Canon MultiPASSTM C50 Scanning Documents, Types of Documents You Can Scan, Quantity, Thickness

Scanning Documents

The ®rst step in scanning a document is to load the document into the MultiPASS C50's Automatic Document Feeder (ADF). You can then use the MultiPASS Desktop Manager to scan documents and save the scanned images as .TIF, .BMP,

.PCX, or .DCX ®les. The MultiPASS C50 can also scan documents directly into any Windows application with a TWAIN-compatible interface.

Once you have scanned the document, you can use the Desktop Manager to view the document on your PC's monitor, as well as save, rotate, print, or copy it to the PC's clipboard. You can also process the scanned image using applications such as Adobe PageMakerH, Adobe PhotoshopH, Zsoft PhotoFinishTM, and Caere WordScanTM.

This chapter describes the types of documents you can scan and how to load the documents for scanning. For instructions on faxing a scanned document, see Chapter 4, ºSending Faxes.º For instructions on using the MultiPASS Desktop Manager to scan documents, see the MultiPASS Desktop Manager User's Guide.
