How to Perform a Basic Scan

This section explains how to perform a basic scan.

ATTENTION

Depending on the connection method of the scanner, use only the USB cable to connect to a computer or use only a LAN cable to connect to a network device. Do not use both cables at the same time.

HINT

When scanning with the scanner connected to a network, because the image transfer speed is prioritized, the image quality is lower than when scanning with the scanner connected via a USB cable.

In the scanner driver, you can set the image quality to the same level as the level that is set when scanning with the scanner connected via a USB cable. For details, refer to the help for the scanner driver.
