There is no grayscale option for scanning: Anybody knows how to get grayscale?

I have the S510 model. With it I've had luck with setting the scanner for black and white (under the scanning tab), then going to the options button on the same tab, and adjusting the the brightness. For this to work, the box for text only must be un-checked. I find the higher the resolution used, the better the result. Remember, I'm using the software for the S510, so I'm not sure what your sofeware looks like. Hope this helps.

Yes. Under properties is a box for grayscale printing. This should render color documents in grayscale. Obviously if the document is not in color the printer prints black and white. It does have multiple settings. Be sure to do test prints prior to any large job.

Consult the printer's owners manual. You can also request grayscale or black only when queuing up to print. Not very familiar with Mac but that should be a start.

I've had no problems with poor quality scanned photos. The default is set to 300dpi, have you tried increasing it to 600dpi? That's what I always use and that works for me. I believe the max is 1200dpi. You may want to play around with that setting and see. Also don't be fooled by the scan preview, it's not an exact representation of what the scanned photo/doc will look. Hope that helps.

The scan settings range from 200 to 1200 DPI in color of B&W; scan mode. I normally use between 200 and 400 DPI and find the quality to be OK. 1200 DPI would be under 0.001" resolution.

There's no scanning "tray" to scan documents succession. I'm unsure of the windows 8 compatibility; however, I would not be hesitant to say that the included software and drivers would allow configuration with Windows 8.

I have several scanners, but from what I remember about this particular one, I don't believe so. The one that I do have that says it does negatives makes the picture a very odd color. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I have had the same problem on a few of the photos I have scanned in. I clean the scanner and also try changing the orientation of the picture that I'm scanning in. Somehow, there is no line after this. Good luck!

Thanks SO much, Liberty! I've been trying to find a scanner to preserve old photos digitally, but several are larger than 8.5x11", i.e. 11x14", so I need a bit larger glass to fit them. I expected this to be easy...not so! My old scanner is that big, but it only plugs into an old-style desktop computer, not USB2 laptop, and now I am wondering if I can find a plug adapter so I can use the old scanner for the big photos. Likely the scanner software won't recognize XP!

You have to go to the printer settings and select print in grayscale or black only. There's a setting to do that in the printer settings under preferences. If you need additional help, visit Hp.com support and type in the printer model and find the manual or you can call and ask HP also.

There is software of course -- such as www.sdrsharp.com. The core software does not offer scanning; however others made that option available (use Google to find these). I tried the scanner version and didn't like it; but didn't spend any time looking past the first offering that the search engine produced.

Yes, but I think you have to go into settings & just select "gray scale" if I remember right

I have not found a way to do it or an accessory to buy. If anyone has had any success, please post it. I would very much like to scan my negatives. Thanks.

Yes, just check in the properties part to print in "grayscale". That is what I do. And you could have a box to pop up telling you there is not color and ask you about printing in black and white. Just answer "yes".

Black and white and grayscale. If you try to scan in color, Adobe Acrobat Pro program crashes.

Yes. On top of scanner is a button that says C/BW and shows up on the scanner screen as color. Mono for black and white. Push the button for which one you want.

Yes, it will scan in color. It will save in either jpeg or pdf format. Don't know what you want to do with it in OCR.
