Scanning documents is a common task, and the Epson L360 is a popular all-in-one printer that handles scanning efficiently. Many users prefer to avoid installing extra applications for simple tasks. Fortunately, you can easily scan with your Epson L360 without relying on additional software. This guide will walk you through the straightforward methods to scan directly from your Epson L360, making document digitization quick and hassle-free.
One of the easiest ways to scan without applications is by using the built-in functionalities of your operating system. For Windows users, the “Windows Fax and Scan” tool is a readily available option. To use this, first ensure your Epson L360 is properly connected to your computer and powered on. Then, search for “Windows Fax and Scan” in your Windows search bar and open the application.
Once the application is open, click on “New Scan”. A new window will appear allowing you to configure your scan settings. Here, you can select your scanner (Epson L360), choose the document type (photo, documents), color format (color, grayscale, black and white), resolution (DPI), and file type (JPEG, PDF, etc.). Adjust these settings according to your needs.
After configuring your scan settings, simply place your document on the Epson L360 scanner bed or in the ADF (Automatic Document Feeder), if available. Click the “Scan” button within the Windows Fax and Scan application. The Epson L360 will start scanning, and a preview of the scanned image will appear in the application.
Once the scan is complete, you can save the scanned document to your desired location on your computer. Go to “File” and then “Save As” to choose the save location and filename. This method provides a simple and effective way to scan documents using your Epson L360 without the need for any additional applications, making it a convenient solution for everyday scanning tasks. By utilizing the built-in features of your operating system, you can streamline your workflow and digitize your documents with ease.
