I've got an HP LaserJet M1522nf and can't figure out if there is a way
to change the default scanner settings.

The one in particular I need to set is for the brightness. For some
reason I have to adjust the brightness every time I scan or the
document is so light I can barely read it.

I do not have the HP software installed, just the basic drivers needed
for printing/scanning/faxing.

Mostly I just use the Scanner/Camera Wizard, the Microsoft Office
Document Scanner program or scan into Adobe Acrobat (use the WIA
option , not TWAIN).

Thanks!

What do you mean, you do not have the HP software installed?

You must have at a minimum the Twain Driver installed.

If you do have or will install the HP Twain driver, you can use Irfanview
Viewer as a Twain Scanner interface.


http://www.irfanview.com/

You need to install the Irfanview Plug-in also

In the HP Twain Driver you can use a "Pro" mode or Advanced Mode to set
the parameters for scanning.

Much more control over the scan parameters.

In Irfanview on the file menu, select source first, then scan/acquire.
Once the source is selected, you do not have to do that step again,
unless you change scanner.

Have you changed the toner recently?

or is this showing in the scan preview?
