Use the Scan Features
Scanning is the process of converting documents and pictures into an electronic
format for your computer. You can scan just about anything:
• Text documents
• Photos
• Magazine articles
• 3D objects (be careful not to scratch the glass) to put into catalogs and
flyers
Because the scanned image is in an electronic format, you can load it into your
graphics program and modify it to suit your needs. You can do the following:
• Scan a logo and use it in your publishing software, allowing you to print
business cards and brochures for yourself.
• Scan photos and e-mail them to co-workers and friends, create a
photographic inventory of your office or home, or create an electronic
scrapbook.
Note: To use the scan features, your unit and computer must be
connected and turned on. The software must also be installed and
running on your computer prior to scanning. To verify that the
software is running, look for a status icon in the system tray.
For more information about scanning your documents or pictures from the
software, see the Photo & Imaging Help.
