Note When the dual function board is installed Before using the machine in USB 2.0 High-speed mode, be sure to read "USB2.0 MODE" and "System requirements for USB 2.0 (Hi-Speed mode)" in the "Key operator's guide". SCANNING OVERVIEW The flow chart shown below provides an overview of scanning.
SCANNING FROM A TWAIN-COMPLIANT APPLICATION The SHARP scanner driver is compatible with the TWAIN standard, allowing it to be used with a variety of TWAIN-compliant applications. The procedure for scanning from some applications may differ in places from the procedure below. For more information, refer to the manual or the help file of your application. 1 Place the original(s) that you wish to scan on the document glass or in the SPF. 5 For information on placing an original for scanning, see "4.
SCAN 7 Specify the scanning area and select the scan preferences. For information on specifying the scan area and selecting the scan preferences, see scanner driver Help. ☞SCANNER DRIVER SETTINGS (page 18) Caution 8 • Scanning a large area at high resolution results in a large quantity of data and a prolonged scanning time. When selecting the scan preferences, lower the resolution or specify a suitable scanning area.
SCAN SCANNER DRIVER SETTINGS The scanner driver setup screen consists of the "Set-up screen", which lets you select scan settings, and the "Preview screen", which shows the scanned image. For details on the scan settings, click the [Help] button in the preview screen to display Help. Set-up Screen (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (1) "Scanning Position" menu ("Scanning Source" in some regions) Select the location where the original is placed.
