SCANNING BASICS
Scanning with your machine lets you turn hard copy originals into digital
files.
There are two ways to scan originals, one is using the USB cable to directly
connect the machine with your computer, and the other is using the network
scan feature which scans and sends the document to a specific destination
via the network.
•
Network Scan: Sends the document to your networked computer via
the Network Scan program. You can scan an image from the machine if
it is connected to the network and send it to the computer where
Network Scan is running.
•
TWAIN: TWAIN is the one of preset imaging applications. Scanning an
image launches the selected application, enabling you to control the
scanning process. See Software section. This feature can be used via
the local connection or the network connection. See Software section.
• SmarThru Office: This feature is the accompanying
software for your machine. You can use this program to scan images or
documents, and this feature can be used via the local connection or the
network connection. See Software section.
•
WIA: WIA stands for Windows Images Acquisition. To use this feature
your computer must be connected directly to the machine with a USB
cable. See Software section.
•
Email: You can send the scanned image as an attachment to an email.
(See "Scanning originals and sending through email (Scan to Email)" on
page 49.)
•
FTP: You can scan an image and upload it to an FTP server. (See
"Scanning originals and sending via SMB/FTP (Scan to Server)" on
page 53.)
•
SMB: You can scan an image and send it to a shared folder on an SMB
server. (See "Scanning originals and sending via SMB/FTP (Scan to
Server)" on page 53.)
UNDERSTANDING THE SCAN SCREEN
To use the scanning feature, press Scan on the Main screen. If the screen
displays an other menu, press (
) to go to the Main screen.
Press Scan to Email, NetScan or Scan to Server.
•
Scan to Email: Scans and sends the scanned output to the
destination by email. (See "Scanning originals and sending through
email (Scan to Email)" on page 49.)
•
NetScan: Scans and sends the scanned output to the destination
with the Network Scan program. (See "Scanning originals and
sending via Network Scan Manager (NetScan)" on
page 51.)
•
Scan to Server: Scans and sends the scanned output to the
destination with SMB and FTP. (See "Scanning originals and
sending via SMB/FTP (Scan to Server)" on page 53.)
The maximum resolution that can be achieved depends upon various
factors, including computer speed, available disk space, memory, the
size of the image being scanned, and bit depth settings. Thus,
depending on your system and what you are scanning, you may not
be able to scan at certain resolutions, especially using enhanced
resolution.
If the message asking Auth. ID and Password, it means the network
administrator has set the authentication in SyncThru Web
Service.(See "Managing your machine from the website" on page 85.)
