Basic Procedure for Sending Scan Files Using WSD (Pull Type)
This section explains the basic procedure for sending scan files using WSD (Pull Type).
On the client computer, click the [Start] menu, point to [All Programs], and then click [Windows Fax and Scan].
Place an original on this machine.
In the [Windows Fax and Scan] window, click the [File] menu, point to [New], and then click [Scan...].
If a dialog box for selecting the device you want to use appears, select the name of the device in the list, and then click [OK].
The [New Scan] dialog box appears.
Make settings for the type of original, type of scanning, and orientation of the original, etc.
For details, see "Scan Profile Items and Settings".
In the [New Scan] dialog box, click [Scan].
The original is scanned.
Send the scan data by e-mail as an attachment or save it as a file.
If the [Administrator Tools] are not enabled in Web Image Monitor, you cannot use the WSD scanner function. To use this function, you must set the external scan setting to [Do not Prohibit]. For details see "Enabling WSD using Web Image Monitor".
Only one original can be scanned per scanning request. If you select [Feeder (Scan one side)], only one side of the original will be scanned. If you select [Feeder (Scan both sides)], both sides of the original will be scanned.
If you select [TIFF] for [File Type] in the scan profile, scanned pages of two-sided originals are combined and sent as a single file.
When scanning from the ADF, you must click [Scan] in the [New Scan] dialog box each time you scan an original.
You cannot scan originals while other originals are being scanned.
Two-sided originals are scanned for sideways opening (top-to-top orientation).
Transmission results of WSD scanning (Pull Type) jobs do not appear in File Status.
If scanning takes too long, the computer might time out and the error message "Automatic Scanning could not be completed" will appear on the computer screen. If this happens, change the scan settings or scan the originals one side at a time.
The Blank Page Detect function is not available when you are using the WSD scanner (Pull Type).
To scan an original correctly, place it as shown in the following table:
