Scanning basics
Your machine offers the following ways to scan an image using a local
connection:
• Via one of the preset imaging applications. Scanning an image
launches the selected application, enabling you to control the
scanning process. See the next section.
• Via the Windows Images Acquisition (WIA) driver. See the Software
Section.
• To a portable USB memory device, if inserted into the USB memory
port on your machine. See page 11.1.

network connection:

scan an image from the machine, if network-connected, to the
computer where the Network Scan program is running.
• To Email. You can send the scanned image as an attachment to an
email. See page 8.4.

server. See page 8.4.
