Scanning Photos

[Tyler333]

Hey there! We're using our printer for scanning photos to be inputted at a quick rate and had the model previous to this printer. The previous scanning software was easier to use before and more efficient. I was reaching out here to ask if there's any tips to making scanning and saving photos quicker, if theres any other scanning software than can be used besides theirs, really anything to speed up the process. What would take us 10 minutes now takes us almost 30 minutes, so anything is appreciated!

Welcome to the HP Community.

Printer Software

Check that the full driver printer software is installed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features

The name of the software might vary slightly from one model of printer to another - normally, the printer software does contain some form of the printer model name.

Example

Programs_and_Features_Printer_Software_List_2

If the printer software is not installed in Control Panel > icon view > Programs and Features,

Install the full driver printer software.

If the printer software is already installed, you can certainly use it - scroll down to see the example of the Desktop icons.

Installing Software

Your printer supports using the Easy Start software wrapper to install the printer software.

Method - Use the Easy Start Wrapper to Install the Full Feature / Full Driver Software

For printers that support the option,

Use the Easy Start wrapper to install and configure the printer software.

• Home Page - HP Easy Start 
• Open Category Software and Drivers 
• Topic: Software-Utility 
• Download-and-Save  the current version of the Easy Start wrapper to install your print software 
• If using USB:  Disconnect the USB cable between the printer and computer before installing the software.

• Right-Click on the downloaded package and "Run as Administrator" to start the installation

• Select to install the “Full Driver” / “Full Feature Software”
• If using USB:  Connect the cable when instructed to do so (near the end of the installation process).
• After the software is installed, Restart the computer and log in.

Notes >> Easy Start... The Journey

1. Full Administrator Rights are required to complete the HP Software installation.
2. About 2/3 of the way through the setup, you will be given the opportunity to select the software - select the "Full Driver" set (as opposed to the basic driver or other application).
3. You can skip / ignore suggestion(s) that you add the HP Account – you’ll need the account at some point, for now, you can skip this suggestion (as many times as it insists it’s a good idea) during the full driver software installation.
4. If you see it, you can skip / ignore suggestion(s) regarding Instant Ink subscription.  Instant Ink subscription is NOT mandatory.
5. Full driver includes print and scan functions supported by your printer and provides the printer features on which other applications / software might depend.

========================================================================

The full driver software installation places two icons on your Desktop - one for the Printer Assistant and one for HP Scan.

Example - Desktop icons - Printer Assistant and HP Scan

Printer_Assistant_Shortcut_Icon_on_Desktop_2

HP Scan can scan multiple photos placed on the glass / flatbed.

Separate each photo by about an inch to make sure the printer can "see" the different photos.

Select Save as JPEG

Select Page Size Detect Photos

Reminder:  Check each of the sections in More >
