Canon L60 Overview of Scanning, Features of the ScanGear Window

Overview of Scanning

You can use the L60 to scan documents from the Desktop Manager, or from a TWAIN-compliant Windows application.

When you scan a document with the Desktop Manager, the ScanGear window displays. The available scan options enable you to set certain conditions for scanning. This chapter provides instructions on setting scan options with the ScanGear window.

When you scan a document with a Windows application, the application may or may not display the ScanGear window for setting scan options. If the ScanGear window is not displayed, refer to the documentation for the Windows application for instructions on setting scan options.

Typically when you scan a document using the ScanGear window, you scan a preview of the document. The preview image enables you to review the results of your scanned document and make any needed adjustments (for example, to size, tone, and so on). When you are satisfied with the adjustments, you then perform the final scan of the document. The system places the final image in the Desktop Manager or your Windows application.

Features of the ScanGear Window

The section provides an overview of the basics of the ScanGear window. Detailed instructions for using the various commands and components of the window are provided in later sections of this chapter.
