General Features
The PaperPort software allows you to annotate, organize, and find
scanned items. You can also electronically link scanned documents to
other applications such as fax, electronic mail (e-mail), and word
processing applications. Unless you specify otherwise, the PaperPort
software is the default inbox for receiving scanned documents at your
computer.
Page View and Desktop View
The PaperPort software has two ways to view scanned material:
Page View is a close-up of one page at a time and allows you to read
and annotate the page.
Desktop View provides an overall view of the PaperPort items, shown
as thumbnails (an icon representing a scanned item). In the PaperPort
software, single-page scanned documents are referred to as items.
Multi-page scanned items are referred to as stacks.

Using the HP LaserJet Companion
Before Using the HP LaserJet Companion
The HP LaserJet Companion can copy and scan various types of items,
from business cards (2 by 3.5 inches, 5.1 by 8.9 cm) to 8.5 by 30 inch
(21.6 by 76.2 cm) pages. The HP LaserJet Companion also accepts 16 to
28 pound (60 to 105 g/m2) bond papers, magazine pages, and
photographs.
However, you should not put anything in the HP LaserJet Companion
that could get stuck in or damage the feed mechanism. Observe the
following precautions to minimize the possibility of jamming the feed
mechanism:
Remove self-stick notes.
Do not scan any document with glue, white-out, or wet ink on it.
Do not scan gummed-backed paper or labels.
Remove staples and paper clips.
Straighten any curls or wrinkles from documents.
Tip If you have problems feeding a page into the HP LaserJet Companion,
turn the page around and feed in the other end of the page.
Avoid documents with tears or perforations.
The paper tray will accept 10 to 20 (maximum) sheets at a time,
depending on the thickness of the sheets.
Feed irregularly-sized sheets one at a time for better results.
Tip Tape newsprint and irregularly-sized items to a regular size sheet to
improve performance. If lightweight bond paper misfeeds or causes
poor performance, you can insert the page into a carrier sheet.

Using the Direct Copy Feature
The Direct Copy feature allows you to print single copies of a document
directly from your HP LaserJet Companion to your printer with or
without your computer turned on. To make direct copies, a LaserJet 4-,
5-, or 6- series printer must be directly connected to your HP LaserJet
Companion.
Note You cannot print direct copies to a network printer. If you do not have a
printer connected to your HP LaserJet Companion, send the document
to your computer and then to the HP LaserJet Companion Copier
software to print from a network printer. For more information on using
the HP LaserJet Companion Copier software, see the “Using the HP
LaserJet Companion Copier Software” section later in this chapter.
Tip Direct copies are defaulted to print at 300 dots per inch (dpi) as black
and white images (no gray tones). For information on optimizing scan
settings for the item being scanned, see the “Adjusting the Copy and
Scan Quality” section later in this chapter.
To print single copies
1Raise the paper tray and the paper supports.
2Place the document face up and top down in the paper tray, and adjust
the paper edge guides by sliding them to the edges of the document.
3If the paper in the printer is a different size than the document you are
trying to copy, you must change the page size in the PaperPort software.
To do this, click Settings in the PaperPort software. Then click More,
and select the size that matches the paper in your printer.
Note You must change the paper size in the printer driver also. To do this,
select the paper size in the Printer folder of the Control Panel.

Importing and Exporting with the
PaperPort Software
Using the Import and Export Feature
Using the PaperPort software, you can import files created in other
applications and export files to other applications. Importing allows you
to edit, organize, or annotate in the PaperPort software. Exporting allows
you to save a copy of an item either as a backup or in another file format.
The PaperPort software can import and export items in the following file
formats:
Format Description
PaperPort file (.MAX) A file previously saved in the PaperPort software for
Windows or the PaperPort software for Macintosh.
Bitmap (.BMP) A format used often for displaying and storing images.
Tag Image File Format
(.TIF)
A format that works well for storage and exchange
between desktop publishing and graphic arts
applications. TIFF also works well between different
platforms, such as Microsoft Windows and Macintosh.
The PaperPort software supports single and multipage
TIFFs.
PC Paintbrush (.PCX) A format commonly used for paint applications.
Windows Images (.DCX) A format for multipage .PCX files.
Joint Photographic
Exports Group (.JPG)
An international standard for the compression of digital
photographic images.
Graphic Interchange
Format (.GIF)
A format for images on online services and the World
Wide Web.

