SCANNING OVERVIEW

The flow chart shown below provides an overview of scanning.

settings in the Control Panel. For details, see "SETTING UP BUTTON MANAGER" in the Start Guide.

TWAIN is an international interface standard for scanners and other image acquisition devices. By installing a TWAIN
driver on your computer, you can scan and work with images using a variety of TWAIN-compliant applications.

WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition) is a Windows function that allows a scanner, digital camera or other imaging device to
communicate with an image processing application. The WIA driver for this machine can only be used in Windows XP/Vista.
• You must first connect to the machine using SC-Scan A to use the scanner functions. For details, see
"CONNECTING TO AND DISCONNECTING FROM THE SCANNER FUNCTION USING SC-Scan A" (p.46).
• Scan jobs received while the machine is copying or printing will be stored in memory. When the copy job is
finished, the scan jobs will begin.
• Scanning is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.
• If an original misfeed occurs in the RSPF, scanning will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and
the RSPF is restored to a usable state.
