Scanning Methods
There are two methods of scanning documents to your computer:
•Using a TWAIN- or WIA- (Windows XP) compliant Windows application
•Using [SCAN] on the operation panel of the machine
IMPORTANT
For better scanning quality for color documents, we recommend that you place 
documents on the platen glass. If you use the ADF, the scanned image might not be 
clear.
This section explains how to scan using [SCAN] on the operation panel of the 
machine. By pressing [SCAN] ➞ [B&W Start] or [Color Start] on the operation panel 
of the machine, you can scan documents to your computer.
1Place the document on the platen glass or load it in the ADF.
For details on how to place documents, see "Setting Up Documents," on p. 3-3.
2Press [SCAN] ➞ [B&W Start] or [Color Start] on the machine.
If you are asked to select the program to launch, select "MF Toolbox Ver4.7."
Scanning starts.
The MF Toolbox and the MF Toolbox settings dialog box will open, but the document 
will be scanned without pressing [Start].
The scanned document will be processed according to your settings.
When you use [Start] for the first time, a folder with the scanning date will be created in 
the [My Pictures] folder in the [My Documents] folder, and your document will be 
saved in this folder. If there is no [My Pictures] folder, the folder with the scanning date 
will be created in the [My Documents] folder and your document will be saved in this 
folder.
