Chapter 4
Scanning
You can use the printer to scan documents by the following methods:
Using the MultiPASS Toolbar
The MultiPASS Toolbar (also referred to as the Toolbar) enables you
to scan a document or image into your PC. The appearance of the
Toolbar can change based on the settings (such as shown buttons and
size) you define for the Toolbar.
Using a TWAIN or WIA compliant Windows application
If you are using Windows 98/Me/2000, use ScanGear for MultiPASS,
the TWAIN-compliant driver. You cannot use a WIA-compliant
driver. If you are using Windows XP, you can use either the ScanGear
for MultiPASS or the WIA-compliant driver. On the MultiPASS
Toolbar, click on Settings and then choose which driver you would
like to use. Both drivers allow you to use a printer to scan documents
to a Windows application such as a PhotoShop, that supports a
TWAIN interface. Some applications allow multiple page scans,
while others do not. If you are unsure whether your Windows
application supports this feature, refer to the user documentation for
the application you are using.
When you scan a document, the system uses predefined settings that
determine the characteristics of your scanned image (such as the image
type and resolution), enabling you to begin scanning immediately.
However, you can change these settings as needed.
