7. Scanning
The machine can be used to scan documents to your computer. Both color
and black and white scanning are possible. You can either begin scanning
from a TWAIN- or WIA-compliant software program, or from the operation
panel of the machine.
i To use the machine as a scanner, the machine must be connected to your
computer with a USB cable, and the scanner driver and utility software
(Sharpdesk) must be installed on your computer (see page 23).
i Depending on your system and the application being used, it may take
considerable time for an image scanned at high resolution to appear on
your monitor. During this time your computer will not respond.
Scanning From a TWAIN Application
You can scan a document into Sharpdesk or any other TWAIN-compliant
software program.
i The machine does not need to be in scan mode to scan a document from a
TWAIN application.