6Click OK.
Exporting Compressed Files
Because exported files can sometimes be large and take a long time to
export, the PaperPort software has a built-in compression feature for
files that are exported in the .JPG file format.
Compression speeds up the export process, but at the same time
decreases the image quality. The PaperPort software lets you adjust the
image quality setting to meet your particular needs.

Troubleshooting and Error Messages
Performing Basic Troubleshooting Steps
This chapter suggests steps to solve common problems you may
encounter while using the HP LaserJet Companion and the PaperPort
software. If your HP LaserJet Companion doesn’t work properly, check
the following items first:
Is the power supply connected to the HP LaserJet Companion and
plugged into an electrical outlet?
Is the interface cable from the HP LaserJet Companion to the computer
connected?
Is the parallel cable from the HP LaserJet Companion to the printer
connected?
Are you using an IEEE-1284 compliant parallel cable? (“IEEE-1284”
will be stamped on the cable.)
Was the software installed properly?
Are there any messages displayed on your computer?
Are you able to print?
Are you connected to an HP LaserJet 4-, 5-, or 6- series printer?
Unplug the HP LaserJet Companion from its power source, and plug it
back in.
For more information on installation and set up, see chapter 1,
“Installing the HP LaserJet Companion Printer Accessory.” If you have
questions that you do not find the answers to in this chapter, see the HP
service and support information in appendix B, “Warranty and Support
Information.”
Caution The HP LaserJet Companion is not compatible with hardware security
keys installed on the parallel port. These security keys are typically used
with high-end design and architectural applications.

Installation Problems
Windows fails to restart.
If Windows fails to restart when you choose Restart Windows at the
end of the installation, the installation has not been successful and the
PaperPort software will not work. This includes cases in which the
system “hangs” or “freezes” or exits to DOS. Reboot your computer,
and then try running the installation program again. If the problem
occurs again, quit Windows. Then, at the DOS prompt, change to the
Windows System directory by typing CD C:\WINDOWS, and press
[Enter]. Then type PPUPDATE, and press [Enter]. This completes the
installation.
Note The PaperPort software does not support Windows NT, OS/2, or
Windows running under OS/2 (Win-OS/2).
HP LaserJet Companion Operation Problems
Unable to scan.
- Or -
HP LaserJet Companion communication problems.
If the HP LaserJet Companion is unable to scan, try the following:
Ensure that the interface cable that was shipped with the HP LaserJet
Companion is connected to your computer’s parallel port and to the To
PC connector on the HP LaserJet Companion.
Unplug the HP LaserJet Companion’s power supply from the surge
protector and then plug it back in. You should hear a brief hum when
you first plug it in. The HP LaserJet Companion does not have a power
button or power indicator light; it is ready to scan when the power is
connected.
Ensure the parallel port is configured correctly. The parallel port mode
is stored in your computer’s CMOS memory and is accessible through
the computer’s Setup program. This program, which allows you to
change your computer’s CMOS settings, is activated on most computers
by pressing a key such as [F2],[F8], or [Delete] when your computer is
first powering on, but before Windows starts. As your computer is
powering on, watch the screen for a message that gives the correct key
to press to start the program. The message will likely read Press
<Key> for Setup. Once the program is running, locate the section
listing the mode of your computer’s parallel port and make sure it is set
to bi-directional, ECP, Enhanced, or PS/2. The parallel port should not
be set to EPP, AT, or Standard. You can usually change the settings by
scrolling using the [+] or [–] keys, arrow keys, or function keys.
7-2 Troubleshooting and Error Messages EN
Note If you have problems locating or changing the setting, please refer to
your computer’s documentation on changing CMOS settings or to theg
Guide to Changing the Parallel Port Mode in Setup included with your
HP LaserJet Companion.
The HP LaserJet Companion requires a bi-directional or ECP compliant
parallel port to communicate properly with your computer. Older
computers may not have this type of port. If you have another parallel
port on your computer, try attaching the interface cable to that port. You
can also purchase a bi-directional or ECP compliant port and install it on
your computer.
If you still encounter communication problems after verifying that the
parallel port is configured for bi-directional communication, there might
be a conflict with other software your computer. Because the HP
LaserJet Companion shares the parallel port with printers and other
devices, software that uses these devices must occasionally release the
parallel port to allow other programs to use the port. If a program that
uses the parallel port does not release it, then the HP LaserJet
Companion software will be unable to communicate with the HP
LaserJet Companion. Printer drivers and printer status monitors are
automatically loaded by Windows at startup, and are often the cause of
such conflicts. The README.TXT, which shipped with the HP
LaserJet Companion, contains a list of software known to cause
conflicts. For instructions on disabling conflicting software, see the HP
LaserJet Companion README.TXT file located in the PaperPort
Program group.

