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 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.

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.

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

•If WIA driver is installed, the flatbed can operate as a stand-alone unit without a Canon DR-series scanner connected. In that case, however, there are limitations on the functions available comparing with the usual scanning using the ISIS/TWAIN driver.

•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.

•When the conditions for scanning require a large amount of the computer’s memory, scanning may not be possible if the memory is insufficient. If a memory error appears during scanning, exit the application and change the scanning conditions before attempting to scan again.

Supported Functions

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