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 BASICS
Scanning with your machine lets you turn hard copy originals into digital
files.
There are two ways to scan originals, one is using the USB cable to directly
connect the machine with your computer, and the other is using the network
scan feature which scans and sends the document to a specific destination
via the network.
Scan and Fax Manager 2: You just walk to the machine with the
•
originals and scan them from the control panel. Then, the scanned data
will be stored in the connected computers My Documents folder. When
you install all the softwares in the supplied CD, the SScan and Fax
Manager 2 is also automatically installed on your computer. This feature
can be used via the local connection or the network connection. (See
"Using Scan and Fax Manager 2" on page 55.)

your computer must be connected directly to the machine with a USB
