Printing Or Scanning The Image; Selecting The Polarity - Canon Microfilm Scanner 800 Instructions Manual

Using the Scanner

Printing or Scanning the Image

In Reader Printer mode, the image projected on the scanner
screen can be printed directly to a FilePrint 400 printer
connected to the scanner. In Scanner mode, the image can
be downloaded as image data to a computer connected to
the scanner and then printed on a printer connected to the
computer.
The actual scan settings and the procedure for the scanning
mode differ depending on your application program. For
this reason, the descriptions given here cover only the
scanning modes that can be set from the scanner's opera-
tion panel.
Refer to the user manuals for your application software for
information on the scan settings and the procedure for
downloading the image.

manually.
