How do I scan colored paper and still read print? HP Scanjet 8270

I am trying to scan forms that we have used. The problem is that the sheets are blue and yellow, and when we scan it, the paper comes out just a dark color without the typing/writing being legible. Please help!

First thing to try is just play with all the scan settings to see what gives you the best result - try changing resolutions, type of document, type of output document, contrast, brightness, type of scan. If this doesn't give you any better results, then one of the best ways to do this is to get some plastic sheet of the same or almost the same as the predominant colour on your forms (you can go one step further and make a multi coloured filter if you are feeling creative and your forms are all identical). The text jumps out of the page and most scanners will give you a good scan - just make sure the filter is not too thick/dark. Hope this helps :)

How to install a HP scanjet 8250 in windows 7 with full features like double side scans and searchable PDF creator.

The basic driver automatically installs with windows 7.
The basic driver lets you scan one page at a time and does not let you do advanced options like double side and creating searchable PDF's.
HP has a software package listed for the HP 8270 scanjet that works properly with the 8250 scanner. I would assume that any scanner in the 8200 series would work with this software.
For full scanning features, I installed the HP photoshop essentials and the HP solution center. Find the download here, on HP's web site.... http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=1118286&prodTypeId=15179&prodSeriesId=1118292&swLang=8&taskId=135&swEnvOID=4062
Click on the software link .."HP scanjet Full Feature Software and Driver"
After the install run the setup and follow the directions,
After the install, the front panel buttons on the scanner should now work. You should also be able to create PDF's(searchable) with the one touch of the scanner button.

Unless you get all of the paper particles out of the intake rollers and gears, you will have existing problems. The speed and motion is effected and there are tiny activation switches that tell the scanner light to make a pass and when to stop. If you cannot clean out left over debris then have a technician do it for you.

When scanning with the ADF all I get is a white page. I cannot find a solution. This is the second scanner I have had as I sent the first one back with the same problem. Maybe I am doing something wrong.
You could be feeding the paper upside down.
Try turning the sheets over and re-scan.
The paper travels into the scanner from the top and then onto the glass. This means the paper should start out with printing face up.

HP 8270 does not scan on windows Vista . Could not complete scan is the error message
Make sure you have the newest vista drivers located here - also, make sure that the scanner platen is travelling the full length of the scanner, it's not being hung up somewhere causing it to jam. Try to scan while the cover is open to watch the scanner head travel.

Pages scanned are backwards (read right to left and all letters are backwards...as if holding up to the light and trying to read from the backside)
Pls check if the 'mirror' option is on in the software setting. The scanner 'reads' normal way always.

Automatic Cropping...
Before turning off the autocrop feature, reset the software to the default setting. Then turn off the autocrop feature. Some scanning software need to be reset to the original default condition and accept software switches only then!
