How HP Smart app scans
- • HP Smart can scan from a printer or from the phone camera and save as PDF.
- • Scanning software saves the scanner's page images into a PDF, sometimes with an OCR text layer.
- • Resolution and colour mode are whatever you chose in the scan settings.
- • Scans at 300 dpi in grayscale or colour give the best results; hidden OCR layers are detected and updated.
What changes on the page
- • Digits are redrawn in the line's own font, so the new date matches the numbers around it.
Questions people ask
+Can I use a different date format?
Yes, as long as the new date fits on the line. A longer date moves the rest of the line along.
+What if a word cannot be changed invisibly?
You get the exact reason, such as a stamp in the way or a font that could not be identified, instead of a smudged page.
