Acquiring documents from a device

You can acquire documents using any type of device that supports the following outputs: .pdf, .doc, .docx, .xls, .ppt, .bmp, .gif, .jpg, .png, .txt, and .rtf. Prior to acquiring a document, you must first attach the device that you will use to acquire the document to your computer.

To acquire a document from a device

1.   From the Acquire menu in the Document Center, point to From Device, and then select the device that you want to use to acquire the document.

If you have multiple devices attached to your computer, from the list, select the device that you want to use to acquire the document. The dialog box associated with the device you selected appears.

Note: If no devices are attached to your computer, the From Device option in the Acquire menu and the From Device button have no focus.

 2.   Select the document or documents that you want to acquire.

Depending on the device you are using, this process could differ slightly. Finish all the steps associated with the dialog box. Once you have finished acquiring the document, the Document Information dialog box appears. To learn more, click Entering document information.
