how do I make copies?
quick copying
If you are copying a freshly printed plot, make sure that it has dried
completely before placing the document in the scanner insertion
slot. If it is not dry, you could damage your plot and dirty the glass
plate on your scanner.
Remember to set your printer media width in your copy system
software. See how do I set the printer media width? on page 3.
to make copies…
1. Place the document face down with the intended top edge
forward in the scanner insertion slot. You can load your
original into the scanner from the scanner’s center or right-
hand side (whichever is set in Setup > Scan Options > Load).
2. Slide the document gently into the insertion slot until you feel it
pulled into the start position.
3. In the Copy tab, select Color or
B&W (black and white)
copying—this determines the
Type of original.
4. Select your Type of original
template.
5. Set the Input size.
Usually this will be equal to the
size of your original. You can let
the scanner detect the
document’s size.
6. Set the intended Output size of
your copy.
For making one-to-one copies,
this will be the size of your
original.
You can also use Scale to determine the copy’s size.
7. Press the Copy button.

how do I copy thick media?
Scanning thick media can require enlarging the insertion slot and
this can affect the scanner's automatic control of border lines
between the cameras—called Stitching.
First you must adjust the insertion slot to accommodate your thick
media. See how do I change the insertion slot height? on page 8.
to copy thick media…
1. Load the thick original you wish to scan.
Center loading is recommended with thick originals. The
scanner’s transport rollers grip more evenly with center
loading.
2. Make a test scan.
Bulky thick media need to be supported with both hands both
into and out of the scanner.
Stitching errors will be easiest to see on an image with one or
more clear diagonal lines.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Normally, only stiff media will affect stitching. Flexible media
will usually be stitched correctly regardless of thickness.
If the lines seem uneven, do the following:
3. Select the Setup tab.
4. Select the Scan Options button.
5. Select Scanner Setup.
6. Select the Extended Thickness tab.
7. Check the box labeled Use extended thickness paper
handling.
8. Change the value for each of the scanner’s cameras—
normally, only positive values should be used.
9. Make test scans and readjust the values until you are satisfied
that the lines are stitched correctly.
10. Click OK to accept your settings.
11. Repeat the above steps until you are satisfied with the results.
how do I change the insertion slot height?

The loaded image always uses the last settings made and the effects
of the settings will be visible in the new preview. This feature allows
you to fine-tune your settings as you watch them take effect before
committing the copy to print.
to display the whole image
You can use the Zoom All tool to view large format originals in
the preview window. No matter what zooming level you start
from, the Zoom All tool resizes the image so that it exactly fits in the
preview window.
to zoom in on a specific area
Use the Zoom In tool when you need to view details for making
enhancement settings and for aligning. Zooming takes place
immediately with the zoom axis in the center of the preview
window. If you need to enlarge the image further, then continue to
press the Zoom In button until you get the required level of detail in
the view.
to zoom out from a selected area
The Zoom Out tool decreases the image size in the preview
window. If you need to decrease the image further, then
continue to press the Zoom Out button until you get the required
field of view.
for one-to-one pixel viewing
Use the 1:1 tool to view the image with one scanned pixel
shown as one screen pixel.
to resize the paper frame
The resize paper frame tool lets you resize the paper frame
interactively in the preview window.

When activated, the Resize Paper Frame Tool partitions
the areas around the paper frame into sections. When a
section is touched, the closest frame side or corner is
resized to the new position.
to move the image
There are two ways to use the move image tool:
• Dragging: Dragging anywhere in the image window. Imagine
you are gripping hold of the image and dragging it around
inside the window.
• Centering: Touch a point on the screen and that point will then
be centered in the preview window. The image shifts so that
the point you selected becomes repositioned in the center of
the screen. This method is especially useful when zooming in
on image details. It lets you pick out important spots and center
on them before zooming in.
to position the paper frame
There are three ways to use the position paper frame tool:
• Dragging: Dragging anywhere on the screen. Imagine you are
gripping hold of the frame and dragging it around over the
image.
• Centering: Touch a point on the screen and that point becomes
the new center for the paper frame. The frame shifts so that it
positions itself with the point you selected directly in its center.
This method is especially useful when you are making spot test
strips for outputting on the printer. It lets you continuously and
rapidly reposition the frame on important areas that you want
tested.
• Dragging the edges: This will resize the paper frame and is an
alternative to the Resize Paper Frame tool.

to align the image
The original may have been inserted slightly off balance and
appears crooked in the preview window. Correcting this does not
mean you have to reload the original and start again.
Use the perfectly aligned sides of the paper frame as references
when realigning.
Press the Align Left tool to tilt the image left.
Press the Align Right tool to tilt the image right.
Press the Copy button to output the image as you
realigned it in the preview window.

you to leave the system working overnight or frees you to take care
of other tasks.

and then output a selected number of these sets on your printer. All
the previewing and enhancement options available for single
document copying are also available when using Collate Copy.

cleaning instructions see maintenance procedures on page 24.
Restart the scanner after cleaning.

