Scanning an Image from an Application
You can scan an image from a TWAIN or WIA-compliant application and use the image in that application. The procedure to follow varies depending on the application. The following is only one example. For a detailed procedure, refer to the documentation for the application you are using.
- Place the document face-down on the platen glass.
- In the application, select the command to scan a document ([Import], [Acquire image], etc.).
- Select the scanner driver.
- To use ScanGear MP, select 'Canon MPxxx' (where xxx indicates your machine name).
- To use the WIA driver (in Windows XP only), select 'WIA-Canon MPxxx' (where xxx indicates your printer's model).
Note: To scan with the value previously set in [Adjust the quality of the scanned picture], select 'Custom Settings'.
- In ScanGear MP dialog box, click 'Simple Mode' tab.
- Preview the scan and make adjustments as required.
