Trying to scan document on HP Deskjet F4200 all in one series. When scanning small document from TIFF Image this is scanning through as 25.5 MB so I am unable to send this as an attachement to an email as the document is to large. Tried to change settings to GREY/SLATE and TIFF Image (compressed) the document scanned as 8.5 MB but would not save as a file. I require this to send as an attachement to an email. Is this a simple configuration prboblem?? thankyou

You need OCR software installed in your PC

go to www.hp.com then type OCR application then download it in your pc

OCR Application File name: 23902_hpcom_OCR_120_003.exe [1/1, 54.84M]

Text Cannot Be Edited After It Is Scanned to a Word Processing Program
Issue After scanning into a word-processing program, the text in the original is not editable. Workaround The process of changing text from an image to editable text is called optical character recognition (OCR). Text should automatically be converted in the OCR process when the Send To destination is a word-processing program. If it does not, check the items in the following list:

• Select Editable Text as the image type in Scan Settings . In Windows XP, this setting is automatically selected if Scan Document is selected in the Director program.
• Scan at a resolution of at least 300 dots per inch (dpi) for correct OCR conversion. Check the default resolutions in the Scan Settings on the Resolution tab.
• If portions of the scan are cut off, turn off the Auto Crop feature in the Scan Settings on the Scanning tab by clicking to clear the check mark.
• Tables, text boxes, and spreadsheets might not be editable. The border around them makes the OCR program read them as images. Readiris OCR, which is included with the HP Officejet G and K series, can recognize these images. Instead of selecting the word-processing program in the Send To list, send the scan to Readiris. Use the Table Drawing tool on the right side of the window to change the type of image to a table, and then use the OCR. The text inside of the box should now be editable.
  NOTE: Handwritten messages might not be captured by the OCR process.

change the format before you scan the image

Loaded paper size and selected size don't match.

Select The format PDF and it wil lscan document in one file

Don't use the OmniPage software for scanning. OmniPage is an OCR (optical character recognition) program and is trying to convert the scan into a document compatible with a text editor (such as Microsoft Word). Use a graphics editing program, and use the option to 'Import' or 'Acquire' an image. Make sure that the LiDE 25 is specified as the scanner, and you should be linked to the scanner interface. Now when the scan is complete, it will be transferred to the graphics editor as an image, not a document.

The operators' manual will explain this procedure.If you don't have one HP's webite will have it

you must convert to text, most scans save as pdf or tiff (yours is most likely a tiff) choose save as... and change extension to .wrd or .doc

most likely missing twain driver. Is it USB?

I think u should try reinstalling the driver...

Grey as you know is different shades of black. Uncompressed TIF can store this information. Compressed TIFF is not designed for this. Compressed TIFF is for blck & white only. Try JPG option. JPG can compress Color & Grey. For pure black & white chose TIFF compression.
