If you are scanning to a computer, make sure that the printer is connected to a computer using a USB 2.0 cable or wireless network (see Networking Your Printer, page 6).
If you want to scan to an email address or to a shared network, you need to:
•make sure the printer is connected to a computer using a wireless connection
•set up a profile using the Online Printer Management Tool (see Setting up Scan To Email, page 20 and Setting up Scan To Network Folder, page 26)
