Completing the final scan

When you finish making changes, you need to complete the final scan by doing one of these tasks:

￿

"Sending to a program" on page 61.

￿

"Returning the image to a TWAIN program" on page 62.

￿

"Saving to a file" on page 62.

￿

"Printing" on page 64.

￿

"Placing a scan on a website" on page 64.

￿

"Setting the scanned image as wallpaper" on page 65.

￿

"Copying and pasting into another program" on page 65.

￿

"Dragging-and-dropping into another program" on page 65.

￿

"Dragging-and-dropping to the Windows Desktop or a folder" on

 

page 66.

￿

"Scanning to CD" on page 66.

When you do any of these procedures, the scanner performs a final scan including your changes before sending it to the program or printer you choose, copying the image, or completing any other function.

Images are not automatically saved as files if you print them, send them to a another program, or copy and paste them into a file in another program. To use the scanned image again, be sure to save it. See "Saving to a file" on page 62.

Sending to a program

Once you finish viewing and changing the scanned image, you can perform a final scan and send it directly to a program such as e-mail. If the program you want is not available, save the image as a file and insert it into the destination program as you normally would.

Tip If you send text to Word or another word-processing program and the text appears inside a frame you do not want, double-click the frame border and click Remove Frame or a similar command in the word- processing program. To prevent this from happening in the future, see "Setting preferences" on page 68.

To send to a program

1Do one of the following:

￿

On the Scan menu, click Scan To.

 

￿

On the toolbar or the Guided Steps (if visible), click

.

2Choose a program from the list and click Scan.

3If the program you select accepts multipage files, you might be asked if you have more pages to scan to this file. Do one of the following:

￿

If this is a one-page item, click Done.

￿

If there are more pages of this item, load the next page in the

 

scanner and click Scan on the computer. Repeat until all pages

 

are scanned. Then, click Done.

The destination program opens and displays the scanned image.
