8 Scanning
Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital files
that can be stored on your computer. Then you can fax or email the files,
upload them to your website, or use them to create projects that you can
print.
Scanning basics
Your machine offers the following ways to scan an image:
• Via one of the preset imaging applications. Scanning an image
launches the selected application, enabling you to control the
scanning process. See the next section.
• Via the SmarThru™ program supplied with your machine. Scanning
an image launches SmarThru™ and enables you to control the
scanning process.
• Via the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver. See the Software
Section.
