Scanning Overview; Features Of The Scangear Window - Canon MultiPASS L6000 Software Manual

Scanning Overview

You can use the MultiPASS printer to scan documents from the Desktop
Manager, or from any TWAIN-compliant Windows application.
When you scan a document in the Desktop Manager, the ScanGear
window displays, allowing you to set certain scanning options and
conditions. This chapter provides instructions on setting scan options
using the ScanGear window.
When you scan a document in a Windows application, the application
may or may not display the ScanGear window. If the ScanGear window
is not displayed, refer to the documentation for the Windows application
you are working in for instructions on setting scan options.
Typically, when you scan a document using the ScanGear window, you
first scan a preview of the document. The preview image enables you to
review the results of your scanned document and make any necessary
adjustments (for example, to size, tone, and so on). When you are
satisfied with the results, you then perform the final scan of the
document. The system then places the final image into the Desktop
Manager or your Windows application.
