Faster scanning with hardware compression
The scanner supports multiple levels of JPEG compression to increase the rate of data transfer from
the scanner to the scanning software on the computer. The scanning software can uncompress the
data in order to create scanned images. JPEG compression works on grayscale and color scans.
To enable faster data transfer in an HP Smart Document Scan Software profile, follow these steps:
1. Open the HP Smart Document Scan Software.
2. Select a scan profile, and then click Edit profile.
3. On the Scan tab of the Profile Settings dialog box, click Hardware Options.
4. Use the Data transfer slider to set the level of compression.
●
Higher quality sets compression to a lower value, resulting in slower data transmission.
●
Lower quality sets compression to a higher value, resulting in faster data transmission.
NOTE: Use the ISIS or TWAIN user interface to control compression when scanning from non-HP
software.
