Instructions for scanning images and slides on ITD: Instructional Technology equipment.

Hewlett Packard ScanJet 4C Scanner: Images

1. Start the scanning software by choosing Start > Programs > Image Scanning and Editing > DeskScan II from the Windows95 desktop.
2. Lift the scanner cover and place the object (photo, drawing, 3D object) face down on the glass and in-line with the edge of the scanning
   surface.
3. Click on the "Preview" button in the lower-left corner of the DeskScan II window. It will take 15-20 seconds for your preview image to appear.
   Don't take the object off the scanner until after the final scan.
4. If your image is too small, click on the "Zoom" button to enlarge the preview.
5. Use the "selection" tool to create a square around that part of the image you want in the final scan.
6. Change the "Type" and "Print Path" options to suit your needs.
   • "Type" should be set to "Sharp Black and White Drawing," "Sharp Black and White Photo," or "Sharp Millions of Colors,"
     depending on the type of object you're scanning.
   • "Print Path" is typically set to "Screen." This scans the object at 75 dpi (screen resolution). If you plan to print the image,
     you should change the print path to reflect the printer you will be using.
7. Click on the "Brightness/Contrast" button to automatically adjust the brightness and contrast of the image.
8. Use the slider bars to "Scale" the image if needed.
9. Click on the "Final" button to start the final scan and save your image. Before the final scan starts you will be prompted to save your image.
   It is recommended that you save the image in a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF/TIF). This format is viewable on Macs and PCs and can
   be easily converted to a GIF or JPEG for placement in Web pages.
10. Use an image editing program like Adobe Photoshop to correct or enhance the image.

3. Hold the slide to be scanned in front of you as if it were a photograph you were viewing
4. Turn the slide 180° counterclockwise so that it is upside down.
5. Insert the slide into the slot on the top of the SprintScan. Push the slide down until it catches; a little more than half of the slide's cardboard border
   will remain visible. Do not force the slide.
6. In the window, click "Preview." The slide will be scanned into memory and displayed on the right side of the "Control Panel" window.
   If part of the slide is cut off, remove the slide from the scanner, reinsert it properly, and click "Preview" again.
7. In the image display portion of the window, use the mouse to drag the white rectangular frame over the portion of the scanned image
   that is important to you. The frame can be stretched vertically and horizontally. It's important to get everything significant inside the white frame
   because everything outside of it will be lost in the next step. Don't worry if the image is tilted a couple of degrees and some blackness is inside
   the frame. Just make sure everything important is inside the frame.
8. Click "Scan."
9. The final scanned image will appear in a new window. If the image is not to your liking, repeat these steps beginning with Step 3. Otherwise,
   click File > Save As in the new window. Specify the image's format with the drop-down menu in the lower-left side of the "Save As" window.
   Enter a descriptive filename for the image. Then click "OK."
10. Finally, use Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Paint, or some other graphics editing program to trim, tint, and touch up your work.
