Scanning to a local computer

The scan is complete when a message appears on the printer control panel indicating that the file you scanned has been saved.

Scanning to a flash drive or memory card

Before you begin, make sure your flash drive or memory card is not write‑protected.

Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents.

Note: The ADF is available only in select printer models. If you purchased a printer without an ADF, then load original documents or photos on the scanner glass.

Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).

Insert the flash drive or memory card.

 

Notes:

 

• The printer reads only one memory device at a time.

 

• If a flash drive is inserted into the USB port while a memory card is in the card slot, then a

 

message appears on the display prompting you to select which memory device to use.

Tips for scanning

•Use the ADF when scanning two‑sided pages if your printer supports duplex scanning and the ADF supports the original document size.

•Use the scanner glass when scanning two‑sided pages if your printer does not support duplex scanning or the ADF does not support the original document size.

•When using the ADF, adjust the paper guides on the ADF to the width of the original document.

•To easily retrieve a document after copying or scanning, lift the ADF input tray.

•When using the scanner glass, close the scanner cover, if possible, to avoid dark edges on the scanned image.

•Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF. Place these items on the scanner glass.

•When the document to be scanned is in place with the settings you want, press to start scanning.
