Product Review
If you're wondering how grayscale differs from halftone, or whether you can tell the difference between an image scanned at 600 dots per inch (dpi) and one scanned at 300 dpi, the Hewlett-Packard Official Scanner Handbook will answer all your questions. This handbook shows you how to get the most out of your scanner by untangling jargon and helping you perform complicated tasks professionally.
The features and capabilities of various scanners are examined in language the layperson can understand. Even though the book mentions only HP hardware products by name, much of the advice presented applies just as well to other manufacturers' products.
A segment of the book tackles the question, "What do we do now?" It contains ideas for a series of scanner projects, including custom paperweights, mobiles, greeting cards, T-shirts, and tons more. These are real scissors-and-glue craft projects (with scanners and printers thrown into the mix) that would suit any adult-and-kid duo perfectly on the proverbial rainy day. --David Wall
Book Description
With more than 40 step-by-step projects covering a wide range of activities for both home and business, this engaging guide will help you produce distinctive documents and designs, showing you throughout how to use your scanner more efficiently-and always more creatively. While scanners are relatively easy to use, the more you know, the more you can do with them.
Although Hewlett-Packard products are used for examples throughout the book, The Hewlett-Packard Official Scanner Handbook covers scanning issues that are virtually the same no matter what scanner you own, such as installation, optimization, and resolution issues.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book is full of great information about scanning. The reader will come away with a wealth of knowledge about scanning. The problem I had was that I bought an HP 6300C scanner and since HP doesn't supply owner's manuals, I purchased this book to help me learn more about my scanner. There doesn't seem to be anything directly related to the 6300 scanner series and how to use the multifunctions that are a part of it - copying, faxing, e-mailing and filing. I learned a great deal from this book about scanning, but very little about how to use my scanner since the ScanJetII they use for examples isn't like the newer HP scanners.
