Scanning

Tap Scan . To select a scanner, tap Change scanner to access the Select a scanner page. After selecting a scan device, tap the back button to return to the Scan page.

Select a Workflow with preset scan options before connecting to the device. You can configure the scan settings before initiating the scan.

Create and edit workflows to save your favorite scan and post processing settings.

Can I scan via a USB or network connection?

Scanning is only supported via network. Specifically, your PC must be on the same IPv4 network as the scan device. If you are using a wireless network interface to initiate scanning, then that network must support Web Services on Devices (WSD) and WSD Scan must be enabled in Command Center settings.

What file formats are supported for scanning and where can I find these files after scanning?

You can save scanned documents in .JPG, .TIFF, .PDF, and .XPS formats. By default, scanned documents are saved in the Pictures folder of your Windows device. To change this setting, tap Select or This Device in the Destination window and follow the system prompts. File names start with "kyoScan" and contain the approximate date and time the scan file was produced.

How can I provide credentials for printing devices that require additional authentication?

If the scanner requires authentication, tap Authentication to enter your user name and password. If your system supports Job Accounting, you can also enter an Account ID. You can have the app save the user name, password, and Account ID. Your information is kept secure through encryption. Network and local authentication is supported, while extended authentication is not.

My scan was saved with part of the document missing or oriented sideways. What can I do to fix this?

Select Auto for Original Size, or select a page size that matches your document. Make sure the Original Orientation setting matches the orientation you are using, and set the Scan Position to match the way you are placing or feeding the original into the scanner.
