Scanning a document
1 Place the document face up in the ADF, or face down on the document
glass.
2 On your computer, start an application software that supports TWAIN
scanning.
3 Select “Imagistics fx2080 Scanner” as the scanner device.
NOTE: The process of selecting a scan device varies by application software.
Please refer to your application software user’s guide for assistance.
4 Select the “Realtime Scan” tab.
5 Adjust the scan settings.
• Resolution — You can choose to scan at 200 dpi, 300 dpi or 600 dpi
resolution. Scanning at 600 dpi provides greater detail in scanned
images, but creates large files and uses more memory in your com-
puter and your machine. The color 600 dpi data may not display
correctly in your application software.
• Document type — You can choose either “B/W” (Black&White),
“Grayscale” or “Color”. “Color” scans up to 65535 colors (24 bit).
Scanning a document
• Mode — You can select from:
Photo: Select this mode when scanning photographs or drawings.
Photo/Text: Select this mode when scanning documents containing
photographs or drawings and text.
Text: Select this mode when scanning text.
• Contrast — Sets how light or dark you want the documents to be.
• Document size — Set the document size to one of the following:
Letter (8.5" × 11"), Legal (8.5" × 14"), Half-letter (5.5" × 8.5")
Fixed image size: When using ADF, the machine will scan the actual
length of the document. If you want to scan the document within a
specified range, click this check-box.
• Scaling — Select one of the preset rates, or enter the desired ratio in
1% increments.
Manual: If you want to reduce or enlarge by 1% increments, click this
check-box and enter the desired ratio.
Enlargement scanning can only be performed using the document
glass. The minimum reduction ratio is 75% at 200 dpi.
NOTE: The “Mode”, “Scaling” and “Contrast” settings are adjustable only when
“B/W” (Black&White) is selected as the “Document type”.
6 Click [Scan] to begin scanning.
7 When scanning is completed, the “Imagistics fx2080 scanner” window
will close. If you want to scan another document, repeat the procedures
from step 2.
