Scanning

Scanning digitizes documents and pictures, and sends the digital files to your
computer, memory card, email, network folder, or USB flash drive (ESP Office 2170
printer only).

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

Scanning

from the Online Printer Management Tool, page 77

.)

When you scan, the digital file can:

• open in Home Center Software (when Home Center Software is loaded and the

printer is 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 printer control panel, page 67

).

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 the
computer using a USB cable or wireless network (see

Networking Your Printer,

page 6

).

If you want to scan to an email address or to a shared network folder, you need to:

• make sure the printer is connected to a computer using a wireless connection.

• set up profiles using the Online Printer Management Tool (see

Setting up Scan

To Email, page 20

and

Setting up Scan To Network Folder, page 26

).

Before you scan from the printer control panel, you must adjust the scan settings.

NOTE: These settings apply only to Scan to Computer, Scan to Memory Card, or

Scan to USB Flash Drive (ESP Office 2170 printer only) from the printer
control panel. The settings do not apply to Scan to Email or Scan to Network
Folder. To change scan setting for scanning to email or to network folder, see

Setting options for scan to email, page 24

or

Setting scan settings for scan to

network folder, page 29

.
