use the scan features
Scanning is the process of converting pictures and text into an electronic
format for your computer. You can scan just about anything:
• Photos
• Newspaper articles
• Text documents
Because the scanned image or text is in an electronic format, you can bring it
into your word processor or graphics program and modify it to suit your
needs. You can do the following:
• Scan photos of your kids and e-mail them to relatives, create a photographic
inventory of your house or office, or create an electronic scrapbook.
• Scan text from an article into your word processor and quote it in a report, saving
you a lot of retyping.
Note: Bright direct sunlight on your Lenovo M800/M810 Series, or halogen desk
lamps placed close to your Lenovo M800/M810 Series, may affect the quality of
scanned images.
Note: High resolution scanning (600 dpi or higher) requires a large amount hard
disk space. If there is not enough hard disk space available, your system may stall.
Tip: To use the scan features, your Lenovo M800/M810 Series and computer must
be connected and turned on. The Lenovo M800/M810 Series software must also
be installed and running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the
Lenovo M800/M810 Series software is running on Windows, look for a status icon
in the system tray.
