Scanning with a Xerox WorkCentre typically involves placing your document on the scanner glass or in the automatic document feeder (ADF), selecting the scan function on the device's touchscreen, adjusting settings, and initiating the scan. The process described in the reference highlights the key touchscreen interactions.
Easy Steps to Scan Using the Touchscreen
Based on the experience described for Xerox models like the C235, B225, and B235, scanning is a straightforward process accessed directly from the device's interface.
Here are the core steps to scan:
- Access the Scan Function: Experience the screen and click on the Scan option.
- Review and Adjust Settings: The screen will present several options. Review the settings for your scan destination (like Scan to PC/Desktop, Email, Network Folder) and the scan properties (such as resolution, color mode, file format). Change them as necessary to meet your requirements.
- Initiate the Scan: Click Scan to begin the scanning process.
- Preview (if available): Depending on the scan settings or destination, you might see a Preview of your scanned image.
- Examine the Preview: If a preview is shown, you can double-click the image to zoom in and see the image larger for quality check.
Common Scan Settings to Consider
When reviewing the settings on the touchscreen, you'll typically encounter options like:
- Scan Destination: Where the scanned file will be sent (e.g., Computer, Email, Network Folder).
- Color Mode: Black and White, Grayscale, or Color.
- Resolution: Measured in DPI (dots per inch), affecting clarity and file size (e.g., 200 dpi for documents, higher for images).
- File Format: PDF, JPEG, TIFF, etc.
- Simplex/Duplex: Scan one side (Simplex) or both sides (Duplex) of the document.
- Original Type: Text, Photo, Text/Photo, etc.
Adjusting these settings ensures the scan is optimized for its intended use.
