discussion
The HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 scanners include a wide range
of advanced technology to ensure quality, durability and usability.
CCD sensors
Unlike the dice of traditional CIS scanners, which create areas on the page
where the data is not scanned, the 4600 and 4670 use an overlapped die
design and a calibration routine that allow the scanners to scan every pixel
on the page rather than using estimated missing data.
Additionally, the 4600 and 4670 sensors have true linear 2400 dpi Red,
Green and Blue sensors, where each sensor reads a unique area for
increased sampling accuracy. Most traditional reduction optics scanners
use staggered pixel sensors, which read non-unique areas. The true linear
sensors used in the 4600 and 4670 can provide higher MTF readings
than staggered pixel sensors of the same resolution.
TWAIN drivers
TWAIN drivers enable cross-platform compatibility for imaging
professionals, allowing users to pull scanned images from the scanner into
custom or third-party software. (Button functionality on the scanner does
not apply when using TWAIN drivers.)
productivitycentered software
The software drivers and applications included with the HP Scanjet 4600
and 4670 scanners either interface or are compatible with common
software applications users employ in everyday document imaging or
document management.
Hi-Speed USB
connectivity
HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670 scanners come with Hi-Speed USB
(compatible with USB 2.0 specifications). USB allows plug-and-play
installation of peripheral devices to a PC.
carriage
In creating the HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670 scanners, special emphasis
was placed on finding the thinnest components possible for the illumination
system, in keeping with the thin folded optics path. This scanning
technology, compressed and folded optics typical in reduction optics, was
uniquely applied to the lens arrays used in these models. In integrating the
carriage into the scanner body, the layout was modified to most efficiently
fit the carriage into the thin scanner housing.
MTF performance
Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) measures a scanner’s ability to resolve
fine detail. The HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670 perform higher on this
measure than do typical reduction optic scanners. Higher performance is
primarily a result of the Gradient Index (GRIN) lens array incorporated into
10
the product’s design. This design produces higher MTF results with the row
of lenses that make up the lens. These individual lenses are positioned
across the width of the scanner and very close to the scanner platen
surface, greatly reducing some of the optical system aberrations found in a
typical scanner lens system.
image quality
enhancements
Unlike a CIS scanner, the 4600 and 4670’s CCD scanner chip-to-chip
correction is limited to averaging or extrapolation of pixel values in the
“dead” spots where individual sensor chip edges meet. The 4600 and
4670 have higher resolution and a more sophisticated, overlapped sensor
chip layout to eliminate the dead spots between sensor chips. The
individual sensor chip placement errors are measured and removed by
new correction techniques.
In addition, a software algorithm takes into account the nature of the GRIN
lens array; each portion of the scanned image is created by contributions
from multiple lens elements. When the scanned object is moved out of
focus, the scan image begins to break up into multiple echoes (that is,
multiple images not properly overlapped). The algorithm takes the echoes
and brings them back together so the image is properly integrated. This
algorithm improves the range of the depth of field making it acceptable for
transmissive scans without sacrificing MTF.
illumination
Compared to both typical LED-based CIS and reduction-optics scanners,
the technology present in the 4600 and 4670 combines optics and a Cold
Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) to deliver excellent sensor illumination.
This light becomes available for both speed and signal-to-noise ratio. The
results: fast operation and smooth colors.
quality
transmissive
scanning
HP Labs constructed an analytical model of the new and unique 4600 and
4670 carriage optical system. This model was used to optimize the
system’s usable depth of field.
Several means (completely automatic and “transparent” to the scanner
user) are employed to adjust the focus of the scanner whenever
transmissive scans are performed.
better color
reproduction/
separation
The HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670 use the color separation technology found
in high-end color flatbed scanners: CCFL lamps and customized on-chip
filters on the CCDs.
Other scanners use LED-based “flashing color” separation, which is neither
pure nor consistent. In addition, with LED systems, carriage motion
between the RGB flashes turns into color registration error. LED systems
also have a tendency toward “metamerism,” which means the scanner
“sees” a color differently than it is seen by people or other scanners,
11
resulting in inconsistencies in the color image.
durability
These scanners must withstand shock velocity levels up to 70% higher than
typical flatbed scanners.
