BASIC SCANNING PROCEDURE
You can install the scanner driver on your computer
and use a TWAIN* compliant application
to scan an image using your computer.
Scanning from your computer is most useful for scanning a
single original such as a photo, particularly when you want to adjust
scan settings as you scan. By contrast, scanning at the machine
is most useful for continuous scanning of multiple originals.
An interface standard used for scanners
and other image input devices. When the scanner driver is installed
on your computer, you can use any TWAIN-compliant application to
scan an image.
- For the procedures for installing
the scanner driver and configuring settings, see the Software Setup
Guide.
- This function cannot be used when it has
been disabled using "Disable Scan Function" in the system settings (administrator).
- The procedures for selecting the scanner
driver and starting scanning vary depending on the TWAIN-compliant application.
For more information, see the manual for the application or Help.
- When a large image is scanned at high resolution,
the amount of data will be very large and scanning will take a long
time. Be sure to select appropriate scan settings for the original
(text, photo, etc.).
As an example, the procedure for scanning from the "Sharpdesk"
application is explained below.
