Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital
files that can be stored on your computer. Then you can fax or email the
files, upload them to your website, or use them to create projects that
you can print.

Scanning basics
Your machine offers the following ways to scan an image using a local
connection:
• Via one of the preset imaging applications. Scanning an image
launches the selected application, enabling you to control the
scanning process. See the next section.
• Via the SmarThru™ program supplied with your machine. Scanning
an image launches SmarThru™ and enables you to control the
scanning process.
• Via the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver. See the Software
Section.
• To a portable USB memory device, if inserted into the USB memory
port on your machine. See page 11.2.
Also, you can send scanned images to several destinations using a
network connection:
• To your networked computer via the Network Scan program. You can
scan an image from the machine, if network-connected, to the
computer where the Network Scan program is running.
Note
• 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.
