I HAVE HP LASERJET M1213 NF MFP BUT WHENEVER AM TRYING TO INSTALL THE DRIVER, THE 1210 DRIVER IS GETTING INSTALLED.
THIS 1210 DRIVER SCAN ALL THE DOCUMENTS IN COLOR AND AM NOT ABLE TO FIND THE SETTING OPTION FROM WHERE I CAN CHANGE THE SETTING TO EITHER BLACK AND WHITE OR GREY SCALE.
HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP.

Hi @kuchbhi,
I can help you set the scans to black & white using the HP Scan Software.
I have provided a document for changing all the different scan settings. Scan.
Select your Operating System.
Here is a screen shot for changing the output to black & white from the HP Scan Software.
What application are you using to scan with?
What operating system are you using? How to Find the Windows Edition and Version on Your Computer.
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.

PSE8 Black and White scanned pics need editing

Any suggestions how to retouch an older black & white photo? I scanned it into PSE8 and it needs some major adjustments. My last photo editing program had tools for just black and white edits. Help!

Thanks Bob for your timely response. I found my problem was due to choosing
the "black and white" option for scanning. Apparently, that is for text.
The correct option was "grey tones" for scanning black and white photos.

How do I smooth black and white scanned image?

I am trying to edit some scanned images that appear to be printed on linen with the pixels showing. I scanned them at the highest quality possible but that didn't help. So, I tried editing using the blur feature. Not only is that quite time consuming but I fear I am losing some of the quality of the image by doing it this way. Where do I begin and what steps do I follow to take out the checkered effect?

Whats the size of scanned TIFF?

Identifying black and white versus greyscale in PDF

Is there a way to identify from within a scanned PDF document (ie, something like a document property) that it was scanned as greyscale, black and white, or color? My company is using Acrobat 7.0. We have a requirement, for a variety of reasons, that PDFs for certain projects be provided as black and white scans only, but all too frequently we get them in greyscale or color. We need to be able to easily identify that a PDF is not black and white.
Thanks in advance!

Try the Preflight Tool.

I scanned some black and white negatives into my computer (iMac) where they were stored aas positives on the hard disc. When I import them to iPhoto they turn back into negatives. How do I change them into positives for printing?

I have scanned some black and white negatives into my computer(iMac) where they are stored on the hard disc as positives.When I import them into iPhoto to print they turn back into negatives.How do I turn them back into positives?

That's because you scanned them as B/W photos and iPhoto 08 doesn't support the grayscale color profile. You can either rescan them as color photos or export them as originals out of iPhoto to a folder on the desktop and applhy this Automator application, Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB Profile, on them and then remimport into iPhoto. You can download it from Toad's Cellar . Be sure to read the warning on the website about not applying it on your only copies.

Problem in scanning black and white documents using acrobat 9.0 pro.

when i select file from the menu bar -create pdf-scanner-black and white docment, the logos and images from that page appear as black boxes. I have tried it with different scanners of same model and with different pages and on different machines. I have windows xp pro. Can someone please tell what to do to overcome this problem.Its really urgent....Thank you in advance..

The problem lies with the settings in your scanner's settings. I'd suggest trying to scan as greyscale rather than B&W.

Grayscale scanning comes into Acrobat as black and white

I am trying to scan photos and other documents that have grays in them, using Acrobat Pro 9.
They are coming in as if I had specified black and white.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance.
PS Sorry about the wierd screen name. I had tried a number of nice ones, including my old Adobe user name, but they were all rejected.

Following up to see if anyone has some solid ideas on how this might be happening.
Thanks!

Scanned Black and White Documet to large to email, how to change file size

I cannot email scanned black and white documents as they are to large 35+
MB for a black and white document. Scanned as a bland and white document.
XP Adobe reader X

You can't change it with Reader.
You'll need to either rescan it at a lower resolution or use something like Photoshop to reduce the current resolution.

Can't import Scanned Black and white photos to iphoto

Issue : When importing a *Scanned, Black and white, jPG* image to iphoto get an error message
Error message stats " The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)
Solution: Im not an expert but I think it's the scanner driver and the color profile it uses. Changing the color setting to RGB or color or changing the file type from JPG to Tiff may help. If you have already scanned the photos or if changing the settings do not help the follow the instructions to fix the photos.
1. Locate the Remove.app Script
Location is : Macintosh HD - Library folder - Colorsync Folder - Scripts folder- Remove script
2. Select all of the photos and drag and drop the photos on top of the Remove script. The photos will immediately be ready to import to iphoto and will still be the same location they where dragged from.
Tip: place the photos in a folder on the desktop then select all ( command-A ) the photos with the issue. This may make it easier to drag and drop onto the Remove script

Gail:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The reason you're getting that black thumbnail and full sized image is that iPhoto does not support the grayscale profile Dot Gain 20% that grayscale scanning embeds in those photos. You're best bet is to scan them as color. They will still look the same but have the RGB color mode and sRGB color profile that iPhoto can support.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

I have a CanoScan Lide 700F scanner ,how do I scan Black and white neg.and turn them into positives?

I am scaning all old pictures, docts, slides ,but I have alot of b&w negs verious sizes, how can I turn them into b&w positives??

