To scan an image from a TWAIN scanner:

File menu).

To scan in image from a WIA camera:

skipped.)
3. Select the picture you want to copy.

Note that the Scan dialog box is part of the software that comes with your scanner or camera. It
will vary depending on the manufacturer and model of the scanner. Follow the specific
instructions that come with your scanner or camera to complete the scan of an image into
Sharpdesk.
Setting Scanning Options
In most cases (depending on your scanner), you should be able to specify the following scanning
options:
1. Preview the document prior to scanning.
2. Select an area of the document from which to scan, typically by dragging the mouse over the
area, creating an outline of the selected area on the screen.
3. Tell the scanner to send the image to your computer.
Usually, a “scan in process” dialog box appears, showing you the current progress of the scan.
When the scanning completes, the dialog box will usually disappear.
Viewing Scanned Images
Once you have scanned an image into Sharpdesk, you can then view it or print it. To view a
scanned image, click the folder containing the image in the Sharpdesk Folder Window. Your
scanned images are displayed as thumbnails in the work area.
