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 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 49

)

There are two ways to scan: From the control panel on the printer, or from a software
program on the computer. Scanning from a software program on the computer (such
as Home Center Software) is recommended because it gives you more options.

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

). If you plan to scan directly from

the printer control panel, you may change the scan settings as described below.
