Scanning Methods
When the flatbed scanner unit is connected to a scanner and
computer, you can select one of the following methods to scan
documents, based on the document type and intended purpose.
Flatbed Scanning
You can use the flatbed to scan documents one sheet at a time, single
page documents, or documents that cannot be scanned using the
feeder.
Feeder Scanning
Use the feeder on a connected Canon DR-series scanner to perform
operations such as multipage document scanning. When scanning
with this method, the operations on the connected Canon DR-series
scanner are the same as those during stand-alone use. For details on
feeder scanning, refer to the User Manual of the connected Canon
DR-series scanner.
Limitations
• To use the flatbed, you must install the software included on the
provided setup disc.
• The software that operates the connected Canon DR-series scanner
(ISIS/TWAIN driver) must also be installed.
• If WIA driver is installed, the flatbed can operate as a stand-alone
unit without a Canon DR-series scanner connected. In that case,
however, there are limitations on the functions available comparing
with the usual scanning using the ISIS/TWAIN driver.
• Both the flatbed and the connected Canon DR-series scanner must
be turned ON to scan using the flatbed. If the flatbed is turned ON
but the Canon DR-series scanner is turned OFF, you cannot scan
documents using the flatbed. However, you can scan documents
using the Canon DR-series scanner while it is turned ON, even if the
flatbed is turned OFF.
• When the conditions for scanning require a large amount of the
computer’s memory, scanning may not be possible if the memory is
insufficient. If a memory error appears during scanning, exit the
application and change the scanning conditions before attempting to
scan again.
Supported Functions
To scan using the functions supported by the flatbed, the connected
Canon DR-series scanner must also support the functions used.
