8 Scanning

Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital files that can be stored on your computer. Then you can email the files, upload them to your website, or use them to create projects that you can print.

This chapter includes:

•Scanning basics

•Scanning to an application using a local connection

•Scanning using a network connection (CLX-2160N only)

•Changing the settings for each scan job

•Changing the default scan settings

Note

The maximum resolution that can be achieved depends upon various factors, including computer speed, available disk space, memory, the size of the image being scanned, and bit depth settings. Thus, depending on your system and what you are scanning, you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions, especially using enhanced resolution.

Scanning basics

Your machine offers the following ways to scan an image using a local connection:

•Via one of the preset imaging applications. Scanning an image launches the selected application, enabling you to control the scanning process. See the next section.

•Via the SmarThru™ program supplied with your machine. Scanning an image launches SmarThru™ and enables you to control the scanning process. See the Software Section.

•Via the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver. See the Software Section.

•To a portable USB memory device, if inserted into the USB memory port on your machine. See page 9.2.

Also, you can send scanned images to several destinations using a network connection:

•To your networked computer via the Network Scan program. You can scan an image from the machine, if network-connected, to the computer where the Network Scan program is running. (CLX-2160N only)
