Components of effective scanning
The scanner is only one part of the scanning system. In addition to the scanner,
you need these other components:
• A special cable to connect your scanner and computer
• Scanning software that controls how the scanner works
• Image-editing software to integrate scanned images into your work; or an
OCR software to integrate scanned text into your work.
• A suitable monitor to display color and grayscale images
• A device for outputting your work, such as a black and white or color laser
printer, dye sublimation printer, imagesetter or other color proofing device.
In addition to the basic components, you can use these scanner accessories to
make your scanning even more effective:
• Transparent Media Adapter: For scanning slides, filmstrips, and transparen-
cies.
• Auto Document Feeder: Helps with text scanning by allowing continuous
scanning of up to 50 pages of text.
