how to scan from the automatic
document feeder
This section explains how to use the automatic document feeder (ADF) for the
HP Scanjet 5590 scanner.
choose acceptable media for the ADF
The ADF works best when the originals meet the following specifications. If the
originals do not meet these criteria, scan from the scanner glass.
•
For one-sided scanning, you can use legal-size paper: 210 mm by
355.6 mm (8.5 by 14 inches).
•
For two-sided scanning, use A4-size or letter-size media. The ADF cannot
scan both sides of a document smaller than 127 mm by 127 mm (5 by
5inches) or larger than 210 mm by 304.8 mm (8.5 by 12 inches).
•
Custom-size media ranging from 88.9 mm by 127 mm (3.5 by 5 inches)
to 216 mm by 356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches) can be scanned with the one-
sided option.
Tip: To scan both sides of a legal-size document, 216 mm by
356 mm (8.5 by 14 inches), scan one side in the ADF, turn the
document over, and then scan the other side in the ADF.
•
Media weights from 60 to 90 grams per square meter (g/m
2
) (16 to
24 lbs).
•
Media that does not contain perforations or punch holes.
•
Media that does not contain wet glue, correction fluid, or ink.
Note: Avoid putting multipart forms, transparencies, magazine pages,
gum-backed pages, and lightweight paper in the ADF.
Before placing an original in the ADF, check for and remove curls, wrinkles,
staples, paperclips, and any other attached material.
load originals in the ADF
1
Place a stack of similarly sized documents face-up in the document input
tray, with the first page on top.
Load a document and center it in the ADF tray
2
Adjust the paper guides to center the stack.
3
Press a scanner button or use the HP Director to begin scanning. Follow
the instructions on the computer screen to finish scanning.

scan two-sided documents from the ADF
When you scan documents from the ADF, the What are you scanning? dialog
box appears. Select Yes, scan both sides for two-sided scanning.
The ADF is unable to scan both sides of documents longer than 12 inches. To
scan longer two-sided documents, you must set the ADF to scan only one side at
a time. To change this setting, clear the Yes, scan both sides option in the What
are you scanning? dialog box.
One-sided scanning is the default method for the ADF. To change this default to
two-sided scanning, open the HP Director, click Settings and then click Scan
Preferences. Click the Automatic tab, and then select the setting that you want
to assign as the default.
Note: Use A4- or letter-size media for two-sided scanning. The ADF cannot
scan both sides of a document smaller than 127 mm by 127 mm (5 by
5inches) or larger than 210 mm by 304.8 mm (8.5 by 12 inches).
If you are acquiring your scan from an imaging software program using
TWAIN, the Commercial Scanjet 5590 TWAIN software offers additional
capabilities for brightness and contrast, and improved performance and control
for two-sided scanning. For more information about installing the Commercial
Scanjet 5590 TWAIN software, see install the scanning software on page 1.
make copies from the ADF
You can use the Copy button (
) to scan multiple originals from the ADF and
send them to a printer. The copy function defaults to the setting used the last time
you made copies. For two-sided copies, open the HP Director, and then click
Make Copies. Select the Duplex option in the hp copying dialog box. For more
information, see print copies on page 5.

how to scan slides and negatives
This section contains information about setting up and using the transparent
materials adapter (TMA) to scan slides and negatives. You can use the TMA to
scan 35 mm slides or negatives.
tips for scanning transparent items
•
To scan items larger than those that the TMA accepts, place the
transparency on the scanner glass, place a white sheet of paper on top of
the transparency, and then scan as usual.
•
When scanning a 35 mm slide or negative, the scanner software
automatically enlarges the image to approximately 11 cm by 15 cm (4 by
6 inches). If you want the final image to be larger or smaller, use the
Resize tool in the scanner software to set the scaling to the final size that
you want. The scanner will scan the item at the proper resolution and
enlargement for the size that you select.
•
To scan 35 mm slides or negatives by using the TMA, press the S
CAN
P
ICTURE
button (
) on the front of the scanner, or click Scan Picture in

care and maintenance
This section presents information about how to care for and maintain the scanner.
Occasional cleaning of your scanner helps ensure optimal performance. The
amount of care necessary depends upon several factors, including the amount
of use, the type of media that is fed through the ADF, and the environment. You
should perform routine cleaning as necessary.
Routine cleaning and maintenance should include cleaning the scanner glass,
the TMA, and the ADF.
Caution! Avoid placing items that have sharp edges in the
scanner. Doing so can damage the scanner. Before placing an
item on the scanner glass, make sure that the item does not contain
wet glue, correction fluid, or other substances that can be
transferred to the glass.
clean the scanner glass
1
Disconnect the universal serial bus (USB) cable and power cable from the
scanner.
2
Clean the glass by using a soft, lint-free cloth that has been sprayed with a
mild glass cleaner, and dry the glass with a dry, soft, lint-free cloth.
Caution! Use only glass cleaner. Avoid abrasives, acetone,
benzene, and carbon tetrachloride, all of which can damage the
scanner glass. Avoid isopropyl alcohol because it can leave
streaks on the glass.
Do not spray the glass cleaner directly on the glass. If too much
glass cleaner is applied, the cleaner could run to the edges and
damage the scanner.
3
When you have finished, reconnect the USB cable and power cable to the
scanner.
Note: For instructions about how to clean the underside of the scanner
glass, visit www.hp.com/support.
