Scanning
6Optionally, you can select the Preview button. This will perform a quick preview scan of your document. Once the preview is complete, you can move and size the dashed box to select the exact area of the document you wish to scan. You can make other adjustments to the scan settings at this time as well.
7If you performed a preview scan, remember to replace your original document back into the scanner feeder.
8 Push the Scan button on the TWAIN dialog to perform the scan.
Large scan areas and/or resolutions above 300 DPI require additional memory and disk space, and will take longer to process. To minimize this, use the Preview button first. Select only the area you need to scan, and don’t use a resolution above 300 DPI unless you require it.
Adjusting your scanner settings
When using your computer to scan documents, the scanner settings are controlled by the application you are using. If the application uses the TWAIN dialog, you can control the resolution, contrast, brightness, and more.
When scanning with the A4000 scan button, your scan settings are controlled by the A4000 settings utility. See “Using the settings utility” on page 11 for more information.

To perform a scan using the scan button on the A4000 control panel, complete the following steps:
1Place the document in the scanner feeder, as described in “Loading documents” on page 21.
2 Press the scan button.
3Select the Scan To destination. Press the options button to cycle through the available choices. For a full description of the scan destinations, see below.