(21.6 by 27.9 cm) page, then the image in PaperPort software will be 8.5
by 11 inches (21.6 by 27.9 cm) from edge to edge. However, most
printers cannot print right up to the edge of the paper.
Images will not print.
The HP LaserJet Companion does not support network printers for
direct copies. To make copies using the Direct Copy feature, the printer
must be connected directly to the HP LaserJet Companion.
Make sure the HP LaserJet Companion is connected to a compatible
printer. HP LaserJet Companion is designed to work with HP LaserJet

7-10 Troubleshooting and Error Messages EN
A high percentage of incorrect characters appears in an item that
was converted with the OCR link.
The accuracy of the OCR link depends on the quality, size, and structure
of the original document and on the quality of the scan itself. To obtain
the best possible results when using the OCR link, choose a scan setting
specific to text and do the following:
Process only pages that have crisp, clear text. Letters that have gaps, that
“bleed” along their edges, or that touch other letters will not work well
with the OCR link. Note that underlining and text that is close to
non-text items, such as graphics, will also degrade OCR results.
Process only pages that contain 9-point text or larger.
Adjust the OCR, Fax Text mode and adjust the sensitivity setting to get
the densest, clearest letters without any “bleeding” along their edges.
See “Adjusting Copy and Scan Quality” in chapter 3.

Import and Export File Problems
Exported files expand in size when opened in a paint program.
Many paint programs ignore the dpi resolution information in BMP,
PCX, and TIF files. These programs assume that the resolution of the
file is the same as the current screen resolution. Because these files
actually contain more information than the screen can display, they grow
in size. The following are some possible solutions:
Instead of using the Export command, you can open the item in Page
View, copy the information, and then paste it into the program you want
to use or into a new file in a paint program.
You can also open the file in a graphics program that accurately reads
the dpi resolution contained in the file.
Unable to import a file.
Check whether the file you want to import is saved in an appropriate
format, such as BMP, PCX, or TIF. If it is none of these formats, select
the file type you want and try importing the file again.
You can also try opening the file in a paint program and saving it as a
BMP file under a new file name. Then try opening the new file in the
PaperPort software.

Error Messages
When a problem occurs, an error message may be displayed which
indicates the type of problem. This section explains what to do if you
see one of these messages.
Message Category Recommended Action
An unsuccessful application exit has left
Windows in an unstable state. You should
restart Windows.
General This can occur if your computer “hangs” or “crashes while
the PaperPort software is running, or if some other error
occurs. Try restarting Windows. Although you can continue
to work in Windows, you will not be able to scan or start the
PaperPort software again until you restart Windows.
COMMUNICATION PROBLEM
Error Code: XXX
General The software has failed to communicate with the HP
LaserJet Companion. Repeat the software action that
generated the message. If the message occurs again,
unplug the HP LaserJet Companion from its power source
and plug it back in. If the message reoccurs, your
computer’s CMOS may not be configured for bi-directional
parallel port communication. For more information on
configuring your CMOS, see the “HP LaserJet Companion
Operation Problems” section earlier in this chapter or the
GuidetoChangingtheParallelPortModeinSetup
included
with your HP LaserJet Companion.
Not enough disk space. Memory The PaperPort software requires at least 8 MB of available
diskspacetobeinstalled.AfteryouselectthePaperPort
software and data directories, the installation program
checks that your computer has enough available disk
space. If you need more disk space, try deleting
unnecessary files or archiving older data to floppy disks or
some other medium.
One or more pixels could not be gain
corrected. The remaining pixels were
calibrated. You will likely see vertical
streaks in scanned images.
General The recalibration detected a non-correctable dark line. This
could be caused by using lined paper for recalibration, or a
contaminant may be obstructing the scanning element. Be
sure to use clean white paper for recalibration. For cleaning
instructions, see “Cleaning the HP LaserJet Companion”
earlier in this chapter.
PaperPort cannot arrange your Desktop
because system resources are low. Please
close one or more applications and try
again.
Desktop Quit any other applications that are running. If there are any
items in your Startup program group, remove them, restart
Windows, and try again. Note that some applications do not
release all the memory or resources that they use even
when you exit them. Restarting Windows with no
applications in your Startup group can give you maximum
memory and resources.
PaperPort cannot create a calibration file.
Your disk may be full or read-only.
General Make sure that your hard disk is not full. The calibration file
requires up to 100K of hard disk space. (Note that you
should have at least 1 MB of free hard disk space to use
the PaperPort software.) In addition, check that you have
read/write access to the drive containing the PaperPort
program directory.
PaperPort cannot paste because the
clipboard image is larger than the current
page.
General The image that you have cut or copied to the Clipboard is
larger than the item on which you are trying to paste. Try
copying a smaller image to the Clipboard. If you have a
large image to paste, divide it into sections and copy and
paste each section in turn. When pasting to a PaperPort
item, the PaperPort software enables you to position the
paste precisely before committing it.

