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 scanner's 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 after" effects 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.
