how do I scan with very high resolution 1000 dpi?

[DGHemmes]

I am scanning very old, very small pictures (about 1 by 1"). On my 8610 the highest resolution I apparently can get is 300 dpi. On my previous 6600 I was able to get 1000 dpi? Is the 8610 really not capable of scanning at such a high resolution?

From the User Guide...

Scan specifications
● Resolution: Up to 1200 x 1200 ppi optical
For more information about scan resolution, see the HP printer software.

● Color: 24-bit color, 8-bit grayscale (256 levels of gray)

Depends on your software.

I see what the userguide says. But neither the standard software not the extended software give me any options above 300 dpi. Also the grey scale is only 8 bit.

Hi,

The printer support up to 2400 DPI but only from the Flatbed Glass, while the top Automatic Document Deeder (ADF) is limited to 300 dpi.

Open the HP Officejet Pro 8610 software and press on Scan a Document or Photo.

Change the source from the default 'Automatic Document Feeder' to 'Flatbed Glass', then higher scan resolutions will become avaialble within the Resolution drop-down menu.
