2. Using the Scanner Function TWAIN Scanner Client computers can use this machine as a network TWAIN scanner. Using direct USB connection, stand alone computers can also use this machine as a TWAIN scanner. Procedures for network scanning are the same as those for scanning via USB connection.
Using the Scanner Function Process Flow Scanning commands are sent to the machine (1.) via the TWAIN driver from a TWAIN-compliant application installed on the client (2.) or stand- alone (3.) computer. The machine (1.) scans the originals. Scanned data is edited and stored using the TWAIN-compliant application on the client (2.) or stand-alone (3.) computer.
Preparation for Using the TWAIN Scanner The following diagrams show the preparation required to use this machine as a TWAIN scanner. ❖ Network connection (Network TWAIN scanner) Install the TWAIN driver on a client computer. See p.48 “Installing the TWAIN Driver”. Connect the scanner and client computer with a cable.
Using the Scanner Function Installing the TWAIN Driver To use the scanner function, you must first install the TWAIN driver on the sup- plied CD-ROM. Quit all applications currently running. Insert the CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive. The driver installer starts. Select an interface language, and then click [OK].
Setting Originals The following explains the procedure for placing originals on the exposure glass and in the ARDF, and setting the scan area and orientation according to how you have set your originals. To correctly display the top/bottom orientation of the scanned original on a cli- ent computer, the placement of the original and the settings made on the control panel and scanner driver must match.
Page 56
Using the Scanner Function Placing on the Exposure Glass Originals that do not fit into the ARDF, such as sheets with glued-on parts, books, etc., can be placed directly on the exposure glass for scanning. For details about originals that you can place on the exposure glass, see Copy Reference.
Page 57
❖ When placing the original so that the top edge touches the top left of the expo- sure glass When using the machine as a network TWAIN scanner, this orientation is the standard setting for the TWAIN driver. This orientation is suitable for most originals.
Page 58
Using the Scanner Function ❖ When placing the originals so that the top edges touch the back of the ARDF ❖ When placing the top edges of the originals first When using the machine as a network TWAIN scanner, this orientation is the standard setting for the TWAIN driver.
Scanning Originals This section explains how to scan originals using the TWAIN scanner function. This procedure explains scanning originals using Imaging under Windows 2000. On the [Start] menu, point to [Program], point to [Product Name], and then click [Setting]. The TWAIN Driver dialog box appears. Select the connection method.
Using the Scanner Function Relationship between Resolution and File Size Resolution and scan area are inversely related. The higher the resolution is set, the smaller the area that can be scanned. Similarly, the larger the scan area, the lower the resolution that can be set. The relationship between scanning resolution and file size is shown below.
