7 Scanning
Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital
files that can be stored on your computer. Then you can email the files,
upload them to your website, or use them to create projects that you can
print.
This chapter includes:
• Scanning basics
• Scanning to an application using a local connection
• Changing the settings for each scan job
• Changing the default scan settings
Scanning basics
Your machine offers the following ways to scan an image using a local
connection:
• Via one of the preset imaging applications. Scanning an image
launches the selected application, enabling you to control the
scanning process. See the next section.
• Via the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver. See the Software
section.
• To a portable USB memory device, if inserted into the USB memory
port on your machine. See page 8.2.
Tip
The maximum resolution that can be achieved depends upon
various factors, including computer speed, available disk space,
memory, the size of the image being scanned, and bit depth
settings. Thus, depending on your system and what you are
scanning, you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions,
especially using enhanced resolution.
Scanning to an application using a local
connection
1 Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on and
properly connected to each other.
2 Place a single original face down on the scanner glass.
For details about loading an original, see page 4.1.

Documnet, OCR or Adobe Photoshop, from the Printer
Settings Utility. See the Software section.