The platen glass is specially chemically hardened and has a flatter surface
than standard platen glass, allowing more accurate scanning.
Polycarbonate is also used; this material is suitable for use in safety hard
hats, motorcycle helmets, and riot shields.
These scanners are built to be tough, with 12 screws evenly distributed
around the perimeter of the scanner. Rubber on the perimeter of the
scanner helps to prevent edge damage and rubber “feet” protect the
scanner exterior and glass.
The carriage has a special mechanical design focused exclusively to
protect the sensors and their wire bonds.
auto color
Automatically determines the optimal color balance and saturation for the
area of the photo selected.
restoration of
faded color
High-level image processing recovers the original color in old faded
images from both photos and transparencies.
auto exposure
Dynamic analysis of the specific image tonal response automatically
optimizes the full 48-bit image captured for the specific image.
auto cropping
Automatically finds the scanned item on the scanbed and draws a selection
rectangle around the photo (preview case) or sends the photo to the
destination (no-preview case). Sophisticated analysis algorithms have
been developed by HP Labs that provide the "most likely candidate" for the
object on the scanbed—even though the background may be "noisy."

why vertical
works in the HP
Scanjet 4670
•
•
•
•
•
•
While its vertical footprint takes up less desktop space, the HP Scanjet
4670 scanner is not completely vertical. Why? So that your
document can lay back and support itself rather than falling forward,
as occurs in some competitors’ models.
Gravity works to the user’s benefit, aligning the document along an
edge.
A document support ledge springs forward when the scanner is tilted
forward, so the wide ledge does not require precise placement. The
ledge closes off against the scanner (leaving no gap), so documents
stay put. The slightly tilted ledge directs paper into the correct
position.
The HP Scanjet 4670 scanner rests and supports itself in the open
position, meaning the user doesn’t need to hold it open with one hand
while placing documents with the other.
The weight of the scanner closes and presses on documents, keeping
them in place.
Bottom-opening operation means increasing space needed on your
desktop for the scanner. That’s why ours opens on top.
evaluation tips
This section describes some of the great features and functions of the
HP Scanjet 4600 and HP Scanjet 4670 scanners.
horizontal holder
(4600)
The horizontal holder is used to hold the scanner, position items to scan,
and provide a flat surface on which to scan. The holder is not required to
perform a scan.
To place the scanner in the horizontal holder:
1. Set the horizontal holder on a flat surface. Make sure the hinge in the
holder is rotated forward.
2. Lay the scanner on the holder, viewing side (light-colored frame) up, in
contact with the hinge. The scanner buttons face away from the
hinge. The cord exits the scanner next to the hinge.
3. Press the back of the scanner down until it clicks into place in the
hinge.
vertical holder
(4670)
To place the scanner in the vertical holder:
1. To ensure the holder is stable, make sure both legs are fully extended
prior to placing the scanner in the holder. Open the support legs by
rotating them into place:
a. Open the rear support first; make sure it clicks into the fully
open position.
b. Rotate the front support from behind the holder to the front of
the holder until it clicks into place.
2. Set the holder on a flat surface.
3. Place the scanner in the holder, so that the viewing side (light-colored
13
frame) faces you. The buttons are on the right side of the scanner. The
cord exits the scanner at the lower left.
4. To align the scanner on the holder, slide the scanner from side to side
in the holder until it is secured.

position the item
to scan
Because of the unique design of these scanners, this section describes how
to position different types of items within them.
Scanning side and viewing side. The scanner has two sides: the
scanning side and the viewing side. The scanning side has a dark-colored
frame around the glass, which always faces the item being scanned. The
viewing side has a light-colored frame around the glass, which shows the
HP logo and product name. While care should be taken to keep the
scanning side clean and fee of debris, fingerprints and dust on the viewing
side do not affect scanning quality.
Position the item face down. Large, bulky items are best scanned
face-down. When scanning an item face down, remove the scanner from
the holder and lay it on a flat surface, scanning side (dark-colored frame)
up. Then place the item (for example, a book) printed side down on the
glass.
TIP: The side with the dark-colored frame always faces the item being
scanned.
