Performing a Scan with an Image Scanning Application (When Using the Scanner Connected to a Computer)

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)

  • 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 scanner driver and the image scanning application.

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

  1. Turn on the scanner.

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

  2. Confirm that the following main screen is displayed on the touch screen.

  3. Load a document in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    Load the document face-down in the ADF paper chute (feeder).

    Loading a Document

    For details, refer to How to Load Documents.

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

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

  6. Select the scanner to be used for scanning.

    The scanner name depends on the scanner driver type and the scanner connection method. For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.

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

    To use the scanner connected to a network, you need to select the scanner in Scanner Selection Tool beforehand.

    For details about how to start up Scanner Selection Tool, refer to How to Start Up Scanner Selection Tool.

  7. 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.

  8. Scan the document with the image scanning application.
ATTENTION

Do not perform any of the following operations.

Doing so stops a scan.

  • Disconnecting the USB cable

  • Disconnecting the LAN cable

  • Disconnecting the network

  • Logging off from the computer

When an image scanning application that allows jobs to be created, such as PaperStream Capture, is installed on a computer, if a job is associated with a function button of the scanner in the scanning application settings, the job name is displayed on the function button on the touch screen of the scanner.

When the scanning application on the computer is ready to scan a document, in some cases, it is possible to scan a document by pressing the [Scan] button of the scanner instead of operating the scanning application to scan a document.

In that case, even when the job name is displayed in place of the name of the function button (Scan Button) on the touch screen, scanning can be started from the image scanning application on the computer.