If the Diagnostic and the Wait lights continue to flash after cleaning
and restarting, then there may be camera position errors that
require professional service.
wait light
The Wait light comes on when the scanner power is turned
on, and stays on during the internal diagnostic and stabilization
phase.
The Wait light reveals the status of the scanner’s self-adjustment
procedure, which consists of both stitching and light profile
adjustment. If the scanner does not self adjust the stitching and light
profiles may change over time due to thermal changes in the
scanner. The Wait light works in the following way:
• When the Wait light is off, the self-adjustment is up-to-date,
and the scanner is ready to scan.
• When the Wait light is on, the scanner is warming up or re-
adjusting; a scan may be issued, but quality may be
compromised (when adjusting is completed, the Wait light
turns off). To allow the scanner to self-adjust, do not remove the
original or change Original Pressure Platen position while the
Wait light is on.
• When the Wait light is flashing (and the Diagnostics light is
off) re-adjusting is needed, but not possible; any original in the
scanner should be removed, and Original Pressure Platen
should be returned to the normal position (also in this situation
a scan may be issued, but the quality will be compromised).
When adjusting is again possible, the Wait light stops
flashing, but continues to be on until the self-adjust is complete.
• The Wait light is on during basic calibration to indicate that
the original should not be removed during this procedure The
scanner keyboard is disabled during basic calibration for the
same reason.

paper forward and paper reverse keys
Use the Paper Control area when you insert your
document.
The Paper Forward Key moves the drawing into the start-of-scan
position. If the auto-load option is selected in your software, loading

will take place automatically as soon as the original enters the
insertion slot. A delay factor can be set for automatic paper loading
giving you time to position the original correctly.
Pressing the Paper Forward Key during scanning will stop the
scanning process and the original will be fed through the scanner
while the key is held down.
The Reverse key stops the current scanning process and reverses the
original. The original will be fed backwards through the scanner
while the key is held down.
paper ready light
The Paper Ready light comes on as soon as the drawing is
inserted into the original’s insertion slot and correctly positioned.
Then the original can be moved into the start-of-scan position either
by pressing the Paper Forward Key or through automatic loading.
The Paper Ready light is green for normal thin media and yellow for
thick media.
The Paper Ready light stays ON, signifying that the scanner is ready
to be controlled from the computer. During scanning the Ready light
will blink. At end of scanning the Ready light will stop blinking,
signifying that scanning can be repeated from the computer, or else
terminated by ejecting the drawing from the scanner.
tell me about scanner maintenance
Keep out dust and reduce maintenance time. Cover your scanner
with the plastic dust cover when not in use.
Caution: Make sure the scanner power is OFF when using the
scanner dust cover.
about
Scanner calibration should become a habit for those who value
high quality and precision in their results. Much too often, incorrect
output on expensive media would have been avoided if the scanner
had recently been calibrated.

Calibration is the process of setting the scanner device to known
color conditions so that it performs in accordance with an
established standard. When you calibrate your scanner to the ANSI
IT8 color standard, you minimize color deviations between scanned
ANSI IT8 reference color patches (on the IT8 Calibration reference
sheet) and known color reference values.
The calibrating wizard lets you select between sRGB and NTSC
color spaces. With the sRGB standard you get optimal color
matching between your touch screen, scanner and printer.
why?
Scanner calibration ensures stability, reproducibility and
predictability of color output. Light sources and other parts in the
scanner can change over time and this affects the scanner’s
interpretation of colors and its linearity. Without calibration, the
output produced by your scanner half a year from now will differ
from output produced today and will likely be noticeably
inaccurate. Some monochrome scanners support basic calibration.
Basic calibration reduces noise in the dynamic area and ensures
stable and clean scans. When scanning at high resolutions, even
the tiniest dust particles can cause unwanted speckles in your
output. Calibration can help reduce this kind of noise and ensure
clean scans every time.
when?
We recommend scanner maintenance once a month.
Service preventive maintenance should be performed every two
years (this has to be performed by a service engineer).
By calibrating the scanner at regular intervals (once a month), you
ensure that all files created are based on the same color scheme.
Thus, the results you get from your system are predictable, so you
don’t have to waste time and money experimenting to get the right
result.
Scanner color calibration must be performed regularly and it is
recommended to calibrate just before creating new Media Profiles
through closed loop calibration. The scanner’s calibration is crucial
for the color matching process to work properly.

tell me about the scanner insertion slot
You can change the insertion slot height from 2 to 16 mm (0.08 to
0.63 inches). The Normal position (Step 0: 2 mm/0.08 in) is
detected by a sensor in the scanner.
The insertion slot is marked with a measurement ruler for inches and
millimeters. The ruler corresponds to right side aligned original
loading. Just below the ruler are marked common standard sizes
that help guide you with optional centered loading.
The loading method, right-side or centered, can be selected from
your scanner software. The scan area width measured in standard
units (inches or millimeters) is also set from the software.
The required setting for an original drawing can be measured with
the original inserted into the scanner by using the ruler printed on
top of the insertion slot. Then, you just enter your measurement in
the width setting box in the current scanner application’s media size
setup dialogs. To change the insertion slot height, see how do I
change the insertion slot height? on page 8.

