8 Scanning Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital files on your computer. Then you can fax or e-mail the files, display them on your web site or use them to create projects that you can print using the WIA driver. This chapter includes: • Scanning Process with TWAIN-enabled Software • Scanning Using the WIA Driver NOTES: • Check the Operating System(s) that are compatible with your printer. Please refer to the OS Compatibility section of Printer Specifications in your Printer User Guide. • You can check your printer name in the supplied CDROM. • The maximum resolution that can be achieved depends upon various factors, including computer speed, available disk space, memory, the size of the image being scanned, and bit depth settings. Thus, depending on your system and what you are scanning, you may not be able to scan at certain resolutions, especially using enhanced dpi. Scanning Process with TWAINenabled Software If you want to scan documents using other software, you will need to use TWAIN-compliant software, such as Adobe Photoshop. The first time you scan with your machine, select it as your TWAIN source in the application you use. The basic scanning process involves a number of steps: 1 Make sure that your machine and computer are turned on and properly connected to each other. 2 Place a single document face down on the document glass. 3 Open an application, such as Photoshop. 4 Open the TWAIN window and set the scan options. 5 Scan and save your scanned image. NOTE: You need to follow the program's instructions for acquiring an image. Please refer to the user guide of the application. 27 Scanning Scanning Using the WIA Driver Your machine also supports the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver for scanning images.
