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
Accessing
the Online Printer Management Tool, page 16 .)
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 71 )
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 2.0 cable or wireless network (see
Networking Your Printer,
page 6 ).
If you want to scan to an email address or to a shared network, you need to:
• make sure the printer is connected to a computer using a wireless connection
• set up a profile using the Online Printer Management Tool (see Setting up Scan
To Email, page 19 and Setting up Scan To Network Folder, page 25 )
