Scanning Overview - Canon MultiPASS C530 Software Manual

Scanning Overview

You can use the MultiPASS to scan documents from the Desktop Manager, or from any
TWAIN-compliant Windows application.
When you scan a document in the Desktop Manager, the ScanGear window displays, allowing
you to set certain scanning options and conditions. This chapter provides instructions on
setting scan options using the ScanGear window.
When you scan a document in a Windows application, the application may or may not display
the ScanGear window. If the ScanGear window is not displayed, refer to the documentation for
the Windows application you are working in for instructions on setting scan options.
Typically, when you scan a document using the ScanGear window, you first scan a preview of
the document. The preview image enables you to review the results of your scanned document
and make any necessary adjustments (for example, to size, tone, and so on). When you are
satisfied with the results, you then perform the final scan of the document. The system then
places the final image into the Desktop Manager or your Windows application.
