Scanning Overview

Use your Dell™ MFP 1125 to convert pictures and text into editable images on your computer. After you install the software from the Drivers and Utilities CD,

you can start scanning images using either the operator panel or applications such as DELL MFP Center or Adobe PhotoShop on your computer, which enables

you to scan a document on your printer as a BMP, JPEG, TIFF, or PDF and save it to a computer. Or, you can send the scanned image as an e-mail attachment

directly from the printer.

NOTE:

DELL MFP Center is the scanning program provided with your printer.

The resolution setting to use when you scan an item using PaperPort depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or document after you

scan it in to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.

Item Type

Documents

Documents of poor quality or that contain small text 400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale

Photographs and pictures

Images for an inkjet printer

Images for a high-resolution printer

Scanning above these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a resolution above those recommended in the

above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
