Scanning
ADF
Scanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple-page
documents.
Note:
The ADF is available only on
select models. If you purchased a
printer without an ADF, then load
original documents or photos on the
scanner glass.
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards
or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as
magazine clippings).
Tips for scanning
•
When using the ADF, adjust the ADF paper guide to the width of the original document.
•
When using the scanner glass, close the scanner lid to avoid dark edges on the scanned image.
•
Do
not
load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as
magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.
•
Select the PDF file type if you want to scan multiple pages and save them as one file.
•
To initiate network scanning from the printer, make sure that “Enable network scan to computer” is
selected in the General tab of the Scan Center. This is available only in Mac OS X version 10.6.
