 Scanning methods

There are three methods of scanning images to your computer:

Using the MP Toolbox



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

Using the [Scan] key on the operation panel

This section explains how to scan using the [Scan] key on the operation panel.

Using the [Scan] key on the operation panel

By pressing the [Scan] key on the machine, you can scan documents to your computer.

Pressing the [Scan] key has the same effect as clicking the [Save] key in the MP Toolbox.

1Load the document on the platen glass or ADF.

• For details on how to load documents, see p. 2-2.

2Press the [Scan] key on the operation panel.

The document will be scanned.

The MP Toolbox and the MP Toolbox settings dialog box will open but the document will

scan without you having to click [Scan].

Your document will be processed according to your settings.

When you use the [Scan] key for the first time, a folder with the scanning date will be

created in the [My Pictures] folder in the [My Documents] folder, and your document will

be saved in this folder. If there is no [My Pictures] folder, the folder with the scanning date

will be created in the [My Documents] folder and your document saved in this folder.
