SCANNER FUNCTIONS
This chapter explains how to use the scanner functions.
SCANNING OVERVIEW
The flow chart shown below provides an overview of scanning.
*
1 To scan using the machines operation panel, you must first install Button Manager and establish the appropriate 
settings in the Control Panel. For details, see  SETTING UP BUTTON MANAGER in the Start Guide.
*
2 TWAIN is an international interfac e 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.
*
3 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 XP/Vista.
• Scan jobs received while the machine is copying or printing will be stored in memory. When the copy job is 
finished, the scan jobs will begin.
 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 SPF/RSPF, scanning will not be possible until the misfed original is removed  and the SPF/RSPF is restored to a usable state.Note
