Scanning
Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your
computer.
When you scan, the digital file can:
Open in Home Cen ter Software
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 48)

Software) gives you more options, but you can also scan from the printer control
panel.

cable, or wireless network (see Configuring Your Printer, page 4).