tell me about scanner operating modes
The scanner can work in the following operating modes:
• RGB mode
• graytone mode
• B/W modes
• 2D-sharpening, 2D-softening, and 2D-blur
rgb mode
Full 24-bit true color mode for 16.8 million colors. Use the true color
mode for precise reproduction of all color shades. This mode
creates large files, especially when scanning large formats.
graytone mode
In Graytone mode, the actual gray level of each pixel is scanned;
256 levels are recognized, corresponding to 1 byte (8 bits) per
pixel. This results in graytone files that are 8 times larger than
uncompressed files scanned in Line mode at the same resolution; for
example, an E-Size drawing scanned in graytone mode at 300 dpi
has a file size of 150 MByte, compared with typically 0.4 to
1.0 MByte for a compressed file in Line mode.
b/w modes
In these modes, the scanner outputs each scanned pixel as a single
bit, either black (1) or white (0), depending on whether its gray
level is below or above the threshold.
Both fixed level and 2D-Adaptive thresholding are supported.
The copy modes incorporate Dual 2D-Adaptive processing with
different combinations of ADL+ Error Diffusion Halftoning, 2D-
Background suppression, 2D-Auto edge enhancement and 2D-
Adaptive thresholding. The copy modes are ideal scanning wide
format documents that are intended for re-printing. The ADL+ Error
Diffusion Halftoning supports visibility of graytones in printed output

continuous shades of gray such
as in photos.
2d-sharpening, 2d-softening, and 2d-blur
Through your software, you can manually set and control
sharpening, softening, and blurring filters, giving you rich
possibilities for combining effects to obtain perfect enhancement
results.
For example, you may have an image with details (such as text or
lines) you wish to sharpen. But if the image also contains large
concentrated areas of colors or graytones, sharpening will make
unwanted noise to appear in the scanned image. By using the
sharpen filter together with the blur filter, you can get the sharp
edges you need without creating the side effect of unwanted noise.
Both filters can be set at different levels for ultimate control of effects.
The B/W Copy Normal scanning mode incorporates 2D-Auto edge
enhancement, with automatic, on-the-fly sharpening of your image.

tell me about my scanner software
tell me about the hp designjet scanner software
The application is designed to interface your scanner with your
printer for large format copying. The scanner software is a powerful,
professional tool enabling easy production of vivid high quality
color corrected copies and also exploits the scanner’s monochrome
enhancement features for demanding black and white copy
assignments.
the main features of the scanner software are…
• Copy settings are stored in useful templates and presets—
standardized and tested templates for different types of
originals are already created and available with the
application. These standard templates cover most copy needs.
• Output color quality controlled through binding the color
characteristics of your scanner, printer and the type of output
media you are using. These factors are stored in your system as
Media Profiles.
• Standardized and tested Media Profiles fitted to the most
popular wide-format printers and media are included in the
application. Just select your printer and media and the
underlying Media Profile parameters will be activated behind
the scenes.
• You can also create your own Media Profiles for special
printers or printing media and configure the Ink level and Gray
balance on Contex RIP renderings defined with printers using
the RTL format.
• Copying color originals with advanced tonal adjustment such
as black enhance, background clean, color balance,
sharpening, blurring, saturation, and lightness.
• Advanced Dual 2D-Adaptive enhancement control with B/W
copying. Supplies the advanced enhancement features through
emulation in the software for scanner models without the
hardware embedded processing.
• With on-screen previewing you can control the quality of the
image with your settings before copying.
• Accounting function that enables you to keep track of copying
and paper usage per user/billing account.

• Extra flexibility with 2-step copying through scan-to-file and
print-from-file options.
• Advanced layout selections: paneling for combining large-
format image sections to create huge enlargements and
Nesting for economizing usage of expensive printing media.
• You can save time by making copies on two printers
simultaneously. You define your Synchronous Printers though
printer setup options.
• Image Filter Preview: with a preview of the copy loaded in the
scanner software, you can adjust your primary image settings
(Type of Original template parameters) while viewing the
“before and after” effects of your changes through a split
screen. The split screen and Image Filter Preview mode is
activated immediately when you choose to edit a Type of
Original template.
tell me about the scanner software user interface
the image viewing section consists of…
• The Image toolbar at the top with tools for moving the image,
moving and resizing the paper frame, alignment and zooming
tools.
• The preview window for on-screen previewing and adjusting of
expected results.
See how do I use the previewing tools? on page 14.
the image control section provides the following tabs…
• Copy: primary copy settings. The options available in the
Copy tab will be sufficient for most users and common copy
tasks.
• Scan: scan settings used when scanning to file rather than
copying.
• Print: settings used when printing saved image files.
• Setup: printer, scanner, and job accounting settings that are
likely to be changed infrequently.
The following three advanced features are available:
• The Layout option in the Setup tab.

