Once you've installed the software, follow these steps to scan using MP Navigator EX or IJ Scan Utility:

2. The guide message may be displayed when the scanner driver is launched. Just click 'OK' to continue.

3. Select the scanning settings according to your preferences, such as scan mode, resolution, and file type.

4. Click the 'Scan' button to initiate the scanning process.

5. Your scanned document will be saved in your computer's designated folder.