Position the item face up. When scanning an item face up, place the
scanner viewing side (light-colored frame) up on the item. Some examples:
• With the scanner in the holder, scan a single document or photo.
• With the scanner removed from the holder, scan a photo laying on a
desk.
15
•
•
With the scanner removed from the holder, scan an item that is larger
than the scanning glass.
With the scanner removed from the holder, scan a photo hanging on
the wall.
NOTE: When scanning items on a wall, the scanner must be used in
landscape orientation.
TIP: The scan area is the area visible through the glass, bordered by the
light-colored frame on the scanner.
Scan oversized items. If you have an item to scan that is larger than
the scanning glass, you can scan it in multiple sections, then connect the
sections with Panorama Maker software.
information about scanning procedures.
1. Remove the scanner from the holder:
a. If you have a horizontal holder, remove the scanner by pressing
down on one tab on the hinge and then lifting the scanner off
the holder.
b. If you have a vertical holder, remove the scanner by lifting it off
the holder.
2. Place the scanner with the viewing side (light-colored frame) up on the
item to scan. Place the scanner so you can see the upper left portion
of the item through the scanner, using the frame around the scanner
glass to position the item.
3. Press the SCAN button on the scanner.
4. In the dialog box that appears, select:
a. Picture if you are scanning a photograph or other artwork.
b. Document if you are scanning text or both text and graphics.
You must select No when asked Scan for Editable Text (OCR)?
5. Select Panorama Maker as the destination.
6. Click Scan in the dialog box. The item is scanned. NOTE: If you see
a preview dialog now, this procedure will not work as documented.
Turn preview off.
7. Align the scanner on the next section of the item. Overlap the sections
by at least 1.3 mm (1/2 inch). Press the SCAN button on the
scanner. Continue in this manner to scan each section of the item until
you are done.
8. When you have finished scanning the sections, click Done in the
dialog box on the computer screen.
9. Panorama Maker automatically starts. All the scanned sections are
sent to Panorama Maker.
16
10. In the Panorama Maker software, arrange the images in the correct
order and follow the on-screen instructions. See the Panorama Maker
Help for instructions.
11. If you scanned a text document and want to use optical character
recognition (OCR) to make the scanned document editable, then from
Panorama Maker, save the combined image as a TIFF file, and then
import the TIFF file into the ReadIris Pro software to perform OCR.
scanning slides
and negatives
With the HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670, you can use the transparent
materials adapter to scan 35 mm slides or negatives. The adapter is
included with the HP Scanjet 4670 scanner, and can be purchased
separately for the HP Scanjet 4600 scanner.
Tips for scanning transparent items:
To scan large transparent items, such as a presentation transparency,
place a white piece of paper in back of the transparency, and scan as
usual from the glass.
When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software
automatically enlarges the image to approximately 11x15 cm (4x6 in). If
you want the final image to be larger or smaller, use the Resize tool in the
scanner software to set the scaling to your desired final size; the scanner
will scan the item at the proper resolution and enlargement for the size you
choose.

To scan slides:
1. Remove the scanner from the holder and place it scanning side (darkcolored frame) up on a flat surface.
the holder.
b. If you have a vertical holder, remove the scanner by lifting it off
the holder.
2. Insert the slide into the transparent materials adapter:
a. Open the door of the adapter.
b. Place the slide on the adapter’s light window. The slide should
lay shiny side up, with the transparent portion seated on the
raised light window. The rectangular orientation of the slide
should match the orientation of the light window on the adapter.
c. Close the door of the adapter. NOTE: The viewing lamp on

conclusion
HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670 scanners allow users to capture images in
ways never before possible:
• Vertical scanning (4670)
• Variable orientation scanning for hard-to-capture items such as pictures
hanging on a wall or pages in thick books.
• See-thru scanning for accurate document placement
• Stitching capability for working with large-format documents
The result is the same high quality digital imaging customers have come to
expect from HP. And these models are easy to use, affordable, and
reliable. Plus, users get all the same great extras they get with all HP digital
imaging products: user-friendly software, easy ways to share images, fun
ways to create “digital photo albums,” slide shows, and more.
The HP Scanjet 4600 and 4670. Your new frame of reference.
