This chapter explains how to scan from a computer connected to the machine by a USB cable, and how to scan 
using the machine's operation panel.

The flow chart shown below provides an overview of scanning.

*1 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.

*2 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.

*3 To begin scanning using the machine's operation panel, settings must be configured in the Control Panel after Button Manager 

is installed. For more information, see "SETTING UP BUTTON MANAGER" in "1. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (THAT 
ACCOMPANIES THE MACHINE)" in the "Software setup guide".

The environment in which the machine's scanning function can be used is subject to certain limitations. For more 
information, see "1. INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE (THAT ACCOMPANIES THE MACHINE)" in the "Software 
setup guide".

☞For more information, see "4. COPY FUNCTIONS" in the "Operation manual (for general information and copier)".

☞

☞

The SHARP scanner driver is compatible with the TWAIN standard, allowing it to be used with a variety of 
TWAIN-compliant applications. The procedure for scanning from some applications may differ in places from the 
procedure below. For more information, refer to the manual or the help file of your application.

For information on placing an original for 
scanning, see "4. COPY FUNCTIONS" in the 
"Operation manual (for general information and 
copier)".

The scanner driver setup screen will appear.

☞

• If you placed a one-sided original in the SPF, 

select [SPF (Simplex)].

• If you placed a two-sided original in the RSPF, 

select [SPF (Duplex-Book)] or [SPF 
(Duplex-Tablet)].

The preview image will appear.

• If you are using Windows XP/Vista, you 

can also select [WIA-SHARP MX-xxxx] to 
scan using the WIA driver.
☞

• Depending on your system, [SHARP MFP 

TWAIN W 1.0 (32-32)] or [WIA-SHARP 
MX-xxxx 1.0 (32-32)] may appear in the 
above select source screen. 

• If you selected [SPF (Duplex-Book)] or 

[SPF (Duplex-Tablet)] from the "Scan 
Position" menu, select [Right edge is fed 
first] or [Top edge is fed first] for the 
orientation of the original.

• For original sizes for which two-sided 

scanning is possible, see "REVERSING 
SINGLE PASS FEEDER / SINGLE PASS 
FEEDER" in "3. PERIPHERAL DEVICES 
AND SUPPLIES" in the "Operation 
manual (for general information and 
copier)".

• If the angle of the image is not correct, 

reset the original and click the [Preview] 
button again.

• If the preview image is not oriented 

correctly, click the [Rotate] button in the 
preview screen. This rotates the preview 
image 90 degrees clockwise, allowing you 
to correct the orientation without resetting 
the original.
☞

• If you inserted multiple pages in the SPF, 

the machine previews only the top page of 
the originals and then sends it to the 
original exit area. Return the previewed 
original to the SPF before starting the 
scanning job.

For information on specifying the scan area and 
selecting the scan preferences, see scanner 
driver Help.

☞

Scanning begins and the image is acquired into 
the application that you are using. 
In the application, assign a file name and save 
the file.

• Scanning a large area at high resolution 

results in a large quantity of data and a 
prolonged scanning time. When selecting 
the scan preferences, lower the resolution 
or specify a suitable scanning area. 

• The scan resolution will vary depending 

on the scanning area and how much 
memory in the machine is free. For 
example, if a letter or A4 original is 
scanned in full color at 300 dpi with only 
the standard memory installed, the 
machine will scan the original in full color 
at 150 dpi and the scanner driver will 
enhance the resolution to 300 dpi.

• To scan a ledger or A3 original in full color 

at 600 dpi without using enhancement, 
the 256 MB memory option is required.

To cancel a scanning job after the [Scan] 
button has been clicked, press the [Esc] key 
on your keyboard or the [C] key (

) or [CA] 

key (

) on the operation panel.

The scanner driver setup screen consists of the "Set-up screen", which lets you select scan settings, and the 
"Preview screen", which shows the scanned image. For details on the scan settings, click the [Help] button in the 
preview screen to display Help.

"Scanning Position" menu
("Scanning Source" in some regions)
Select the location where the original is placed. 
Selections are [Platen] (document glass), [SPF

(Duplex-Tablet)].

"Scanning Mode" menu
Select "Preset" or "Custom Settings" ("Standard" 
or "Professional" in some regions) for the 
scanning mode.
The "Preset (or Standard)" screen lets you select 
the original type as well as monitor, photo, fax, or 
OCR according to the purpose of scanning.
If you wish to change the default settings for 
these four buttons, or select custom settings such 
as the image type and resolution before 
scanning, switch to the "Custom Settings (or 
Professional)" screen.
For details on the settings, click the [Help] button 
in the preview screen to display Help.

detected by the machine, select [Auto]. The 
scanning area can also be specified as desired in 
the preview window. 

[Zoom Preview] checkbox
When this is selected, the selected part of the 
preview image will be enlarged when the 
[Preview] button is clicked.
To return to the regular view, remove the checkmark.

[Preview] button
Previews the document.

On machines without an SPF, this setting is 
fixed at [Platen].

[Zoom Preview] cannot be used when [SPF] 
is selected in the "Scanning Position" menu.

If [Preview] is canceled by immediately 
pressing the [Esc] key on your keyboard, or 
the [C] key (

) or [CA] key (

) on the 

machine, nothing will appear in the preview 
screen.

To cancel a scanning job after the [Scan] 
button is clicked, press the [Esc] key on your 
keyboard or the [C] key (
