Scanning
Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into
digital files on your computer. Then you can fax or e-mail the
files, display them on your web site or use them to create
projects that you can print using SmarThru software or the WIA
driver.
This chapter includes:
• Scanning Using SmarThru
• Scanning Process with TWAIN-enabled Software
• Scanning Using the WIA Driver
N OTES :
• Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible
with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility
section of Printer Specifications in your Printer User’s
Guide.
• You can check your printer name in the supplied CD-
ROM.
• 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 dpi.