entering numbers and names
There are some dialogs and option fields in the scanner software
that will require written values or texts. These are especially common
in connection with customizing and creating new presets. The
scanner software incorporates two types of on-screen keyboards: a
text keyboard and a value keyboard. They appear in the touch-
screen interface whenever written information is required to set the
option.
The Enter key accepts your setting and returns to the previous

preview dpi
Determine the image resolution (between 50 and 300 dpi) for on
screen previewing. Lower resolutions give faster previewing.
scan speed
Sometimes, the performance of your workstation will cause the
scanner to make repeated “back-ups” during scanning in order to
ensure correct and continuous processing of scanned data. Back-
ups can be avoided by reducing the maximum scanning speed thus
refitting the scanner’s performance to that of your workstation.
rewind paper
After scanning, your original will normally be found hanging at the
back of the scanner. If the scanner is placed close to a wall, it may
be difficult to access the original in order to remove it from the
scanner. However, if the Rewind Paper option is selected, the
original will be rewound back to its starting position after scanning.
In this case, it can be ejected and removed from the front of the
scanner.

With this option you can select whether to load your original in the
center of the scanner or aligned to the right. See loading
preferences on page 44.
auto-size method
There are two methods the scanner software can use to detect the
length of the image: Paper detects the end of the paper by
mechanical means, while Image performs a prescan of the image
and uses software to work out the length of the prescanned image.
The Paper method is quicker because it doesn’t require a prescan;
but the Image method may be more accurate (if the paper is longer
than the image).

use quick select lists
This option determines the behavior of your interface in relation to
making settings for Type of original, Input size, Output size, Scale,
Printer, Accounting, and Scanner. The default dialog order is that
you first access a specific Setup dialog and from there a button will
take you to the easy-to-use list dialog. With Quick select lists
selected, you reverse this order: your interface first presents the list
dialogs with current predefined and standard values for the options.
From the predefined value lists, you can then choose to go to the
specific (default) Setup dialog by pressing the tool button.
Use this option if you primarily use the scanner software with
standard and customized predefinitions. Leave the option empty if
you primarily need to make specific adjustments and settings for
your different copy jobs and usually bypass the lists with predefined
values.
You can see below the Input size button behavior with and without

• View the scanner system’s status, called the Scanner Mode, by
exiting your scanner system and on the Active Desktop,
selecting the WIDEsystem scanner icon on the system tray.
Status messages include remaining warm-up time, interface
connection errors, and an indication that the scanner is ready

tell me about copy and layout features and options
tell me about the copy size
overview
The Input size, Output size, and Scale settings work together to
determine the image capture area and the size of the resulting
copy. The three are connected and changing one will automatically
adjust the others following a defined order. You can select your size
values from a list containing standard and custom predefined sizes.
For the Input Size you can also choose to let the scanner detect the
size automatically which is useful when you don’t know the size
offhand. Your scanner software always maintains an image’s aspect
ratio when input and output sizes differ.
Usually you would set the Input Size to that of the original, but you
can also use small sizes to copy selected portions. With the Output
size setting or Scale, you can blow up, shrink, or make one-to-one
copies of the original.
size options—relationships
The Input, Output, and Scale values are connected and changes to
each automatically adjust the others.
The first time you set a size value, or just after you press reset:
• changing the Input size adjusts the Output size
• changing the Output size adjusts the Scale
• changing the Scale adjusts the Output size
You can use Auto width and length for the input size and a specified
size for output. In such cases the Scale setting will be set to Auto
until a first preview has detected the original’s input size and
thereby calculated the correct scale.
Note: your scanner software will always retain an image’s aspect
ratio when the input size and output size differ.
Size values will also change when you adjust the paper frame
through the Resize Paper Frame tool.

input size/output size settings
The Input size setting determines the scope of the scanner’s image
capture area.
You can use the variable Input size setting to capture selected
portions of the original and thus make printed copies of specific
image details. You also might want to print small strips of difficult
areas for testing purposes before committing the whole copy to the
printer.
The Output size setting refers to the printed result. For making a
duplicate sized copy, you set both the Output size and the Input size
to the size of the original, or set one of them to the size of the
original and set scaling to 100%. For blowing up an original you
set an output size that is larger than the input size, and the opposite
for making a reduced copy. Blowing up and reduction can also be
controlled through scaling.
using size presets
Your scanner software covers most original and copy sizes with a
wide range of predefined standard size options. But you may get an
assignment in which a whole group of specially sized copies must
be made, or you have a stable customer requiring a standard size
of input material that is not as “standard” as the rest of the world’s.
In such cases you could save precious time by retaining the special
size definitions in size presets that can be recalled when needed.
When you create a size preset, it becomes available both in the list
of Input size presets and in the list of Output size presets because
the list of preset sizes is shared by both options. This of course
means that a new size preset can be created through both the Input
Size and Output Size dialogs with absolutely equal results—a new
size definition on the application’s shared list for predefined sizes.
tell me about original templates
The capture or scanning Method with relevant image enhancement
settings are grouped together in a ‘Type of original’ template to give
best results with the kind of input document to which it refers. Your
selection of Color or B&W copying determines which Methods and
enhancement adjustments are relevant to the template.

