Scanning Images

You can scan images from the machine to a computer without printing them and save them in
popular file formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, bitmaps, or PDF. If you are scanning printed text, you can
use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert it to text data.

Scanning Methods
