Scanning with the MultiPASS Toolbar

The MultiPASS Toolbar displays on the Windows desktop and enables you to scan a document or image, without opening a graphics application or the Desktop Manager.

The Scan to Fax, Scan to Mail, Scan Text, Scan Photo, and Custom buttons enable you to scan a document or image to a particular destination. For example, you may want to scan a document, and immediately send it as a fax or attach it to an e-mail message. To successfully scan to mail, your default e-mail application must be MAPI-compliant.

When the Toolbar is open, a minimized icon also appears on the Windows taskbar.

To scan with the Toolbar:

1. Place your document or image facedown in the automatic document feeder of your printer.

2. On the Windows desktop, on the MultiPASS Toolbar:

• Click 'Scan to Fax' to scan your document and automatically send it as a fax in the Desktop Manager.
  
• Click 'Scan to Mail' to scan your document and automatically attach it to a message in your e-mail application.
  
• Click 'Scan Text' to scan your document and automatically have it display in a text editor application (such as TextBridge).
  
• Click 'Scan Photo' to scan your document and automatically have it display in a graphic application (such as Canon Photo).
  
• Click 'Custom' to scan your document and automatically have it display in an application you assigned in the Toolbar settings (such as Microsoft Paint).

3. If the ScanGear window appears, set your scan options as desired and scan your document. These settings override any scan settings defined in the Toolbar. Click for ScanGear options

If the ScanGear window does not appear, skip to Step 4.

4. When the printer begins to scan the document, the MultiPASS Toolbar dialog box displays the progress of the scan activity.

Based on your Toolbar settings, a preview of the scanned image may appear in the Toolbar dialog box. When the scan is complete, click 'OK' to accept the image and continue to the destination for your scanned image. If you are dissatisfied with the image, click 'Cancel'.

If a preview image does not appear, the image is immediately sent to its destination.

5. When the scan is complete and, if necessary, the image is accepted, do one of the following:

• If you clicked Scan to Fax in Step 2:
  In the Send Fax dialog box, enter the appropriate information and send the fax.
  
• If you clicked Scan to Mail in Step 2:
  In the e-mail message window, enter the appropriate information and send the e-mail message.
  
• If you clicked Scan Text in Step 2:
  The image automatically appears in the associated text editor application.
  
• If you clicked Scan Photo in Step 2:
  The image automatically appears in the associated graphic application.
  
• If you clicked Custom in Step 2:
  The image automatically appears in the software application set up as the custom application in your Toolbar settings.
