To scan in higher quality
- The feeder may not be able to scan images clearly. It is recommended to place a document on the platen glass and scan it.
There are the following four scanning methods.
Scanning with Keys on the Operation Panel
Scanning is performed using keys on the operation panel. This allows you to scan easily using the existing settings.
Scanning with the MF Toolbox
Scanning is performed by operating the supplied software. This allows you to scan according to your purpose with the detailed settings.
Scanning an Image from an Application
Scanning is performed using your application. This allows you to open the scanned data as is in your application.
Scanning with the WIA Driver
Scanning is performed using the driver system supplied with Windows operating systems. For details, see the "e-Manual" (HTML manual) in the CD-ROM supplied with the machine.
