6 Scanning to a PC or USB flash memory device
The MFP scanner lets you scan documents directly to your PC or a USB flash memory device.
Your computer does not have to be directly connected to the MFP for you to receive Scan to PC images. You can scan the document back to your computer over the network by creating a scan profile on your computer and then downloading the profile to the MFP.
