CHAPTER

This chapter briefly explains how to scan documents into your computer using the scanner driver included in the CD-ROM.

Before Scanning

Before scanning, software must be installed in your computer.

If not, please see "Install software," in the Set-Up Sheet or Chapter 1, "Installation," in the Software Guide.

Check if the scanner driver is installed in your computer by following this procedure.

1Open the [Scanners and Cameras] folder (Windows 98/Me/2000: the [Scanners and Cameras Properties] dialog box).

On Windows XP:

q Click [start] on the Windows task bar select [Control Panel] [Printers and Other Hardware] [Scanners and Cameras].

On Windows 98/Me/2000:

q Click [Start] on the Windows task bar select [Settings] [Control Panel] double click [Scanners and Cameras].

2Make sure there is the corresponding scanner driver name or icon.

Scanning Methods

There are two methods of scanning documents to your computer:

Using a TWAIN- or WIA- (Windows XP) compliant Windows application

Using [SCAN] on the operation panel of the machine

IMPORTANT

For better scanning quality, we recommend that you place documents on the platen glass. If you use the ADF, the scanned image might not be clear.

This section explains how to scan using [SCAN] on the operation panel of the machine. By pressing [SCAN] [Start] on the operation panel of the machine, you can scan documents to your computer.

1Place the document on the platen glass or load it in the ADF.

For details on how to place or load documents, see "Setting Up Documents," on p. 3-2.
