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

Scanning

from the Online Printer Management Tool, page 85

.)

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 control panel, page 73

).

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 cable or wireless network (see

Networking Your Printer,

page 9

).

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 or Ethernet

connection.

• set up a profile using the Online Printer Management Tool (see

Setting up Scan

To Email, page 27

and

Setting up Scan To Network Folder, page 33

).

Changing the scan settings for scanning from the control panel

If you want to adjust settings that the printer uses, do so before you scan from the
printer control panel.

NOTE: These settings do not apply to Scan to Email or Scan to Network Folder. To

change scan settings for scanning to email or to network folder, see

Setting

options for scan to email, page 31

or

Setting scan settings for scan to

network folder, page 36

.
