• Scan and send the scanned document to a computer connected to a network using WSD
See "Scanning from the Operator Panel - WSD Scan."
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Type
Documents
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text
Photographs and pictures
Images for an inkjet printer
Images for a high-resolution printer
Scanning above these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
PaperPort
PaperPort that comes bundled with this printer can be used to manage all your documents. You can organize, search,
and share all of your scanned documents.
NOTE:
PaperPort is supported only on Windows.
NOTE:
You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to copy text from scanned documents so
that you can use and edit the text in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process requires
textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is recommended for graphics.
If you prefer to use another application, such as Adobe Photoshop, you must assign the application to the printer by
selecting it from the list of available applications through the Select Software button each time you start scanning. If
you do not assign an application to the Select Software button, PaperPort is automatically selected when you start
scanning. See "Printer Utility Software."
Dell ScanCenter
Dell ScanCenter is a PaperPort application that enables you to scan items and send them directly to PaperPort or
other programs on your computer without first running PaperPort. Dell ScanCenter runs as a separate application
from the Windows start menu and displays the Dell ScanCenter bar. For more information about using Dell
ScanCenter, refer to the PaperPort's Help menu.
Icons on the Dell ScanCenter bar represent the programs that are limited to PaperPort and to Dell ScanCenter. To
scan and send an item to a program, click the program icon and then scan the item. Dell ScanCenter automatically
starts the selected program when the scan is complete.
