You can install the scanner driver on your computer from the CD-ROM that accompanies the machine, and use a 
TWAIN

*

 compliant application to execute scanning from your computer.

Scanning from your computer is most useful for scanning a single original such as a photo, particularly when you want to 
adjust scan settings as you scan. By contrast, scanning at the machine is most useful for continuous scanning of 
multiple originals.
* An interface standard used for scanners and other image input devices. When the scanner driver is installed on your 

computer, you can use any TWAIN-compliant application to scan an image.

As an example, the procedure for scanning from the "Sharpdesk" application that accompanies the machine is 
explained below.

• Scanning in PC scan mode is only possible when the scanner driver has been installed from the "Software CD-ROM"

Software Setup Guide.

(administrator).

• The procedures for selecting the scanner driver and starting scanning vary depending on the TWAIN-compliant 

application. For more information, see the manual for the application or Help.

• When a large image is scanned at high resolution, the amount of data will be very large and scanning will take a long time. 

Be sure to select appropriate scan settings for the original (text, photo, etc.).

Place the original face up in the document feeder tray, or face 
down on the document glass.

When PC scan mode is selected, only the [Exit] key displayed in the touch panel can be used on the machine; no 
other keys can be used.