For most copy assignments, the HP Designjet scanner software
contains standard Type of original templates with optimal default
settings. For example, a brochure is typically a mix of photos and

tell me about original template settings
method
The Method applies to the way the scanner captures and digitizes
the image. The default Method settings for the built-in Type of
original templates are optimal in relation to the kind of original in
question and you shouldn’t have to change them.

lightness
This same setting can also be accessed directly from the Copy tab
dialog. The default Lightness value is set to zero which works well
with most documents. You can change this value to make the copy
lighter (positive value) or darker (negative value) and compensate
for dull or faded originals.
saturation
Saturation indicates the intensity of a hue, or in other words the
strength of a color. A high saturation makes a color’s hue more
intense than the same color with a low saturation value. A positive
value increases saturation and a negative value decreases
saturation.
red, green, and blue
You can adjust your copy’s color balance during image capture
through separate controls for each of the three color-channels Red,
Green, and Blue. Adding and subtracting an amount of a color
affects the whole color balance. Often it’s best to keep the three
channels on the same levels. Experiment with the different effects
through previewing.
Select negative values to reduce the total content of the color and
select positive values to increase the total content of the color.
black enhance and background clean
The black enhance option is used to change dark graytone colors to
true black.
For example, if you are copying a brochure with a mixture of text
and pictures, the text will often be digitized to a color that we may
see as black but really is a dark graytone. When the printer digests
this graytone data, it will print the original’s text with a halftone
pattern, meaning scattered dots instead of solid black.
By increasing the black enhance value, you can get the text to be
copied in real black and it will therefore appear clearer.
Use the black enhance option with caution, because it can change
other dark colors (not only grays) into black, making small dark
spots appear in the picture.
Background clean is used if you have an original with a
background that is not completely white. If you want your
background to appear as pure white then you can increase the
76

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
background clean value. As with black enhance, background clean
should be used with caution, as it can also affect some of the other
light colors.
Both black enhance and background clean function as ‘cutoff’
values in which pixels under or over a certain value are affected by
the setting. You define cutting points on a scale of low to high
lightness measured in values from 0 to 255. The default value of
both options is zero (no effect).
Example:
You have copied an original and want to improve it by making the
text blacker and the background whiter:
• Adjust the black enhance value upwards from its default of
zero (to 25, for example) and thus make pixels with low
lightness values go to black.
• Adjust the background clean value upwards from its default of
zero (to 25, for example) and thus make the pixels at high
lightness levels go to white.
You can give your copy sharper lines with the Sharpen option. The
Sharpen feature identifies edges in the image and intensifies them.
sharpen/blur
The Blur feature blends colors and thus removes unwanted ‘noise’
during image capture. Many images are created with dithering,
which is used for representing different colors in the original, and
this dithering often creates unnecessary ‘noise’ in the image.
Blurring smoothes out unwanted transitions between colors. With
Black and White copying the Blur feature smoothes out gray dither
by removing unwanted sharp transitions between excessive shades
of gray.
Don’t think of blurring as the opposite of sharpening. Sharpening
works on the image’s edges only while blurring looks at whole color
or graytone areas and smoothes them out.
tip
Using Sharpen together with the Blur feature can often enhance
image quality by first blurring away noise in the image and then
sharpening the result.

tell me about copy quality settings
This facility is available from Copy > Settings > Copy quality >
Custom.
scanning and printing quality settings
The Custom button leads to options for making scanner and printer
quality settings separately. For each device you can select standard
Fast, Normal, Best settings. Pressing the Custom button under
Scanning lets you set the scan resolution and the Manual button
under Printing stops your scanner system software from sending
printing quality properties to the printer and lets you use the printer
device’s own quality controls without interference from the program.
tell me about output margins
setting the output margins
Your margin values will be deducted from the Output size you
selected in the Copy tab. The effects of the margins on your copy
will be displayed visually in the WYSIWYG preview window.
You can for example use margins to duplicate those of your
original, crop poor quality edges, or create new white edges
around copied pictures for framing. Your assignment may involve
following a dictated margins standard, and this option enables you
to set that standard for all your copies.
For many copy assignments, you will leave the four margins set to
zero because you will want to capture the whole image without
cropping off any of the original’s edges. With the margins set to
zero, a thin-lined frame will still outline your input and output
expectations in the WYSIWYG preview.

