Scanning Process with TWAIN-
enabled Software
If you want to scan documents using other software, you will
need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
. The first time you scan with your machine, select
it as your TWAIN source in the application you use.
The basic scanning process involves a number of steps:
1
Ensure that your printer and computer are turned on and
properly connected to each other.
2
Place a single document face down on the document glass.
OR load the document(s) face up into the ADF (or DADF).
3
Open an application, such as Photoshop.
4
Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options.
5
Scan and save your scanned image.
N
OTE
: You need to follow the program’s instructions for
acquiring an image. See the user’s guide of the application.
Scanning Using the WIA Driver
Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition
(WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is one of the standard
components provided by Microsoft
®
Windows
®
XP and works
with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the
WIA driver allows you to scan and easily manipulate images
without using additional software.
