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.

Scan and Fax Manager 2: You just walk to the machine with the

originals and scan them from the control panel. Then, the scanned data

will be stored in the connected computers My Documents folder. When

you install all the softwares in the supplied CD, the Scan and Fax

Manager 2 is also automatically installed on your computer. This feature

can be used via the local connection or the network connection. (See

"Using Scan and Fax Manager 2" on page 53.)

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.

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 51.)

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 55.)

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 55.)

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, Scan to PC 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 51.)

Scan to PC: Scans and sends the scanned output to the destination

with the Scan and Fax Manager 2 program. (See "Using Scan and

Fax Manager 2" on page 53.

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 55.)

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 21.)
