Adjusting Settings Before Scanning Directly to Microsoft Word

You can import images directly from the scanner into a Microsoft Word document. You can adjust the scan settings as needed.

Note: You can scan into Microsoft Word before version 2007.

To import a scanned image:

1. At the printer, load the original on the document glass or in the automatic document feeder.
2. At your computer, from Microsoft Word, click Insert > Picture > From Scanner or Camera.
3. Click Device > TWAIN Driver.
4. Under Resolution, select an option:
   • Web Quality for documents that are published online.
   • Print Quality for printed documents.
5. To add your scan to the Clip Organizer automatically, select Add Pictures to Clip Organizer.
6. Click Custom Insert.
7. If multiple scanners are installed on your computer, click Select Scan Device, select the scanner, then click Select.
8. To select a size for the scanned image, click Scan Size and select an option.
9. To select the sides to scan from the original, click Side to Scan and select an option:
   • 1-Sided Scan: This setting scans only one side of the original document or image and produces 1‑sided output files.
   • 2-Sided Scan: This setting scans both sides of the original document or image.
   • 2-Sided Scan, Short Edge scans both sides of the original image on the short edge.
10. To select the resolution to scan the image, click Resolution and select an option.

    The scan resolution depends on how you plan to use the scanned image. Scan resolution affects both the size and image quality of the scanned image file. Higher scan resolution produces better image quality and a larger file size.

    • Auto detects the color content in the original image. If the original image is color, the printer scans in full color. If the original is a black and white document, the printer scans in black and white only.
    • Color: Scans in full color.
    • Grayscale: Detects and scans various shades of gray.
    • Black and White: This setting scans in black and white only.
