4 SCAN Scanning with the Samsung SCX-1150F lets you turn pictures and text into digital files on your computer. Then you can fax or e-mail the files, display them on your web site, or use them to create projects that you can print out using Samsung SmarThru software which came with your product.
Scanning Basics Your SCX-1150F offers three ways to start scanning. These include: • From the Samsung SmarThru software: Launch Samsung SmarThru and open the Scan Wizard to start scanning. Please refer to the SmarThru User’s Guide. • From the operation panel on your product: Use the Scan to button on the operation panel to initiate scanning. SmarThru system launches automatically and the Scan Wizard window opens on the desktop window.
2 Feed the document(s) to be copied face up into the ADF until “DOCUMENT READY” appears in the display. Or Place a single document on the document glass face down then close the cover. For details on loading original document(s), see page page 3.3. 3 Press Scan to on the operation panel. NOTE: If you press Scan to when the scan monitor on the desktop window is disabled or turned off (see page 4.2), “PC NOT AVAILABLE” appears on the display and you cannot achieve scanning. Scan 4.
4 The Samsung SmarThru launches automatically and the Scan Wizard window opens. The Scan Wizard lets you use the following services: • Scan Lets you scan the original documents and save them in the Image Manager of the Samsung SmarThru system. The Image Manager is an image database manager and image editor program. • Copy Lets you use your product to produce professional quality copies. You can adjust the image size and make advanced settings.
• Scan to OCR Lets you scan the original documents and pass them to the OCR program. OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is the process of converting a scanned image into text that you can edit in a word processing program. After you scan your document, the software processes or “recognises” it. Then you can edit it and either save the file or open it in any word processing program on your computer. 5 Click the desired service. 6 The Samsung Scan Manager for the selected service opens.
Scanning Process with TWAIN-enabled Software If you want to scan documents using another software, you will have to use TWAIN-compliant software such as Adobe PhotoDeluxe or Adobe Photoshop. The first time you scan with your SCX-1150F, you will need to select it as your TWAIN source on the application you will use. The basic scanning process involves a number of steps: • Placing your photograph or page on the document glass. • Opening an application (such as PhotoDeluxe or Photoshop).
5 FAX This chapter includes: • Sending a Fax • Receiving a Fax • Automatic Dialling • Advanced Fax • Additional Features
Sending a Fax Preparing Documents for Faxing Use the following guidelines to prepare your documents for faxing: • Do not attempt to feed the following types of documents into the Automatic Document Feeder: - carbon-paper or carbon-backed paper coated paper onion skin or thin paper wrinkled or creased paper curled or rolled paper torn paper • Remove all staples and paper clips before feeding the document.
Loading Document(s) You can use the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) or the document glass to load an original document for faxing. Your ADF can load up to 30 sheets at a time. Using the document glass, you can load one sheet at a time. 1 Feed the document(s) face up, with the top edge leading into the ADF. Adjust the document guides to the width of the document. Then gently feed it in until “DOCUMENT READY” appears in the display.
Adjusting Quality of Your Fax When setting typical text based documents, your product enables you to send documents that are very close to the quality of the original. However, if you send documents that are of poor quality, or contain photographs, you can adjust the following features to best suit the document. NOTE: After you adjust the resolution or the contrast, if no key is pressed for 2 minutes or if you press Cancel/Reset, the settings are automatically reset to their default status (see page page 5.
NOTES: • The SUPERFINE resolution is not activated when the document is required to pre-scan into memory before sending, for example, when the SEND FROM MEMORY feature is set to ON (see page 5.42) or when you use the advanced faxing (see page 5.28). The SUPERFINE resolution is automatically converted to the FINE resolution when the document is scanned into memory.
Setting Default Resolution and Contrast You can set the default contrast and resolution for outgoing faxes. The default setting is normally applied to items being faxed. If you want to use other Resolution and Contrast settings, you can only change the resolution and contrast for the fax job you are currently sending by pressing the Resolution or the Contrast button on the operation panel. 1 Press Setup. The display shows “1.SYSTEM SETUP” on the bottom line. 2 Press Enter.
Sending a Fax Automatically 1 Feed the document(s) to be faxed face up into the ADF until “DOCUMENT READY” appears in the display. Or Place a single document on the document glass face down then close the cover. For details on loading original documents, see page page 3.3. 2 You can adjust the resolution and the contrast to suit your fax needs. For details, see “Adjusting Quality of Your Fax” on page page 5.4. 3 Enter the number of the remote fax machine using the number keypad.
Confirming a Transmission When the last document has been sent successfully, the product beeps and returns to Standby mode. If something went wrong during your fax transmission, an error message appears on the display. For a listing of error messages and their meanings, see page 7.7. When you receive an error message, press Cancel/Reset to clear the message and resend the document. You can print out a confirmation report automatically each time sending is completed.
Sending a Fax Manually Manual sending allows you to talk to the other party before sending the document. This method is useful if the other party must manually set their fax machine to receive before they can receive a fax. For this mode, you need to have a telephone connected to your product (see page page 1.8). 1 Feed the document(s) to be faxed face up into the ADF until “DOCUMENT READY” appears in the display. Or Place a single document on the document glass face down then close the cover.
Redial The memory in your product retains the last 10 numbers called, and the last 30 numbers received, provided the CLI (Caller Line Identification) service is available.

Replace the photo cartridge with a black cartridge for receiving faxes. About Reception Modes Your product has four reception modes: • In FAX mode, the product answers an incoming call and immediately goes into receive mode.
• In DRPD mode, you can receive a call using the Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection (DRPD) feature. “Distinctive Ring” is a telephone company service which enables a user to use a single telephone line to answer several different telephone numbers. This mode is displayed when you have set up the distinctive ring pattern. For details on this feature, see page page 5.44. The current reception mode is displayed when your product is in Standby mode.
Receiving Automatically in FAX Mode Your product is preset to FAX mode at the factory. If you have changed the fax mode, take the following steps to receive faxes automatically: 1 Press Receive Mode until you see “FAX” on the bottom line. Then press Enter. 2 When you receive a call, the product answers the call on a specified number of rings and receives a fax automatically. To change the number of rings. See “Fax Setup Options” on page page 5.41.
NOTES: • If you have set your product to ANS/FAX mode and your answering machine is switched off, or no answering machine is connected to your product, your product will automatically go into FAX mode after 10 rings. • If your answering machine has a ‘user-selectable ring counter’, set your product to answer incoming calls within 1 ring.
Receiving Using DRPD Feature You can not set DRPD (Distinctive Ring Pattern Detection) as the receive mode using the Receive Mode button on the operation panel if you have not set up your product for use with the DRPD service and turned on the feature (see page page 5.44). When the receive mode is set to DRPD, if someone calls using the number assigned for telephone communication, your product rings in the pattern you registered for voice calls.
Using Fax Forwarding You can set your product to forward incoming faxes to another fax number during a specified time period. When the fax arrives at your product, it is stored in memory. Then, your product dials the fax number you have specified and sends the fax. If it cannot forward a fax after repeated attempts because of an error, such as the number being busy and redials failed, your product will print the fax.
