Scanning

Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your computer, memory card, email, network folder, or USB flash drive.

To scan to a computer, the Home Center Software must be installed on that computer, unless you are using the Online Printer Management Tool. (See Scanning from the Online Printer Management Tool, page 90.)

When you scan, the digital file can:

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

•open in a third-party scanner software.

•be saved in a format and location that you determine (see Changing the scan settings for scanning from the control panel, page 79).

Scanning from a software program on the computer (such as Home Center 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 a computer using a USB cable, Ethernet cable, or wireless network (see Networking Your Printer, page 9).

If you want to scan to an email address or to a shared network folder, you need to:

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

•set up a profile using the Online Printer Management Tool (see Setting up Scan To Email, page 23 and Setting up Scan To Network Folder, page 29).
