SCANNING FROM YOUR 
COMPUTER

machine also supports WIA (Windows Image Acquisition), making it possible to scan from WIA-compliant 
applications and the "Scanner and Camera Wizard" in Windows XP. For information on TWAIN and WIA settings, 
see the help file for the scanner driver or Windows Help.

(Duplex-Tablet)" in the "Scanning Source" 
menu, select whether the orientation of the 
placed original is "Right edge is fed first" or

the original, and click the "Preview" button 
again.

• If you set multiple pages in the RSPF, 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 RSPF before starting the scanning job.
