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
• 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 50 )
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, Ethernet
cable, or wireless network (
see Networking Your Printer, page 5 ).
Changing the scan settings for scanning from the control panel

scan settings in the Home Center Software. These settings are the defaults that the
printer uses when you scan from the printer control panel.
