7. Scanning

The machine can be used to scan documents to your computer. Both colour and black and white scanning are possible. You can either begin scanning from a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant software program, or from the operation panel of the machine.

To use the machine as a scanner, the machine must be connected to your computer with a USB cable, and the scanner driver and utility software (Sharpdesk and Button Manager) must be installed on your computer (see page 28).

Depending on your system and the application being used, it may take considerable time for an image scanned at high resolution to appear on your monitor. During this time your computer will not respond.

Scanning From a TWAIN Application

You can scan a document into Sharpdesk or any other TWAIN-compliant software program.

The machine does not need to be in scan mode to scan a document from a TWAIN application.

1Place the original on the document glass or in the auto document feeder.

Using the document glass:

Open the document glass cover and place the original face down on the glass with the top edge against the document guide.

Make sure the centre of the original is

aligned with the centre mark on the document guide, and then close the cover.

Important: Make sure the glass is clean. Any dirt, fingerprints, hair, or other debris may affect the quality of the scanned image.
