Scanning Overview
NOTE:
If the Function Enabled setting for
Scan
is set to
On(Password)
, you need to enter the four digit password to use
the scan function. If the Function Enabled setting for
Scan
is set to

, the scan function is disabled. For details, see
"Function Enabled" on page 197.
NOTE:
The images used in this manual are those of the Dell™ C1765nfw Color Multifunction Printer unless otherwise mentioned.
You can use your Dell™ C1765nf/C1765nfw Color Multifunction Printer to turn pictures and text into editable
images on your computer.
PaperPort
®
is a program that allows you to organize, find and share all your paper and digital documents, and is
supplied with your printer.
NOTE:
PaperPort may not be supported depending on the operating systems.
NOTE:
PaperPort application is available only on the
Software and Documentation
disc provided with the printer. The licensed
software application is not available for download from support.dell.com.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it in to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Type
Resolution
Documents
300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text
400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
Photographs and pictures
100–200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale
Images for an inkjet printer
150–300 dpi
Images for a high-resolution printer
300–600 dpi
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
NOTE:
You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to copy text from scanned documents so
that you can use and edit the text in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process requires
textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is recommended for graphics.
If you prefer to use another application, such as Adobe
®
Photoshop
®
, you must assign the application to the printer
by selecting it from the list of available applications through the
Select Software
button each time you start
scanning. If you do not assign an application to the
Select Software
button,
PaperPort
is automatically selected
when you start scanning.
Dell ScanCenter
is a
PaperPort
application that allows you to scan items and send them directly to
PaperPort
or
other programs on your computer without first running
PaperPort
.
Dell ScanCenter
runs as a separate application
from the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
start
menu and displays the
Dell ScanCenter
bar. For more information about
using
Dell ScanCenter
, refer to the
PaperPort's
Help menu.
NOTE:
Dell ScanCenter may not be supported depending on the operating systems.
