NOTE: If you do not know the SMTP server name, SMTP port number, or authentication information, contact the email/Internet service provider or system administrator for the information. SMTP server names and port names are typically found by doing an Internet search. For example, use terms like “Gmail smtp server name” or “Yahoo smtp server name” to search.

• SMTP server authentication requirements for outgoing email messages, including the user name and password used for authentication, if applicable.

Several settings influence the total time for a scanning job. To optimize scanning performance, consider the following information:

• To optimize performance, make sure the computer meets the recommended system requirements. To view minimum and recommended system requirements, see the HP support website, and then search for the scanner model plus the word specifications.

• Saving a scanned image to a searchable format (for example, searchable PDF) takes more time than saving to an image format because the scanned image is analyzed using optical character recognition (OCR). Verify the need for a searchable output file before selecting a searchable scan format.

• Scanning at a higher resolution than necessary increases scanning time and creates a larger file with no additional benefit. If scanning at a high resolution, set the resolution to a lower level to increase scanning speed.

To scan fragile document (such as photos or documents on wrinkled or very lightweight paper), place the document in a clear carrier sheet before loading it into the input tray.

For 5000 s5, 7000 s3, and N7000 snw1 models: Before starting scan, slide the thick media switch to the disabled position (to the left side).

Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave streaks on the scanning strips. Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the scanning strips.

4. Dry the scanning strips with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth. Wipe the strips of gray, reflective material on each strip.

5. Close the document feeder, reconnect the USB cable and power supply to the scanner, and then press the Power button to turn on the scanner. The scanner is now ready to use.
