Scanning

You can use your CX5000 Series to scan a photo or document
and save it on your computer or other device, or to fax or e-
mail it to someone else.

progressive levels of control over your scanned image:
❏

Full Auto Mode

scans quickly and easily using automatic

settings.

❏

Home Mode

previews your image and provides automatic

image adjustments, cropping tools, and preset options for
various types of scans.

❏

Professional Mode

previews your image and lets you

manually configure your scan settings with a full array of
tools.