tell me about unprintable areas
‘account for unprintable area’ option
The margins we set in the Setup tab dialog are the copy’s ‘output
margins’. But the printer itself also creates margins. The size of your
printer’s margins or so-called ‘unprintable area’ depends on the
printer model and cannot be changed. You should consider the
printer’s margins as your minimum margins and they will be in your
output whether you want them to or not.
The ‘Account for unprintable area’ option is found in the Margins
dialog and it lets you compensate for these uncontrollable margins.
Selecting the option lets you economize paper usage by keeping
unneeded margin space down to a minimum. Selecting the option
will tell the application to deduct the printer’s enforced margins from
your output margins so the total margins are as you specified for the
copy. For duplicating originals without margins, you would not want
output margins either and thus the option should be deselected.
To use the option, you have to enter your printer’s unprintable area
values as specified in your printer documentation. This is done
through the Setup tab > Printer > Unprintable Area button.
Here are some guidelines on using the ‘Account for unprintable
area’ option.
If you select ‘Account for unprintable area’:
• You will also have selected a minimum output margin at least
equal to the printer’s margins. The program will automatically
update the values in the Setup tab’s margin values to reflect
this. If you set output margins to zero or lower than the
printer’s, then the printer’s margins are used and updated as
the output margins.
• If the output margins you set are higher than the printer’s, then
the printer’s margins are deducted from the output margins
meaning the scanner software only adds on the margins that
the printer is missing. This means that your total margin,
measured from the paper’s physical edges, will be as you
specified in the Setup tab’s Margins option.
• The cropping effect on the original is always determined by the
value displayed on the Setup tab’s Margin button whether it
was automatically calculated or not. The actual cropping effect
will be as displayed in your WYSIWYG preview.
hp designjet 815mfp & scanner 4200
79
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If you do not select ‘Account for unprintable area’:
• The output margins you set will be added to the printer’s and
applied as if measuring inwards from the paper’s physical
edges.
• Only the specified output margins will crop the copy as
displayed in your preview.
You would typically want to use precise margins when copying on
standard-format-sized sheets manually fed into the printer. When
you print on paper rolls, you will often have to cut out the copy
anyway.
Examples
If you are copying an original photo without margins then set your
output margins to zero and uncheck the ‘Account for unprintable
area’ option. Print the copy on a roll or a sheet larger than the
specified output size to get the whole image because the printer’s
enforced margins will offset your copy.
Let’s say you are printing a D-size poster, you want a margin of 1.5"
on the copy and your printer margins are 0.5". You are duplicating
the poster on a D-size sheet. Here you could select the ‘Account for
unprintable area’ option. You can then set your output margins to
1.5" and you will also get only a 1.5" margin from the paper’s
physical edges. Using the ‘Account for unprintable area’ option
saves paper for jobs when margins and slight cropping are
acceptable.
tell me about scanner setup options
extended thickness paper handling
Scanning thick originals can give distorted results at both the top
and bottom edges where the edge meets the scanner’s rollers. You
can omit edge distortion by letting the scanner skip the leading and
trailing edges. Edge skipping is the default setting in one of the
extended media positions. Use the checkbox ‘Use extending
thickness paper handling’ to enable and disable skipping of the two
edges.

paper loading
manual/automatic
With manual loading, you position the original in the slot and then
press the down button on the scanner.
With automatic loading, the scanner detects and loads the original
as soon as you insert it.
See how do I define scanner setup options? on page 39.
side/center
You can load your original into the scanner from the scanner’s
center or side. Center loading is handy with standard sized
originals (A4, A3, E-size, and so on). Center loading is strongly
recommended when scanning thick originals such as cardboard or
foam-board. Side loading is convenient when you want to use the
ruler imprinted near the scanner’s insertion slot to read the width.
See how do I set preferences? on page 44.
delay factor
A delay factor can be set for automatic paper loading giving you
time to position the original correctly.
See how do I define scanner setup options? on page 39.
correction factor in scanning
This option allows you to fine-tune the scanner’s vertical precision
setting and mainly refers to copying where the relationship between
lengths on the original must be kept in proportion. Examples are
engineering drawings, maps, and perhaps even some types of art
posters.
During scanning, an original image is digitized as it is propelled
through the scanner. One at a time, thin strips of the image are
processed as they pass the cameras. Vertical precision is directly
affected by the speed in which this happens. Inaccurate vertical
precision makes vertical lines in the scanned image become longer
or shorter than the same lines in the original. The vertical scan
accuracy is adjusted and set mechanically during production of the
scanner. This setting is extremely precise and more than adequate
for most purposes.
hp designjet 815mfp & scanner 4200
81
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If you require very high accuracy, you can modify the vertical
precision to a value between -1% and 1%. Positive settings mean
that the distance between scan lines will be increased, and negative
settings mean that the distance between scan lines will be
decreased. When you exit the Scanner Setup dialog, the modified
value is stored in non-volatile memory in the scanner and can be
changed only by re-doing the setup.
The procedure for vertical precision adjustment would be to scan a
precision original and measure the vertical distance between points
in the image in a CAD or GIS system. Then compare those with
similar physical measurements between the points on the original.
You should scan at the scanning resolution you will later be using
for the end result.
tell me about paneling and tiling options
Paneling enables you to create huge enlargements. With paneling
you print wide format sections of your image as ‘panels’ and then
glue the panels together to reconstruct the image. In effect, the
Paneling option creates a virtual printer with unlimited width
capabilities. The HP Designjet scanner software makes paneling
easy by supplying precisely placed cutting lines and guiding glue
marks on the panel edges, so you can connect your panels with
near-invisible seams.
Tiling is also paneling—but gives you the option to make your panel
sections by dividing the image both horizontally and vertically.
options
• Width: for setting the width of the panels.
The width includes the Overlap area. The panel width can at
most be as wide as the printer’s printable area. For maximum
sized panels, set the panel width to the same value you set as
the printer’s Media Width (through the Setup tab > Printer >
Unprintable area) minus the printer’s left/right unprintable
areas.
This value should correspond with the documented printable
area for your printer. The scanner software will calculate the
size of the last panel. When calculating special panel widths,
for example for dividing the image into equally wide panels,
you must remember to add extra space for panel overlap (see
the example below).
82
hp designjet 815mfp & scanner 4200
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
• Overlap: determines the width of the overlap areas—that is,
the edges that contain equal image data on two adjacent
panels.
Large, heavy panels will need wider overlap and gluing areas
than smaller panels.
• Glue Marks: small gray arrows are printed on the panel’s
edges to help guide you when you connect the panels.
The glue marks will hardly be distinguishable in your large
copy. The arrows vary in size: the larger the Overlap width, the
larger the arrows printed. Maximum arrow size is 1" high.
• Tiling: allows you to determine the length of your panels.
Your sections will be connected both horizontally and
vertically. Tiling is useful for single sheet printing but can also
be used if you want to make small sections on rolls. With tiling
turned off, the panel is output continuously on the printer from
the image’s top to its bottom. Each panel becomes as long as
the image itself and the panels only have to be connected at
the sides.
• Length: set the length of your tiles if tiling is used.
assembling the panels
The strips or tiles representing sections of a whole image need to be
connected. Unless you have a huge table, it would be best to
arrange your sections on the floor in their correct order.
If you selected the Glue Marks option, the scanner software will
have made your job easier by printing the following guide markings
on the panels:
the cut line
A line will be printed on the left side of panels that are to be joined
with their left neighbor—that is, every panel but the first (leftmost)
panel in a row.
Use a sharp knife, scissors, or other cutting device to cut on the right
edge of the line (to remove the line itself). The cutting line will be
placed in the middle of the overlap area, so slight irregular cuts can
be tolerated since cutout image data will be picked up in the
overlap area of the neighboring panel.

