Is there a way to save exposure settings in HP Scan software?  I know tha I can create a new scan shortcut and save many settings in it. However, I haven't found a way to save to the Brightness, Contrast or Midtone settings. I'm scanning several hundred documents with similar properties and at present I need to change the exposure for each individual scan unless I can find a way to set those as a default.

Welcome to HP forums, I see that you want to know how to change the exposure settings in the HP Scan application.

 

Watch this video for the steps to use the HP Scan app:- Click here

(Note:- Scroll the video to 1.40 sec to know how to change the exposure settings)

 

Let me know if that helps.

To thank me for my efforts to help you, please mark my post as an accepted solution so that it benefits several others.

Cheers.

Sandytechy20, the video did not show how to save default exposure settings, only for individual scans, which still requires me to make that change for every scan.

It looks like you were interacting with @sandytechy20, but he is out for the day & I'll be glad to help you out.

Open the HP scan and click on the More>

 

Change all the setting as desired.

Then click on Create New Shortcut and name it as you needed and click on save.

 

This should help you out!

Have a great day!

Raj1788, that'll save settings on the "More>" page but not the exposure settings on the first page that don't appear until an item is scanned.  No cigar yet

Thanks for the reply.

I appreciate your time and effort.

I understood the issue better.

 

Check the below picture to save the settings.

After changing the exposure settings, click on the back button and then click on "Create New Shortcut" to save the settings.

Refer the below picture:
