Scanning a document into the PC

There are two ways to scan a whole page. You can either use the ADF (automatic document feeder) or the scanner glass.
If you want to scan and then crop a portion of a page after pre-scanning the document, you must scan using the scanner glass. (See Pre-Scanning and cropping a portion using the scanner glass.)