glue mark arrows
After cutting the edges at the cut line, bring your panels together by
overlapping with the rightmost panel on top of the panel on its left.
The second panel in a row overlaps the first panel, the third
overlaps the second and so on. Use the glue mark arrows to fit and
glue the panels together with perfect seams (see the illustration
below).
You assemble the panels by bringing the arrows printed on the
overlapping panel down on top of the arrows printed on the
underlying panel.
If the Tiling option is selected, cut lines and glue marks (D) will be
printed, both for horizontal connection (as illustrated above) and for
vertical connection.
Bring your panels together by overlapping the edges with each
rightmost panel (B) on top of the panel on its left (A). The second
panel in a row overlaps the first panel; the third overlaps the second
and so on as illustrated below. Vertical connection (tiling only) is
performed with the first row at the lowest level and then each
following row overlaps the bottom edges of the tiles in the row
before it.

tell me about nesting
Often you will need to make sets of copies that only take up a
fraction of the full printer width. Normally, multiple printing of “not-
so-wide” copies on large format media (rolls or sheets) will result in
considerable paper waste as each new copy is output on a new
strip starting at the left edge of the paper.
With Nesting you can fit multiple copies side by side using the roll/
sheet width optimally and economically. Nesting is perfect for
printing multiple copies, collated copies, and file print lists, when at
least some of the copies can be fitted side by side in the output.
Nesting is also useful for creating large-thumbnail collages for
presenting overviews of whole sets of images.
The following options are available:
• Optimized: your scanner software will find the best solution for
Nesting with the least paper waste.
Without Optimized the copies are placed side by side in the
order of input. Omitting Optimized can sometimes give a result
that is easier to cut because the copies are simply lined up one
after the other. The price is wasted paper. Selecting Optimized
will always give a more economical result.
• Spacing: determines the minimum of empty space between
each nested image.
Below, simple multiple copies were selected by setting the number
of copies (Copy tab > Copies) to 7 and then selecting nesting. Both
Optimized and non-optimized nesting would give the same result.
Below, optimized nesting of a set of 3 files printed from the print list
(Print tab). One image was set in the list for 2 copies. Optimized

nesting will give equal results no matter how the files are ordered in
the print list.
tell me about previewing and the paper frame
previewing
Creating a preview is not absolutely necessary. If you know your
settings work well with the current original, then you can skip
previewing. The Preview button can be pressed at any time, and
always creates a fresh preview of the whole image while using the
currently active settings. This means that you can visually control
new settings online before pressing the Copy button and sending
output to the printer.
With a preview of the copy loaded in the scanner software, you can
adjust your primary image settings (Type of Original template
parameters) while viewing the “before and after” effects of your
changes through a split screen.
86

the paper frame
The paper frame defines the area of the image that will be copied.
Its size is determined by the size settings made in the Copy Tab
dialog. Your scanner software let you position the paper frame
directly in the preview and thus visually set your copy area.The
paper frame in the preview window fulfills two functions:
• It frames the area in the original that will be copied.
• It shows how the margins will crop the image in the end result.
Before you can see and use the frame, you must have a preview of
the copy loaded through the Copy Preview button. The paper
frame’s size and thickness in the preview window will be
determined by the Input Size, Output Size, and Margins settings.

