Scanning Methods
When the flatbed scanner unit is connected to a scanner and
computer, you can select one of the following methods to scan
documents, based on the document type and intended purpose.
Flatbed Scanning
You can use the flatbed to scan documents one sheet at a time, single
page documents, or documents that cannot be scanned using the
feeder.
Feeder Scanning
Use the feeder on a Canon document scanner connected to the
computer to perform operations such as multipage document
scanning. In such cases, the operations on the connected Canon
document scanner are the same as those during stand-alone use. For
details on feeder scanning, refer to the
User Manual
of the connected
Canon document scanner.
Limitations
• To use the flatbed, you must install the software included on the
provided setup disc. The software that operates the connected
Canon document scanner (ISIS/TWAIN driver) must also be
installed.
• If WIA driver is installed, the flatbed can operate as a stand-alone
unit without a Canon document scanner connected. In that case,
however, there are limitations on the functions available comparing
with the usual scanning using the ISIS/TWAIN driver.
• Both the flatbed and the connected Canon document scanner must be
turned ON to scan using the flatbed. If the flatbed is turned ON but the
Canon document scanner is turned OFF, you cannot scan documents
using the flatbed. However, you can scan documents using the Canon
document scanner while it is turned ON, even if the flatbed is turned
OFF.
• When the conditions for scanning require a large amount of the
computer’s memory, scanning may not be possible if the memory is
insufficient. If a memory error appears during scanning, exit the
application and change the scanning conditions before attempting to
scan again.
Supported Functions
To scan using the functions supported by the flatbed, the connected
Canon document scanner must also support the functions used.
