About Scanning Images

You can scan images from the machine into a computer, and save them in JPEG, TIFF, or Bitmap
format. Then you can process that data by using the supplied application software to create original
images. Furthermore, you can use the supplied OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to
convert scanned paper documents to text data.

Are the necessary software (MP Drivers and MP Navigator) installed?
If the software is not yet installed, refer to the Easy Setup Instructions.
Does the document to be scanned meet the requirements for an original to set on the Platen
