Scanning

Scanning digitises documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your computer, memory card, e-mail or network folder.

To scan to a computer, the Home Centre Software must be installed on that computer, unless you are using the Online Printer Management Tool. (See Scanning from the Online Printer Management Tool, 54.)

When you scan, the digital file can:

open in Home Centre Software (when Home Centre Software is loaded and the printer is connected to a computer with WINDOWS OS).

open in third-party scanner software.

be saved in a format and location that you determine (see Changing the scan settings for scanning from the printer control panel, 49).

Scanning from a software program on the computer (such as Home Centre Software) gives you more options, but you can also scan from the printer control panel.

Before you begin scanning

If you are scanning to a computer, make sure that the printer is connected to the computer using a USB cable or wireless network (see Networking Your Printer, 5).

If you want to scan to an e-mail address or to a shared network folder, you need to:

make sure the printer is connected to the computer using a wireless connection.

set up a profile using the Online Printer Management Tool (see Setting up Scan To E-mail, 15 and Setting up Scan To Network Folder, 19).
