Scanning Images - Canon PIXMA MP510 Quick Start Manual

Scanning Images

You can scan images from the machine to a computer without printing them and save them in
popular file formats, such as JPEG, TIFF, bitmaps, or PDF. If you are scanning printed text, you can
use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert it to text data.
Scanning Methods
Scanning Using the MP Navigator
Using MP Navigator, you can scan originals loaded on the Platen Glass and view images saved
on your computer or on a memory card. Scanned documents can be previewed and be easily
printed and edited according to your needs.
You can use the bundled software applications to edit or print the document you have scanned.
For detailed operations of the MP Navigator, refer to the Scanning Guide on-screen manual.