Hi Teddy.
The MP Navigator EX software that was bundled with your CanoScan LiDE 700F can be used to scan your black and white negatives. To use the MP Navigator, please follow these steps:
1. Start MP Navigator EX and open the Navigation Mode screen.
2. Point to Scan/Import and click Film.
3. Place the film on the Platen.
4. Click Specify... to set the document size and scanning resolution as required.
5. When setting is completed, click OK.
Important
Film may not be scanned correctly when Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box is set to Auto. In that case, select the type of film in Film Type and scan again.
Note
To scan black and white film, it is recommended that you select Black and White Negative Film or Black and White Positive Film for Film Type in the Scan Settings dialog box.
6. Click Scan. Preview scan starts. When preview scan of the film is completed, the preview image appears.
Important
If a message for calibration appears, remove the film, then place the Film Adapter Unit over the first frame of the Film Guide and click OK.
7. When the calibration is completed, follow the on-screen instructions to load the film into the Film Guide, then click OK.
Note
Preview image does not appear when the Preview before scanning checkbox is not selected in the Scan Settings dialog box. The scanned images appear directly in the Thumbnail window.
8. Select the checkbox of the frame and click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Scan Complete dialog box opens.
9. Select Scan or Exit. To scan another frame, place the Film Adapter Unit over the frame you want to scan, then select Scan. Select Exit to end.
The scanned images appear in the Thumbnail window.
10. Edit the scanned images as required. Use Edit Tools to rotate images, select a part of an image, etc.
Note
First select images to edit. (Selected images are outlined in orange.) Drag the mouse or use Shift + arrow keys to select multiple images.
11. Save the scanned images.

Adjusting a grayscale scan so it's black and white

A client sent me a grayscale scan of a line drawing with small text. The lines and text, which should be black, are gray. And the background, which should be white, is a light gray.
The lines should be 100% black, but I'll take what I can get. I fiddled with curves and contrast and stuff, but when I'd get the background adjusted so it was completely white, then the lines weren't dark enough.
And of course converting to a bi-level bitmap made the lines and text all pixelly and horrible.
FWIW, this will be offset printed, so it needs to be high resolution.
Suggestions?
TIA,
Marlene

Up the resolution 2 x using bicubic smoother (if your version of PS has it, otherwise just bicubic).
Then, I usually blur the drawing slightly (maybe .5 - 1 pixel) so that I can add gain to the lines if they are too fine. You might want to avoid the blur step as you have text; test it and see. Also, blurring helps smooth out pixel jaggies if the original image is too low a resolution.
Then use image.. adjust.. levels to make a "bitmap" by pulling together the black and white sliders of the input levels. You don't want the sliders to touch (as Bill's threshold will do), you just want them close together so you're controlling where the bitmap will "break". Make sure to zoom in and inspect your image. You might use a levels adjustment layer for easier tweaking.
You're shooting for a bitmap image of between 800 and 1200 ppi/dpi at print size, so do the math and up-res again (using bicubic smoother) to the correct resolution. Then make the image a bi-level bitmap (image.. mode.. bitmap).

Scanner scans only in black and white

I own a HP Deskjet 2515 and I've been trying to scan some photos but it will just scan them in black and white! Please help, how can I get it to scan them in color? My ink levels are full, I've just change them though I do not know if that is the problem.
Thanks.

Hello betty_vulcano,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some issues when attempting to scan photos to your computer.
What software are you using when attempting to do the scan to your computer? Are you attempting to scan from the front panel on the printer?
Here is a link that will give detailed instructions on how to Scan from Windows 7 With the Full Feature HP Software for HP Multifunction Printers.
Write me back when you have time and I will be happy to research this issue further if needed.

Black and White Tv Pictures with Qosmio G10-106

Grey hairs and going bald from pulling hair out. Bought Toshiba G10-106 in Jan 05,living in Ireland using ordinary Tv cable for laptop and cannot get Tv to work properly.B&w images are the best ive got so far.
Is there compatability issues with Toshiba driver and Windows MCE?Also if i launch Tv without booting windows i get one channel(E4) in colour but totally fuzzy. Would love to have this cracked as spent lot of dosh on the laptop and am relatively new to computers and would like some feel good factor rather than depression.
Thanks all.

Sorry,i should have clarified. My hopes were to watch TV on the laptop itself using the built in TV tuner and the Antenna adapter supplied with the Qosmio,using no other equipment.
I have launch media centre/settings/current region=Ireland/cable or digital selected/analogue terrestrial pal/secam selected/No selected to "Do i have a set top box?",then i return to Tv settings as there is no Guide listings for Ireland.
I then scan for services. Thirty seven services found all in Black and White and some quite fuzzy. Hope this will narrow things down,i cant figure it.
Thanks for help.

I have HP Deskjet 3510 connected wireless - problem is that it wants to print only black and white - is there a color button I am missing? The print quality report is fine in color etc.

I have a HP Deskjet 3510 and it wants to print only in black and white.
The Print Quality Report is fine and in color.
Is there a color button I am missing?

In the Print & Scan system preferences, does it indicate it is using a generic printer driver or a Gutenprint driver?
Also, if you click on Options & Supplies, you might want to check and see if has to be enabled. That kind of sounds odd though.
Another thing is it might not be showing. If the bottom of the print dialog has a button that says "Show Details," click it. Then, you can change settings in the popup menu.

No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !
