Scanning Tips

driver dialog box. See the "Selecting the Scanning Interface" section for more information about the
dialog box.
• Make sure that your scanner is connected properly and switched on.
Consult your scanner documentation to ensure it is set up correctly. Be sure to install the software
provided with your scanner. Some scanner models must be switched on before you power up the
computer.
• Place your documents face down on the scanner, making sure they are properly adjusted. Skewed
images may be converted incorrectly.
• Printed documents are best scanned in grayscale at 300 dpi.
Conversion quality depends on the quality of the original document and scanning parameters. Poor
image quality may have an adverse effect on the quality of conversion. Be sure to select the
scanning parameters appropriate for your document.
