Scanning

Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your
computer.

When you scan, the digital file can:

• Open in Home Center Software (when 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 34

)

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

Make sure that the printer is connected to a computer using a USB cable or wireless
network (see

Chapter 2 , Networking Your Printer

).
