Basic Methods for Scanning Documents from a Networked Computer

With the Color Network ScanGear driver installed in your computer, you can remotely scan an original set on the machine and import the scanned image over the network to a TWAIN-compliant application*. (* See the notes below for more information on TWAIN-compliant applications.)

Before proceeding to the procedure below, see "," and make sure that all the setups are complete for scanning originals from a computer.

note:
  • Color Network ScanGear cannot be used as an independent application software. To use the Color Network ScanGear driver, a TWAIN-compliant application (such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint of Microsoft Office 2000 or later, etc.) is required. TWAIN is a technical standard for connecting a computer to an image capturing device, such as a scanner, digital camera, etc.
  • The Color Network ScanGear driver cannot store scanned images or convert them to PDF or other file formats. Store the imported images with the TWAIN-compliant application.
  • The Color Network ScanGear driver is a software used with the machine connected to a computer over the network. The software does not support USB connection.

1. Press (Main Menu).

2. Use [ ] , [ ] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Scan to Store>, then press [OK].

3. Use [ ] , [ ] or (Scroll Wheel) to select <Remote Scan>, then press [OK].

note:
  • When scanning originals remotely from a computer, you must switch the machine online.
  • If you want to continue scanning another original, keep the Use Remote Scan screen in step 4 displayed. If you change the screen, the machine will automatically go offline when scanning is complete or as soon as the preview image is displayed.
  • If you press (Main Menu) while the machine is online, the machine will automatically go offline.