The paper frame gives a complete “What You See Is What You
Get” (WYSIWYG) impression of your copy.
The frame’s visual outer boundaries are determined by the Input size
setting. The area inside the frame shows what will be copied.
The frame’s thickness visualizes the margins in relation to the copy’s
size and shows how they crop the image. With margins at the value
of zero, a thin frame will still be displayed to show the capture area.

tell me about lists
creating and printing lists
You can select single or multiple files for printing by putting one file
or many files in your list. Multiple selections enable you to use
business hours to create files for copying and then let the program
print your copies overnight. You can set the number of copies you
want by defining the number for each file individually, by
determining the number of sets (how many times the whole list will
be printed), or by using a combination of both.

tell me about media
tell me about copying thick media
There are a number of factors that affect copying of thick media:
• media thickness positions
• modifying stitching parameters
• treating edge distortion
• supporting thick originals
media thickness positions
Auto-adjustment of the scanner’s light profile, stitching, and so on
only takes place with the insertion slot in the Normal position. With
extended media thickness positions, the last performed auto-
adjustment is stored and utilized. This means that you should from
time to time return to the normal position, and especially when
turning the scanner on, to allow it to auto-adjust.
The Normal position also gives the highest scanning speed. In the
extended media thickness positions, scanning speed is
automatically reduced. See how do I change the insertion slot
height? on page 8.
modifying stitching parameters
Thick stiff originals will rest on top of the scanner rollers and thus
raise a small distance over the glass plate, which will lead to
changes in the stitching of images at points between the cameras
(overlapping pixels). The stitching parameters will need to be
modified in order to correct for this. You can modify stitching
parameters in your application's Scanner Setup dialogs.
treating edge distortion
Scanning thick originals can give distortions when the front edge
meets the exit rollers or the trailing edge leaves the entry rollers. To
omit this, the leading and trailing edges are by default skipped
when in one of the extended media thickness positions.

supporting thick originals
To facilitate scanning of thick originals in the extended media
thickness positions it is important to insert the original center
aligned and to help support the original during scanning. This
should be done both at the entrance side and the exit side of the
scanner. Specially designed support tables can be attached behind
the scanner for those who perform a lot of thick media scanning.

tell me about calibrating RIP settings
Use this feature if you are using media that is not available in your
profile list and you wish to fine tune the output results. The Calibrate
RIP dialog (available from Setup > Printer > Add Media Profile) lets
you adjust two parameters: Ink level and Gray balance.
ink level
You can adjust the ink level if you are using a printer setup with the
RIP CMYK, RIP CMY, RIP CMYKcm.
You evaluate the need for reducing the Ink Level from a sheet printed
with your printer on the intended media. Your output Ink Level Sheet
will be similar to the one shown below:
The sheet’s color patches are different grades of complement colors
to the printer’s basic colors. Printing these colors will require more
than one basic printer color, hereby firing a critical amount of ink
onto the media. The ink level should only be reduced from 100% if
any of these 3x3 patches bleed or the paper waffles too much. The
10th patch on the sheet is a straight black patch. If you lower the
ink level, make sure that this black patch does not become lighter
when you reprint the sheet. You can continue making adjustments
and reprinting evaluation sheets until you are satisfied with the
results.

gray balance
Gray Balance configuration offers the adjustment of gamma values
for red, green, and blue. The purpose is to ensure a 100% neutral
appearance of printed gray. To assist you in setting the Gray
Balance values for your printer, you can print out a set of gray
scales with varying combinations of gamma by pressing the Print
Gray Balance Sheet button. With the resulting printout you can
visually determine the most neutral scale, read the gamma values off
the printout and enter these values in the Gray Balance settings. The
Gray Balance Sheet is shown below:
The Gray Balance Sheet displays a matrix with the red setting on
the bottom axis and the green setting on the left. A single element in
the matrix is a row of shades, as they look at the given gamma
values. The blue value is fixed to 1.0.
You select the best row of shades in the matrix and use the gamma
values to make your settings in the dialog. Start out in the middle of
the sheet (1.0, 1.0, 1.0), and step up/down or left/right. If you
believe the best values lie between two patches, you are free to
enter mid values like 1.1 instead of 1.0 or 1.2. In the example
above, if the row that shows the best balance is the one encircled
then you would set Gray Balance to red = 0.6, green = 0.8 and
blue = 1.0 in the dialog.
If no satisfactory standard Gray Balance can be found, Advanced
Gray Balance calibration is necessary.

tell me about advanced gray balance
This facility is available from Setup > Printer > Add Media Profile >
Calibrate RIP > Advanced.
advanced gray balance
The Advanced Gray Balance calibration is necessary if no
satisfactory standard Gray Balance can be found. While the
standard Gray Balance adjusts the shape of simple gamma curves,
the Advanced Gray Balance can adjust the RGB curves to any
shape via the LUT file.
When doing an Advanced Gray Balance calibration, the approach
is to twist the red, green, and blue curves iteratively, so that the
entire printed gray scale appears neutral to the human eye.
