You can install the scanner driver on your computer and use a TWAIN* compliant application to scan an image using
your computer.
Scanning from your computer is most useful for scanning a single original such as a photo, particularly when you want to
adjust scan settings as you scan. By contrast, scanning at the machine is most useful for continuous scanning of
multiple originals.
* An interface standard used for scanners and other image input devices. When the scanner driver is installed on your
computer, you can use any TWAIN-compliant application to scan an image.
As an example, the procedure for scanning from the "Sharpdesk" application is explained below.
