Setting up Network Scanning

Introduction

The network scanning feature lets you scan a document and directly send the image file to an e-mail recipient (Scan to E-mail), or to a folder on a computer on your network (Scan to Folder).

♦The scanned file can be in TIFF or PDF format.

♦Scan to E-mail saves you the trouble of scanning a document into a computer and sending the scanned file using an e-mail program. The scanned document is automatically sent as an attachment to an e-mail message.

To use network scanning, the machine must be connected to an Ethernet network as explained on page 17.

IP address

The machine requires an IP address to in order to communicate on your network and the Internet.

If your network is set up to automatically assign IP addresses, you do not need to do anything; the machine will automatically receive an IP address when it is connected.

If your network requires that a static (permanent) IP address be assigned to the machine, see Network Settings on page 46 to enter the IP address and related information.
