3-3 Performing Scanning
Once you have mounted the object of the machine, you can now perform scanning.
Before you start scanning, make sure the door is closed and turn on the machine.
Basic Scanning
This is the scanning that you perform first after mounting the scan object. The scanning data obtained by executing basic
scanning makes possible a wide variety of operations.
