Tap/click Scan. To select a scanner, tap/click Change scanner to access the Select a scanner page. After selecting a scan device, tap/click the back button to return to the Scan page. If the scanner requires authentication, tap/click Authentication to enter your user name and password. If your system supports Job Accounting, enter an Account ID.

To initiate a scan, tap/click Connect to establish a connection with the selected device. You may also select a Workflow with preset scan options before connecting to the device. If the connection is successful, the scan option fields will be activated and updated to reflect the capabilities of the selected scanner. Once connected, you can configure the scan settings for the target device and execute the scan. If the connection closes before you have finished configuring and executing the scan, continuing with Scan, Add, or Finish will fail. You can reestablish the connection by tapping/clicking Connect again.

If the connection is unsuccessful, you can try the following actions:

• Try connecting again. Your network connection may have experienced temporary interference
• Verify that you have entered the correct authentication credentials for the selected device
• Verify that the selected device is active and ready to scan
• Select another device on the Select a scanner page

You can scan multiple pages into a single document. Tap/click Add to scan each additional page, and then tap/click Finish to finalize the job.

To save each page of a multiple-page scan as a separate file, check the Save as separate files check box.

By default, scanned documents are saved in the Pictures folder of your Windows device. To change this setting, tap/click Destination and follow the system prompts.

After your scan is complete, the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) feature can extract words in a language of your choice. A text editing area allows you to make corrections with the aid of a spell checker. Right-click or long tap a marked term to see suggested corrections.

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

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.

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/click Destination and follow the system prompts. File names start with "kyoScan" and contain the approximate date and time the scan file was produced.

When you connect to a printing device, the options that are supported by that device are displayed in the scan preferences pane on the Scan page. Options that are not supported are grayed out or removed.

If the scanner requires authentication, tap/click 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.

Select the Auto Original size option in the app to allow for automatic detection of your document's size and orientation. For devices that don't support the Auto option, either use the Original orientation option or rotate the document by 90 degrees and ensure the original size matches the document's size. Additionally, some device panels allow setting your desired scan orientation using the System Menu > Common Settings > Function Defaults > Original Orientation interface. Try scanning again.

Ensure you selected the correct language from the OCR list. Spell check is not available on certain system configurations.

Tap/click Edit workflows on the Scan screen to enter the Scan Workflows interface. Select a workflow in the Workflows list to load its settings. Make any necessary changes and tap/click Save to update the current Workflow. Create a new workflow based on the current settings by tapping/clicking Save a copy. You can also Rename and Delete existing workflows (with the exception of the Default workflow).

Secure scanning with the app requires device settings that may not be required by other secure scanning solutions. Log on to your device's webpage (Command Center) as an administrator and ensure the following settings are correct:

• Network Settings - Protocol page
• Set On: IPP over SSL, HTTPS, Enhanced WSD, and Enhanced WSD over SSL
• Security Settings - Network Security page
• Set On: SSL

For devices that require secure SSL connections, please import the device's certificate into your computer's Trusted Root Certification Authority store. Please contact your system administrator for assistance.

Instructions for system administrators:

Access your scan device's webpage ( Command Center) by using your browser to visit https://[your scan device's IP address or host name]. For example, the URL will be similar to https://10.10.31.230. Ignore any security certificate problems and continue to the website.

Login using your admin login credentials.

Select Security Settings, and then Certificates.

Under Device Certificates, find the certificate containing the device’s Host Name in the Subject field. The Host Name is found in the top right of the webpage. The certificate’s Protocol section should contain HTTPS and SSL.

Tap/click the Settings button for this certificate.

Tap/click Export to download the certificate file.

Browsers handle the export in different ways. Your browser may save automatically, may offer an option to open or save, or provide an option to name the file. Chrome opens a new tab with the certificate text displayed. Right-click on that screen, select Save as, and name the file “Certificate.cer.”

Locate the file and, if needed, rename it to "Certificate.cer".

Right-click Certificate.cer and select Install certificate. Click Open on the Security Warning pop-up to launch the Certificate Import Wizard. Select Local Machine, then tap/click Next.

In Certificate Store, select Place all certificates in the following store, click Browse to select the Trusted Root Certification Authorities store, and then tap/click Next.

Review the summary information, then tap/click Finish.

If a Security Warning appears asking whether to install the certificate, select Yes.

A pop-up message will confirm that the import has succeeded.

Reboot.

• Discovered devices are devices you found through Discover or Add
• Favorite devices are devices you want the app to remember for you

Tap/click Refresh to obtain each device's present state.

There's been trouble communicating with the printer. It may be a network connectivity issue, the printer may be offline or busy, or the printer's reply may have been incomplete.

• Check if your printing device is supported
• Check your local area network connections and confirm that your PC is wirelessly connected to the network
• Retry discovery
• Tap/click Add and type in the IP address directly

Go to the system menu of the printing device and print out a status page.

Tap/click View and select Large, Small, or List from the options.

When you print from any Windows Store application to a supported TA/UTAX device, you may access advanced print settings. Selecting a printer opens a simple print interface. Selecting More settings, below the default options, opens the advanced print settings pane.

This advanced user interface, supported by some TA/UTAX models, is designed to be touch friendly and allow access to settings not shown in the simple print interface. Additionally, proprietary TA/UTAX features are available for selection. The advanced settings depend upon the driver of the selected print device. Reference the driver’s documentation for more information on what settings may be available.

Compatible print drivers may not be available, depending on your operating system and printer. For more information, refer to the documentation for your printer or print driver. You may continue to use the simple print interface in your app.

Check that your PC is connected to your local area network, and that the printing device is turned on and not in sleep mode.

Change the display resolution when preview is cut off. This issue is known to occur in the 1920x1080 pixel resolution on the Surface 2 when scanning with original sizes of A3, 8K, and Ledger. Changing the device's resolution fixes the issue.
