White paper Save time, boost productivity, and add value HP Smart Document Scan Software 3.6.1
HP Smart Document Scan Software 1 helps you get the most out of your HP Enterprise Scanjet Scanner. This fast, easy-touse capture and routing application lets you customize options to enhance, manipulate, send, store, and print your scanned documents. Set up scan jobs to automatically carry out complex tasks, such as blank page removal, batch scanning, image cleanup, and even sending to multiple destinations, including Microsoft SharePoint all at the touch of a button. Plus, ad-hoc scanning for one-time jobs provides convenient flexibility. Save time with a simple interface Designed for office workers, this easy-to-use interface lets you quickly set up and review selected settings, then preview and modify your images before finalizing the file. Create profiles for the types of scan jobs you perform most often, with settings such as paper size, resolution, file format, destination(s), and more. You can quickly launch the profiles from your computer, or assign them to the front panel on your scanner so you can execute complex jobs at the touch of a button. Name the profiles to reflect the type of document, person scanning, document workflow, or whatever best meets your business needs. Modifying an existing profile for one-time scanning is a quick, convenient way to perform ad-hoc jobs. Just select an existing profile, change settings as-needed (for example, select color instead of black-and-white), and scan without saving changes to the profile. Boost productivity with automation Configure scan settings to get the results you want: automatically crop, orient, detect color, separate batches, straighten, delete blank pages, and clean up images. Preview the scan and modify as necessary, then route to single or multiple destinations, including shared/network drives, email, SharePoint, Google Drive, Box, printers, FTP, and web folders. While HP Smart Document Scan Software offers integrations to a number of destinations, it can also send scans directly to any application that supports command-line parameters. Add value by customizing results Save files just as you want them compress large files for more efficient storage, automatically adjust brightness and contrast, and remove color, background shading, punch holes, and irregularities to get the smallest file size and clear, readable scans.

When you save files as Microsoft Office Word or Excel, searchable PDF, HTML, or other text files, the embedded optical character recognition (OCR) automatically activates to produce fully editable text or searchable PDFs. Save scans as PDF, TIFF, or JPEG to easily email or organize files. Or choose additional PDF formats PDF/A, a timeless format, or PDF-MRC, a highly compressed format to archive scans. Create password-protected and encrypted PDFs, add file permission controls, and even add metadata to each PDF file. 2 February 2013
