Scanning Process with TWAIN- enabled Software

If you want to scan documents using other software, you will need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe Photoshop. The first time you scan with your machine, select it as your TWAIN source in the application you use.

The basic scanning process involves a number of steps:

1Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on and properly connected to each other.

2Load the document(s) face up into the DADF (or ADF).

OR

Place a single document face down on the document glass.

3Open an application, such as Photoshop.

4Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options.

5Scan and save your scanned image.

NOTE: You need to follow the program’s instructions for acquiring an image. Please refer to the user’s guide of the application.
