Scanning a document using the WIA driver
(Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Fax and Scan)
Scanning a document into the PC
There are two ways in which you can 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 need to use the scanner glass. (See
Pre-Scanning to crop a portion you want to scan using the scanner glass
.)
