, choose a location in 
which to save it, and click Save.

one of the following:
● If you do not have more pages to scan, click Done.
● If there are additional pages of this item, load the next page and 
click Scan. Repeat until all pages are scanned. Then, click 
Done.
