Default Scanner Settings

[Abie]

I've got an HP LaserJet M1522nf and can't figure out if there is a way
to change the default scanner settings.

The one in particular I need to set is for the brightness. For some
reason I have to adjust the brightness every time I scan or the
document is so light I can barely read it.

I do not have the HP software installed, just the basic drivers needed
for printing/scanning/faxing.

Mostly I just use the Scanner/Camera Wizard, the Microsoft Office
Document Scanner program or scan into Adobe Acrobat (use the WIA
option , not TWAIN).

Thanks!

What do you mean, you do not have the HP software installed?

You must have at a minimum the Twain Driver installed.

If you do have or will install the HP Twain driver, you can use Irfanview
Viewer as a Twain Scanner interface.

You need to install the Irfanview Plug-in also

In the HP Twain Driver you can use a "Pro" mode or Advanced Mode to set
the parameters for scanning.

Much more control over the scan parameters.

In Irfanview on the file menu, select source first, then scan/acquire.
Once the source is selected, you do not have to do that step again,
unless you change scanner.

Hi, have the exact same printer/scanner and the exact same problem. It
use to work perfectly, but not the images just seem to be over exposed.
I have two of them so it not the hardware. I have search a hardware
setting, but coudn't find anything. I have other printers/scanners that
still behave normally.

Have you changed the toner recently?

or is this showing in the scan preview?
