Scanning Methods

When the flatbed scanner unit is connected to a scanner and computer, you can select one of the following methods to scan documents, based on the document type and intended purpose.

Flatbed	Feeder
Scanning	Scanning

Flatbed Scanning

You can use the flatbed to scan documents one sheet at a time, single page documents, or documents that cannot be scanned using the feeder.

When you place the document on the scanning glass and press the start button, the job functions supported by the flatbed or CaptureOnTouch starts, and document scanning begins automatically.

You can also use scanning applications such as CapturePerfect, to specify advanced scanning conditions before scanning.

Feeder Scanning

Use the feeder on a connected Canon DR-series scanner to perform operations such as multipage document scanning. When scanning with this method, the operations on the connected Canon DR-series scanner are the same as those during stand-alone use. For details on feeder scanning, refer to the User Manual of the connected Canon DR-series scanner.

Limitations

•To use the flatbed, you must install the software included on the provided setup disc. (See the Setup Guide page insert of this document.)

•The software that operates the connected Canon DR-series scanner (ISIS/TWAIN driver) must also be installed.

•The flatbed cannot operate as a stand-alone unit. A Canon DR-series scanner must be connected.

•Both the flatbed and the connected Canon DR-series scanner must be turned ON to scan using the flatbed. If the flatbed is turned ON but the Canon DR-series scanner is turned OFF, you cannot scan documents using the flatbed. However, you can scan documents using the Canon DR-series scanner while it is turned ON, even if the flatbed is turned OFF.

Supported Functions

To scan using the functions supported by the flatbed, the connected Canon DR-series scanner must also support the functions used.
