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 camerascalled 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  
scanners 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.

how do I use copy options and tools?  
how do I use the previewing tools?  
The Preview button  
time it is selected.  
loads a fresh preview of the copy each  
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.  
14  
hp designjet 815mfp & scanner 4200  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
       
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.  
how do I set the number of copies?  
Wide-format copy jobs can be time-consuming. This option allows  
you to leave the system working overnight or frees you to take care  
of other tasks.  
1. Press the Copies option if you want to make more than one  
copy of the loaded original.  
2. Enter the number of copies in the edit field.

how do I collate copiescreate copy sets?

areas:  
scanner control area with 1 key and 3 red/green indicator  
lights.  
paper control area with 2 keys and 1 red/green indicator  
light.  
scanner control area

When you connect the scanner to the power outlet it starts  
up in ON mode: the light is green. With the scanner then  
connected to the power outlet, you control scanner power through  
the power switch:  
To turn the scanner from ON to OFF, press down for 1 second  
until the light is red.  
To turn the scanner from OFF to ON, press down until the light  
is green.  
diagnostics light  
Flashes if an error is detected by the built-in diagnostic.  
Simultaneous flashing by both the Diagnostic and the Wait (Warm-  
up) lights may mean that that the scanning area needs cleaning. For  
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 scanners 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 control area

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 originals 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.

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 scanners  
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  
dont 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 scanners 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  
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 applications 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  
60

by adding toned shades of gray in regions between black and  
white. The copy modes are described in the table below:

close to the shades making up  
the images data and hard to  
differentiate.  
B/W Copy Photo  
ADL+ Error diffusion halftoning Halftone copy to print of  
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 scanners 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 aftereffects 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:

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-upsduring 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 scanners 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 doesnt require a prescan;  
but the Image method may be more accurate (if the paper is longer  
than the image).

This option tells the scanner software whether to display paper sizes  
(dimensions) or paper titles (such as E-0, A3) where possible.  
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  
the Quick select lists option selected: Quick select lists ON (first)  
and OFF (second). The Tool button on the Input Size dialog will

times the system scans, prints, and copies (straight-through scan and  
print). Scan to File updates only the scan fields, Print from File only  
the print fields, while Copy and Collate Copy update both. The  
number of square feet or square meters for scanning and printing  
activities are calculated from the Input size and Output size settings.

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 dont know the size  
offhand. Your scanner software always maintains an images 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 optionsrelationships  
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 originals input size and  
thereby calculated the correct scale.  
Note: your scanner software will always retain an images 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 scanners 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 standardas the rest of the worlds.  
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 resultsa new  
size definition on the applications 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 originaltemplate 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  
text while maps are line-oriented.  
To make small adjustments to a standard Type of original template  
or to define one of your own, see how do I define an original  
template? on page 31.

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 shouldnt 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 colors 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 copys 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 its 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 originals 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  
hp designjet 815mfp & scanner 4200  
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 noisein 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.  
Dont think of blurring as the opposite of sharpening. Sharpening  
works on the images 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  
devices 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 originals 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 areaoption  
The margins we set in the Setup tab dialog are the copys output  
margins. But the printer itself also creates margins. The size of your  
printers margins or so-called unprintable areadepends on the  
printer model and cannot be changed. You should consider the  
printers margins as your minimum margins and they will be in your  
output whether you want them to or not.  
The Account for unprintable areaoption 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 printers 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 printers 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  
areaoption.  
If you select Account for unprintable area:  
You will also have selected a minimum output margin at least  
equal to the printers margins. The program will automatically  
update the values in the Setup tabs margin values to reflect  
this. If you set output margins to zero or lower than the  
printers, then the printers margins are used and updated as  
the output margins.  
If the output margins you set are higher than the printers, then  
the printers 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 papers physical edges, will be as you  
specified in the Setup tabs Margins option.  
The cropping effect on the original is always determined by the  
value displayed on the Setup tabs Margin button whether it  
was automatically calculated or not. The actual cropping effect  
will be as displayed in your WYSIWYG preview.

If you do not select Account for unprintable area:  
The output margins you set will be added to the printers and  
applied as if measuring inwards from the papers 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  
areaoption. Print the copy on a roll or a sheet larger than the  
specified output size to get the whole image because the printers  
enforced margins will offset your copy.  
Lets 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 areaoption. You can then set your output margins to  
1.5" and you will also get only a 1.5" margin from the papers  
physical edges. Using the Account for unprintable areaoption  
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 scanners 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 handlingto 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 scanners  
center or side. Center loading is handy with standard sized  
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 scanners 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 scanners 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.

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 panelsand 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 panelingbut 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 printers printable area. For maximum  
sized panels, set the panel width to the same value you set as  
the printers Media Width (through the Setup tab > Printer >  
Unprintable area) minus the printers 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 areasthat 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 panels  
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 images 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 neighborthat 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-widecopies 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

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 aftereffects of your  
changes through a split screen.

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  
frames 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 frames visual outer boundaries are determined by the Input size  
setting. The area inside the frame shows what will be copied.  
The frames thickness visualizes the margins in relation to the copys  
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.

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.

Auto-adjustment of the scanners 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 sheets color patches are different grades of complement colors  
to the printers 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.

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.
