Scanning from an Application

NOTE
Before scanning, the scanner must be set to online from device control panel (see "Switching the Scanner Online and Offline"). If you use the Color Network ScanGear 2 driver with the WIA-TWAIN compatibility mode of the operating system, the existing UI of the operating system is displayed and the procedure differs.

Set the original in the scanner.

When scanning from the platen glass, place the original face down on the platen glass.

When scanning from the feeder, set the original in the feeder with the side you want to scan face up.

NOTE
After scanning from the feeder, if you intend to scan from the platen, be sure to open the feeder/platen cover completely when setting the original on the platen glass.

Run the application you want to scan from in the computer → run [Color Network ScanGear 2].

The Color Network ScanGear 2 driver starts and the [Color Network ScanGear 2] main window is displayed.

The method for running the WIA and TWAIN drivers varies from application to application. For details, refer to the manuals provided with each application.

NOTE
Depending on the TWAIN-compatible application you are using, when you select the scanner driver, both the TWAIN-compatible driver and WIA-compatible driver in WIA-TWAIN compatibility mode may be displayed with the same name.
