Scanning Overview
The printer provides several ways to scan your document. There are two main scanning
types. One is operated on the printer side without using the scanner driver, and the other
is operated on the computer side using a software and the scanner driver.
The following illustration shows overview for each scanning type.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how
you plan to use the image or document after you scan it to your computer. For the best
results, use these recommended settings.
Type Resolution
Documents 300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or
color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text 400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
