Scanning dpi

[Photoscanner]

I would like to know how to set a default dpi for scanning from the control panel of my Officejet Pro 6975. I know how to do this for an individual scan using EasyScan, but using the control panel is faster when scanning a lot of photos.

@Photoscanner, Welcome to HP Support Community!

You can create presets for Scan to Computer with the file type and resolution. Here is how you can do it:

Go to Applications > HP > HP Utility

Click on Scan to Computer

Now click on Edit Scan Tasks

Click on the File Type for example- Scan as PDF

Click on Show Details

Click on Resolution to predefine the default dpi/ppi

Once you have the required settings selected, click on Save.

Now, when you scan from your printer's control panel to the computer and select save as PDF, the predefined settings will be applied.

By default, the scanned documents will be saved in the Pictures folder. However, you change the destination in the Save to tab while predefining the settings.

You can create predefined settings for different file types using the same steps as above.

Let me know if this helps.

Cheers 🙂
