1. Using the Scanner Function
Guide to the Scanner Function
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 per-
formed using a TWAIN-compliant
application, such as PageManager.
TWAIN scanning is available with
both USB and network connec-
tions.
❖ 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), to the
shared folder of a computer on a
network (Scan to Folder), or to a
USB flash disk (Scan to USB).
The Scan to E-mail, Scan to FTP,
and Scan to Folder functions are
available only through a network
connection. No network connec-
tion is required for the Scan to USB
function; you can send scanned
files directly to a USB flash disk in-
serted into the front of the ma-
chine.
Scanning from a computer
You can operate the machine from
your computer and scan originals
into your computer directly.
❖ Preparation for scanning from a com-
puter with USB connection
A Connect the machine to the
computer using a USB cable,
and install the scanner driver on
the computer.
For details about installing the
scanner driver, see the instruc-
tions provided on the driver
CD-ROM.
B

tion is not installed on the com-
puter, install PageManager.
For details, see the instructions
provided on the driver CD-
ROM.

puter with network connection

work.

net mask, and gateway address
using the control panel.
