Overview of Scanning

You can use the C50 to scan documents from the Desktop Manager, or from
a TWAIN-compliant Windows application.
From the Desktop Manager, your document can be scanned only as a
monochrome image. When you scan a document with the Desktop
Manager, the ScanGear window displays. The available scan options
enable you to set certain conditions for scanning. This chapter provides
instructions on setting scan options with the ScanGear window.
From a Windows application, your document can be scanned as a
monochrome or colour image. When you scan a document with another
Windows application, the application may or may not display the
ScanGear window for setting scan options. If the ScanGear window is not
displayed, refer to the documentation for the Windows application for
instructions on setting scan options.
Typically when you scan a document using the ScanGear window, you
scan a preview of the document. The preview image enables you to review
the results of your scanned document and make any needed adjustments
(for example, to size, tone, and so on). When you are satisfied with the
adjustments, you then perform the final scan of the document. The system
places the final image in the Desktop Manager or your Windows
application.
