Automatically scan and convert multiple pages of text by using theADF with optical character recognition (OCR) software. This dramatically reduces the time it takes to input text for creating docum ents such as newslette r s.

•

Automatically scan multiple pages of images by using the ADF with image scanning software.

•

Scan text and images at the same time by using the ADF with scanning software.

•

Electronically store, retrieve, and send scanned documents as needed by using document