PaperPort cannot read page <N> of the file
<file name> because the page is damaged.
Disk and File An item or a page in a stack can be damaged if your
computer is shut down while the PaperPort software is
running or if the PaperPort software is shut down in any
way other than by a normal exit. Attempt to repair this file by
running MAXFIX.EXE. Then follow the instructions on the
screen.
PaperPort is out of available system
memory. Please close some other
application(s) and select Retry to proceed,
or select Cancel to close PaperPort.
There is not enough available memory to
complete this operation. Please see
PaperPort Help or the Troubleshooting
section of your User’s Guide.
Memory These errors can be caused by low memory, insufficient
system resources, or too few file handles. You should have
at least 8 MB of available memory and 50% of your system
resources. Note that your computer should have 8 MB of
physical RAM (not virtual memory) to use the OCR link.
To make more memory, resources, or file handles available,
try the following:
PaperPort cannot receive printed pages.
System memory may be low. Try exiting
from other applications.
Create a permanent swap file in the Virtual Memory
section of the 386 Enhanced Control Panel. Use the size
suggested in the dialog box. Make sure you have at least
20 MB of available space on the selected drive.
Quit any other applications that are running. If there are
any items in your Startup program group, remove them
and restart Windows.
If you are using a computer with less than 6 MB of
physical memory, limit the SmartDrive cache for Windows
to 256K or 128K. To do this, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT
file. Change the second number in the line
DEVICE=CKSMARTDRV.EXE to 256 or 128.
Before Windows starts, check the amount of memory
available by typing MEM at the DOS prompt. The largest
executable program size should be at least 450K. If it
isn’t, see your DOS and Windows documentation for
information about optimizing memory.
Tryincreasingby20thelineFILES= in your
CONFIG.SYS file to increase the number of file handles.
Then restart your computer.
PaperPort cannot use the file <file name>
because it is damaged. You can run
MAXFIX.EXE to repair this file.
Disk and File An item or a page in a stack can be damaged if your

Link Try reinstalling the linked application. If the problem
persists, contact HP to see if an update is available for the
link.
PaperPort has detected that the support
file MAXLINK.DLL has been overwritten by
a recently installed link. Please install
PaperPort again to install the correct
MAXLINK.DLL.

older version of MAXLINK.DLL, it may overwrite the newer
version in the PaperPort directory. Reinstall the PaperPort
software and the correct version of this file will be properly
installed.

The calibration of exposure time failed. The HP LaserJet Companion has failed a critical step in the
recalibration process. Repeat the recalibration process. See
“Recalibrating the HP LaserJet Companion” earlier in this
chapter. If the message occurs again, the HP LaserJet
Companion has failed and requires repair or replacement.
See appendix B, “Warranty and Support Information.”
The system is too busy to accept a page
from your scanner. Please scan this page
again.
General Your computer was busy doing something else, so the HP
LaserJet Companion could not communicate with the
PaperPort software. In most cases, scanning again will
succeed. If not, quit other applications and try scanning
again.
This item contains one or more
annotations that cannot be displayed by
