Can I see whats on the scanner (on my monitor) prior to scanning and can I select only a portion of whats on the scanner & save it as a bitmap?

You can see the image before scanning. I use editing software after scanning the image to my computer to save what I want. I haven't needed a bitmap image but i'm pretty sure you can save your scanned image in bitmap format. I don't have access to my manual or scanner (packed to move), but if no-one answers your question you should be able to find the manual on the HP website. Good scanner for the price.

The scanner does a preliminary scanning and you may see what was scanned. After that, you may edit the picture and crop it. In terms of saving as a bitmap, you may select saving options and set what you would like the format of the scanned file to be. It is a little tricky though as the saving options are being overridden with default settings every time you start a new scan

Yes. It appears on the mac like an SD card reader, and the scanner dumps its output to the card. It does not work with Preview, Image Capture, or other scanner software. But it doesn't need it; it handles the scanning to the card itself.

Not that I know about, but if you have a Mac you can use "image capture" to scan. It comes with the OS. Maybe Windows has something similar.

I havent figured out how to scan .. I assume there has to be some programming between it and my laptop ... So only use it for printing and copying. Any advice?

You can scan something that's any size you want (as long as its not too big to fit on the glass). You just put as many pictures on the glass as you can fit at a time and scan everything. Once you've cropped out each individual picture (I'm not sure how this model works with that part of the process, sorry), then you can put the jpeg files on a CD or make a slideshow on a DVD or whatever you want. Remember if it's a really small picture you might want to use the enlarge feature when you scan it to make it bigger and a higher resolution so it'll look better on a large screen like a TV. What you've asked about isn't too high of an expectation at all. That's just what any scanner does.

No, the scanner has an SD card and then you take it out of the scanner plug it into your computer and download the pictures to your PC. It actually makes the scanner a bit more portable and easier to use in a lot of ways because you don't need to have your computer handy or near the scanner ... just scan photos and then when you are ready take the SD and transfer them to the computer. It is a nice little scanner. Works very well on most pictures ... if the pictures have a very dark background they won't scan as well, but otherwise I have been very impressed with it.

You can preview/scan several pictures at a time and still use the marque box tool to scan them individually. or just scan them all or scan them one at a time.

If you can get the scanner flat on the surface of each picture you should be ok. If the picture is wedged close to the spine of the book you won't be able to get the scanner to see all of it.

I want to scan old pictures to my computer. If logos and graphics don't come as expected I am skeptical about photos. Has anybody attempted pictures?

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

Yes it can. You have to select type of scan, e.g., tiff or JPEG. You'll probably want JPEG. You should set the resolution, which depends upon what you want to do with the scanned image. Low resolution is OK if you are going to distribute the scanned pictures in emails, but if you want to make prints ultimately, save at at least 300 dpi. You should tell the scanner where on your computer you want to save the files. I use "My Pictures," but the default, whatever it is, is OK, as long as you make a note of it, so that you can find the pictures after scanning them. You'll be asked about color settings or black and white. Choose the default settings for either, since things can become quite complex if you decide to tweak the settings. This is an excellent scanner, and it can do anything you ssk of it, including restoring damaged pictures, but that's for more advanced users.

Yes. There are other formats to which your can select your scanned image to as weell The set up of the scanning drivers and scanner management program did not load correctly from the disk , thus requiring technical call and assistance. Tech Assist was great, responsive, on point and quick. I was up and scanning in minutes after opening the box. The scanner is blazing fast and accurate. We are quite please thus far.

Yes. I love this scanner. It is so easy to use. I just connect it to my computer and scan in. You are given the choice of where you want to save what you have scanned.

Hi Tiffany, you can download the driver to your computer and save the print from the scanner - it's very easy. Ruth

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Yes. Once the first file is saved to a specific folder, the scanner defaults the image to save to that folder the next time, and will point to that folder until you navigate to save the image to a different folder. I like programming the "scan" button to scan using the PDF scanner driver (go to Control Panel >> Devices and Printers >> right click the Fujitsu scanner >> Properties).
