Performing a Scan with an Image Scanning Application

This section explains about the basic flow of performing a scan using an image scanning application on the computer.

In this case, a scanner driver and an image scanning application that supports the scanner driver must be installed on the computer.

The following scanner driver and image scanning applications are bundled with the scanner:

  • Scanner driver

    • PaperStream IP driver

  • Image scanning application

    • PaperStream ClickScan

    • PaperStream Capture

    • PaperStream Capture Pro (EVALUATION)

HINT

  • For details about the scanner driver and image scanning applications, refer to Overview of the Bundled Software.

  • Scanning procedures, operations, and scan setting items slightly vary depending on the image scanning application and the scanner driver.

    For details, refer to the help for the image scanning application and the scanner driver.

  1. Turn on the scanner.

    For details, refer to How to Turn the Power ON.

  2. Insert a document into the return path opening or load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    For details, refer to How to Load Documents.

    • For the return path opening

      Face the front side (scanning side) of a document upwards and insert the top end of the document straight into the middle of the return path opening.

      When scanning an open booklet such as a passport, insert the side which has less pages into the middle of the return path opening.

  3. Start an image scanning application.
  4. Select a scanner driver to be used for scanning.

    For some image scanning applications, selection of a scanner driver may not be needed.

  5. Select a scanner.

    For some image scanning applications, selection of a scanner may not be needed.

  6. In the setup window for the scanner driver, configure the scan settings.

    For some image scanning applications, the setup window for the scanner driver may not appear.

  7. Scan documents with the image scanning application.
ATTENTION

  • Do not perform an operation to disconnect the connection between the scanner and the computer such as the following:

    • Disconnecting the USB cable

    • Logging off

  • Remove the scanned document from the return path opening. Not doing so may cause a paper jam in the scanner for any subsequent scans.

  • When the confirmation window for continuous scanning appears, perform either of the following operations:

    • Insert a document or load documents and press the [Scan/Stop] button to continue scanning.

    • Press the [Scan/Stop] button without any documents inserted or loaded in order to finish scanning.

  • If the orientation of the scanned image of the open booklet is incorrect, change the rotation setting in the scanner driver. For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.
