Basic Scanning Operation (Macintosh)

Capturing image data into MP Navigator

Load documents like photographs and magazines on the platen glass for scanning.

2. Place the document face-down on the platen glass. Align the upper left corner of your document with the alignment mark on the lower right corner of the Platen Glass.
   
   
   
   
3. In the Applications folder on the hard disk that you have installed the printer driver on, double-click the 'MP Navigator 1.1' icon. MP Navigator opens.
   
   
   
   
4. Click 'Scan Photo/Document'.

Scanning an image from an application:

1. Lift the Document Cover.
   
   
2. Place the document face-down on the platen glass. Align the upper left corner of your document with the alignment mark on the lower right corner of the Platen Glass.
   
   
   
   
3. In the application, select the command to scan a document (example 'Import').
   
   
4. If necessary, in the scanner driver dialog box, preview the scan and make adjustments.
   
   
5. Click 'Scan'.
   
   
6. When scanning is completed, the scanned image will appear in the application's display area.
