In Desk, select [Select source] from the [File] menu.

Note
If your scanner does not appear in the source list, there is possibility that the appropriate scanner driver has not been correctly installed or the scanner is not properly connected. For more information, refer to the document for your scanner.

Select the source you want to use, then click [Select].
3.
Select [Acquire] from the [File] menu.
The dialog box for network scanner appears.

Select scanner.
The dialog box corresponding to the selected scanner appears. The dialog box displayed varies according to the type of the scanner.

Close the dialog box by clicking the appropriate button (such as close).
The document is created in the location you specified. If a document with the same name exists, a delimiter and a number are automatically appended to the name.
