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
Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on
and properly connected to each other.
2
Load the document(s) face up into the DADF (or ADF).
OR
Place a single document face down on the document glass.
3
Open an application, such as Photoshop.
4
Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options.
5
Scan and save your scanned image.

Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition
(WIA) driver for scanning images. WIA is one of the standard
components provided by Microsoft

with digital cameras and scanners. Unlike the TWAIN driver, the
WIA driver allows you to scan and easily manipulate images
