Scanning a document involves using a scanner to convert a physical document into a digital format. The scanner captures the document's image or text, processes it, and saves it to Email or USB as a file, such as PDF or JPEG, for easy storage, sharing, or editing.

Instructions

Place the document on the scanner, select the appropriate scan settings (such as resolution, scan mode, and file format), and initiate the scan. The scanned document is then saved as a digital file, ready for storage, editing, or sharing.

Color/Black

Color/Black options not only enhance the user experience but also provide a tailored approach to document reproduction. This flexibility allows users to choose the reproduction style that aligns with the characteristics of the original document and caters to their individual preferences. The result is a highly customizable and user-centric copying experience, ensuring that the output accurately reflects the user's intent and the nature of the content being reproduced. Here's an overview of each option:
- Color: Choosing the "Color" option instructs the copier to reproduce the document in full color, preserving the original color palette.
- Black/Gray: Opting for "Gray" indicates that the copier should produce a grayscale copy, removing color and retaining shades of gray for a monochromatic output.

Sides

Specifies whether the Scan should be single-sided or double-sided, providing flexibility in reproducing documents.
The Sides options in the Copy functionality of the app provide users with a range of choices to determine how the document will be reproduced. These options include:
- 1-Sided
- 2-Sided
