BASIC SCANNING PROCEDURE
You can install the scanner driver on your computer
and use a TWAIN* compliant application
to scan an image using your computer.
Scanning from your computer is most useful for scanning a
single original such as a photo, particularly when you want to adjust
scan settings as you scan. By contrast, scanning at the machine
is most useful for continuous scanning of multiple originals.
* An interface standard used for
scanners and other image input devices. When the scanner driver
is installed on your computer, you can use any TWAIN-compliant application
to scan an image.
- For the procedures for installing
the scanner driver and configuring settings, see the Software Setup
Guide.
- This function cannot be used when it has
been disabled using "Disable Scan Function" in the system settings (administrator).
- The procedures for selecting the scanner
driver and starting scanning vary depending on the TWAIN-compliant application.
For more information, see the manual for the application or Help.
- When a large image is scanned at high resolution,
the amount of data will be very large and scanning will take a long
time. Be sure to select appropriate scan settings for the original
(text, photo, etc.).
