Scanning FAQ

How can I improve the quality of a scan?

•Make sure your original documents are in good condition.

•Make sure the application that receives the scanned document is appropriate. For example, if you are scanning a photo to edit it, then make sure you choose a photo editing application to receive the scan. If you are scanning a document to edit the text, then make sure you choose an OCR application.

•Use a high resolution.

How do I scan in black and white?

Color is the default for all scans. To scan in black and white, press the Color/Black button on the printer control panel to switch from color to black and white.

Why am I being asked for a PIN?

PINs are a security measure used to restrict the scanned information from going into certain locations, or to keep what is being scanned from being seen or used by others. You may be prompted to enter a PIN if the network computer you are scanning to requires one.
