Hi all,



Just picked up this scanner and using with my Powerbook 15" AL 1gHz. I'm used to the Canon's N670U (pre-LIDE or whatever they are now), interface; but now I'm a little confused about setting my preferences for import with this interface.



Is anyone else using this scanner? Where do I set up the resolution at which I want to scan my images in? And how do I adjust the size in which to import it? i.e. 100%, 400% etc. Any related experience is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If you want to set the preferences once, and not do it every time...



    /Applications/Hewlett-Packard/HP Photo and Imaging Software/HP Scanjet Software/HP Scanner Preferences.app



    In there you want to go to the last tab in the first row of tabs, it's called HP Direct Buttons. From there you can customize whatever you want each button to do.





    Pray tell why you couldn't read the manual...probably would have explained it more eloquently and then it would also show pictures
