8

When you are ready to begin scanning, click the

"Scanning" button.

To cancel a scanning job after clicking the "Scanning" button, press the [Esc] key on your keyboard.

Caution

Scanning a large area in full colour at high resolution results in a large quantity of data and a prolonged scanning time. It is recommended that you set the scanning preferences according to the type of the original being scanned, i.e., Text, Text/Graphics, Photograph, Colour, or Black & White.

The scan resolution will vary depending on the scanning area and how much memory in the machine is free. For example, if an A4 original is scanned in full colour at 300 dpi with only the standard memory installed, the machine will scan the original in full colour at 150 dpi and the scanner driver will enhance the resolution to 300 dpi.

To scan an A3 original in full colour at 600 dpi without using enhancement, the dual function board and the 256 MB memory option are required.

When you close the scanner driver after scanning, the image data will appear as a new file in Sharpdesk, as shown below.
