Does anyone have a Scanjet 8300 - if so I'd like some help...

[UnboxingTreasures]

If anyone has a Scanjet 8300 please drop me a PM. I am having difficulty.

 

I can't figure out how to scan more than one picture at a time without the software closing. I'm importing through Photoshop with the scanner as a WIA device.

What do you mean scan more than one picture at a time?

I think he means he scans one in then the software closes.

Ah - sounds like a software bug then.

I've never scanned straight into Photoshop so I wouldn't know. Have you tried using the software that goes with the scanner?

[UnboxingTreasures]

I have. Basically I want to preview, align the scan border, and then scan 30-40 pictures using that same scan border.

 

Right now, I open the software (Not Photoshop, the HP software), preview and scan, but the settings don't save. Basically I have to preview and scan every time I scan something.

How about just scan full size then crop them in PS later?

Are you talking about having to reset the borders every time or the DPI setting, etc?

Borders.

Even doing it that way, I have to reopen the scanner software after every individual scan.

Borders.

 

That's just the way the software works on that model. I have to reset the borders every time I scan something. Rarely would it do it manually two books in a row

If you are using windows xp you can use the windows scanner program and everytime you are finish the scan you can hit the back button while retaining your custom border and custom colour settings.

I'm on Windows 7, actually.

Can't help you there. I have yet to buy a new scanner setup for my windows 7 machine since I have a working scanner on my winxp machine.

Did some googling and it sounds like Vuescan might be what you are looking for. A HP Scanjet 8300c is listed under supported scanners.
