Fast Scan - Windows Desktop or File Explorer

With Fast Scan, you can quickly scan documents using a predefined profile and insert them as images or OCR text into a file on your Windows Desktop or in File Explorer.

  1. Place your documents in the scanner.
  2. Right-click from your Windows Desktop or a folder in File Explorer.
  3. From the context menu, select Fast Scan.

    Fast Scan is not available on the context menu if you select two or more folders, or if you right-click an empty space within the Windows Libraries folder.

  4. From the Profile list, select the predefined profile that is appropriate for the documents to be scanned:
    • Color Only
    • Color or Black & White
    • Black & White Only

    A progress bar appears as scanning is started.

  5. Upon completion of scanning, the Save Scanned Document dialog box appears. Assign a file name and file type to the attachment that contains the scanned documents. See Save Scanned Document.
  6. Click OK to close the Save Scanned Document dialog box.

    The scanned documents are saved to the location where you initiated your scan: Windows Desktop or a folder in File Explorer.
