This chapter explains how to use the scanner functions.
SCANNING OVERVIEW
The flow chart shown below provides an overview of scanning.

To scan using the machine's operation panel, you must first install Button Manager and establish the appropriate settings
in the Control Panel. For details, see "SETTING UP BUTTON MANAGER" (p.24).

TWAIN is an international interface standard for scanners and other image acquisition devices. By installing a TWAIN
driver on your computer, you can scan and work with images using a variety of TWAIN-compliant applications.
*

WIA (Windows Imaging Acquisition) is a Windows function that allows a scanner, digital camera or other imaging device to
communicate with an image processing application. The WIA driver for this machine can only be used in Windows Vista/7/8.

WIA cannot be used on network function standard models and on models with the network expansion kit installed.
• Scanning is not possible when the front or side cover is opened for machine maintenance, or when a misfeed
occurs or the machine runs out of paper or toner, or when the drum cartridge reaches its replacement time.
• If an original misfeed occurs in the RSPF, scanning will not be possible until the misfed original is removed and
the RSPF is restored to a usable state.
