-====== Scanning Willy ======
-. Place document in scanner leaving space between the edges of the document and the edge of the scanner bed.
-. In Photoshop, open:  **File -> Import -> HP Scanjet 8300 series TWAIN**
-{{ :scan_import.png?600 |Importing Scan}}
-.  The scanning software will open and you should be able to see a preview of the document on the left of the window.
-Adjust crop boundary so it includes the entire document with a healthy amount of space outside the document’s edges.
-Set scan resolution to 300 dpi then press “Accept” to scan document into Photoshop.
-{{ :scan_setres.png?600 |Set Resolution}}
-.  In Photoshop, use the crop tool to crop the image, leaving a thin border around the document.
-It might be helpful to enlarge the document by clicking **Ctrl - +**, then adjust the crop boundary.
-{{ :scan_crop.png?200 |Crop in Photoshop}}
-.  Save the file to **Y:\scans\dubois_scanning\staging\box###**, where ### is the box number you’re scanning from.
-Name each file according to the file naming conventions:
-{{ :scan_filenames.png?500 |File Naming Convention}}
-The item number refers to the number of the digital object within each box.  Part numbers are the number of files that make up the digital object.  For example, if the first item in box 1 is a three page letter, the three files would be named like this:
-**mums312-b001-i001-001.tif**
-**mums312-b001-i001-002.tif**
-**mums312-b001-i001-003.tif**
-After the file has been named, click “Save As.”  You will be prompted if you want to compress the file you save.  Choose “LZW” and click “OK”.
-{{ :scan_compress.png?500 |Compress TIFF with LZW}}
-You’re now ready to move on the next item.
-====== Settings ======
-=== Configuring Photoshop ===
-In Photoshop, open **Edit->Preferences->Performance**:
-{{ :scan_setperf1.png?600 |Open the Preferences dialog}}
-In the Preferences dialog, move the slider to increase the memory given to Photoshop to about 1250 MB:
-{{ :scan_setperf2.png?600 |Move slider to increase memory}}
-Click "OK" and restart Photoshop.
-=== Configuring TWAIN ===
-The HP TWAIN software will need to be configured the first time it is used.  Start the import process [[scanning_instructions#scanning_willy|(step number 2 above)]] and before you Accept the scan, open **Scan->Scan Preferences**:
-{{ :scan_twainpref1.png?600 |Open "Scan Preferences"}}
-In the "Scan Preferences" dialog, uncheck all the boxes in the "Automatic Settings" section:
-{{ :scan_twainpref2.png? |Uncheck automatic settings boxes}}
-Now everything should be ready to scan.  These steps only need to be followed the first time a user has scanned on a workstation.  It's probably a good idea, however, to check the scan preferences setting in the TWAIN software for each scanning session just to ensure no automatic changes are being made to the scans.
