This section describes how to scan images.
About Scanning Images
You can scan images from the machine to a computer without printing them and save them in
popular file formats, such as JPEG, Tiff, Bitmap. You can send scanned data to the selected
computer from multiple computers connected over a USB connection or a wireless or wired LAN.
Scanned data saved on your computer can be processed using image processing software.
Furthermore, you can use the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to convert scanned
paper documents to text data.
