Oscar's MiniScan

Oscar's MiniScan is a lightweight and easy-to-use software designed for handling images from the HP Photo Scanner 1000. This compact scanner works similarly to a USB drive, making it super convenient.

Simple Setup Process

The setup for Oscar's MiniScan is quick and straightforward. After just a few clicks, you're ready to start working with it immediately! You won't waste time figuring things out; everything you need is right there.

User-Friendly Interface

The main window of Oscar's MiniScan shows all its functions and customizable settings. It’s laid out in a way that makes it easy to find your way around and maximize its features.

Connecting Your Scanner

To get started, connect your HP Photo Scanner 1000 to your computer. Press the ‘Refresh’ button until you see the drive letter pop up, then select it from the drop-down menu. Easy peasy!

More Than Just One Scanner

You might think that Oscar's MiniScan only works with that specific scanner, but here’s a little surprise! During testing, we found that it can actually detect any USB drive connected to your PC. So if you have JPG pictures on any USB stick, it'll recognize them too—though this wasn't exactly planned!

Output Preferences Made Easy

This program lets you set where you want to save your photos. You can also rotate images by ninety degrees if needed. Plus, there's an ‘Auto-Crop’ feature for trimming down certain images quickly.

No Buttons Needed!

Once Oscar's MiniScan spots your device, it automatically starts copying photos from the scanner (or USB stick) to the folder you've selected—no buttons to press or confirmations needed! Just keep in mind that all imported files will be saved as numbered ‘Scan’ JPGs without options to rename them.

A Handy Tool Overall

In short, Oscar's MiniScan is a straightforward tool mainly for transferring pictures from the HP Photo Scanner 1000 to your PC. But remember, it also works well with removable memory drives!
