Using the Machine as a Scanner
There are two scanning methods: scanning from the computer (TWAIN scanning) and scanning using the
control panel.
Scanning from the computer
TWAIN scanning allows you to operate the machine from your computer and scan originals into your
computer directly.
TWAIN scanning can be performed using a TWAIN-compliant application.
TWAIN scanning is available with both USB and network connections.
Scanning using the control panel
Scanning using the control panel allows you to send scanned files via e-mail (Scan to E-mail), to an
FTP server (Scan to FTP), or to the shared folder of a computer on a network (Scan to Folder).
Scanning using the control panel is available with network connection only.
● The machine supports WIA scanning, an additional method of scanning originals from your computer, for USB connection.
WIA scanning is possible if your computer is running Windows operating system and a WIA-compatible application. For more
information, see the manual for your application.
