Where to find a scanner
Computers with scanners are identified with a scanner sticker. Scanners are available:
Each scanner works a little differently. For detailed, scanner specific instructions, click on the name of the box that you are wanting to use. Generally, they all work on the same concepts, as described below.
Tutorial
This tutorial is intended to show you how to use the HP ScanJet scanner with Photoshop 8/ Photoshop CS. You must be at a computer that is directly connected to a scanner.
To begin start Photoshop by double clicking the Photoshop icon on the desktop. If there is no icon on the desktop, you can open Photoshop by clicking Start -> Programs -> Adobe Photoshop CS.Place the image you want to scan face down on the glass of the scanner. When Photoshop has finished loading, click on the File menu, and move the mouse down to Import. A submenu will open, choose the option that mentions HP and does not begin with WIA. This varies depending on what box you are on.
A window will open, and the scanner lamp will start warming up. At this point, specific instructions vary according to box. Basically, there will automaticaaly be a pre-scan, this will scan a preview of the image on the glass. This is just a preview, so you can expect it to be poor quality, and much smaller than you want it. If you did not position the image on the glass as you wanted to, do so now, then click "Start a new scan" or "Preview" again. Repeat this process until the preview appears as you want it.
The preview you see is of the whole scanning area, so you should "crop", or remove the excess area of the image. Using the preview image as a guide line, draw a box around the part of the image you want to scan. Do this by clicking and holding the mouse in one corner of the image, and dragging the curser to the opposite corner. You do NOT have to be exact, just make sure the rectangle contains at least every thing you want to scan.You can crop the image more precisely, as well as make other adjustment once, once you get the image into Photoshop.
There will be options as far as output type and size, etc that can be adjusted before the actual scan is made, and then once all such factors are adjusted, you select to accept the scan or send actual scan (as the case may be).
(If the image seems to be taking a long time to finish scanning, ask a lab monitor for help.)
Once the image has finished scanning, the scanning window will disappear. You should now be back into Photoshop, and should see the image you just scanned. The image may not appear the size you want it to be on screen. To see the actual size the image, change the number in the lower left corner to 100%.
Now you may crop the image more precisely. The tool to do this is indicated in the following image. Position the tool at a corner of the image you want to keep and then drag along the diagonal to the opposite corner of the desired image. Then right click in the selected area to bring up the option to crop or cancel the selection.
You may wish to do more to the image, and you can do just about anything with Photoshop. However, there are far too many options and tools to describe in this tutorial, but Photoshop is a powerful tool, and it is worth your time to learn how to use it if you want to do anything more than just scan your image.
After you crop the image, you will need to save it. Do this by going to the file menu, and clicking "Save as...". Now you just name your file, and choose where and how to save it. In most cases, you will want the file type to be JPEG, this will ad a ".jpg" to the end of your file name. Make sure you note where you saved the image so that you can find it later.

Place the image you want to scan face down on the glass of the scanner. Open Photoshop by double clicking the Photoshop icon on the desktop. If there is no icon on the desktop, you can open Photoshop by clicking Start -> Programs -> Adobe Photoshop CS. When Photoshop has finished loading, click on the File menu, and move the mouse down to Import. A submenu will open, choose the option that says HP Scanjet 3500c (and then something about Series...).
A window titled hp scanning will open, and the scanner lamp will begin warming up. This process takes a few minutes, please be patient. Once the lamp is warmed up, the scanner will automatically do a pre-scan, and the image will show up in the hp scanning window. You can adjust the location of the picture, and numerous settings and output types with the options across the top of the window and by actually moving the image on the glass and selecting Preview in the bottom right hand corner of the window. Preview will rescan the image. Repeat this process until the preview appears as you want it.
The preview you see is of the whole scanning area, so you should "crop", or remove the excess area of the image. Using the preview image as a guide line, draw a box around the part of the image you want to scan. Do this by clicking and holding the mouse in one corner of the image, and dragging the curser to the opposite corner. You do NOT have to be exact, just make sure the rectangle contains at least every thing you want to scan. You can crop the image more precisely, as well as make other adjustments once you get the image into Photoshop.
Once the options are set, or if you don’t want to modify the scan parameters, click the button called Accept. This will bring up a progress bar. While the image is scanning, it is important that the scanner and the image on the glass remain still. When the image has finished scanning you may remove the image from the glass.
(If the image seems to be taking a long time to finish scanning, ask a lab monitor for help.)
Once the image has finished scanning, the hp scanning window will disappear. You should now be back into Photoshop, and should see the image you just scanned. The image may not appear the size you want it to be on screen. To see the actual size the image, change the number in the lower left corner to 100%.
At this point, you are back in Photoshop. There is more information listed in the general instructions. Remember to save your work, and note the location where you saved it. (Tutorial)

Make sure that the third option is set for "Photoshop".
Under the forth option you can modifiy the scan parameters. These parameters allow you to change different options about how the image will be scanned. You can adjust the color type (Black and White, or Color), and the output size, for instance. You will need different settings depending what you want to use the image for, and what restrictions you have on file size. It takes some time to understand all these options, and if you need help, you can ask one of the lab monitors.
Once the options are set, or if you don’t want to modify the scan parameters, click the button called "Send the scan now". This will bring up a progress bar. While the image is scanning, it is important that the scanner and the image on the glass remain still. When the image has finished scanning you may remove the image from the glass.
