Today, scanning is a must in any office.
This process also allows you to save money and at the moment replaces fax and
sending documents by mail, since you can scan a document and send it in less
than 3 minutes, if you know how to do it. You can purchase a simple scanner or
printer with an integrated scanner, so how multifunction printers typically
include such features.
First,
you can scan documents, and then edit using a scanner, whether it be an image
or a text document. Scanners used to be separate hardware, but recently,
printer manufacturers have begun integrating the scanner into almost all
printers to add document copying, allowing you to scan without much effort.
With the right Document imaging service you can expect now a lot.
But how to care
for the scanner to get the same image quality as with a new scanner
In the sequel, we will try to explain how
to properly care for and maintain the scanner in good condition, whether it is a
simple scanner or a multifunction printer. We recommend that you perform this
procedure every month, but it takes a lot of time and effort, although this is
a routine procedure for caring for the equipment.
Wipe the scanner glass:
The scanner is a visualization device that
digitizes physical documents, so the glass must be clean. If it happens that a
spot remains on the scanner glass, whether it is dirt, dust or insects, it will
all be printed on the scanned image. To clean the glass, use a damp cloth with
a little water. Avoid getting water inside the scanner.
The location of the document on the
scanner glass is of utmost importance. You should be guided by the marks that
are located on the case around the printer, or simply lay the document face
down close to the right front corner of the scanner.
The cover that
closes the scanner can be easily lifted.
If you need to scan a heavy or bulky
document or book, it is recommended to open this cover if there is no sensor on
it. Read the instruction manual, it will indicate the maximum weight that can
be put on the scanner. The scanner gives us the opportunity to edit any image:
for example, if you have a very small document and need to print more, you can
scan it and enlarge it on a computer for subsequent printing.
If you want to edit image properties, such
as size, color, format, it is recommended to scan from the printer software.
