Scanning Setup Overview
The printer is enabled for scanning (if you are connected to a network). However, before
you can scan you must do the following:
•
Scanning to a shared folder on your computer - Share the folder, and add the folder as
an Address Book entry in CentreWare IS.
•
Scanning to an FTP server - Add the FTP server as an Address Book entry in
CentreWare IS.
•
Scanning to an email address - Configure the email server in CentreWare IS.
If you are connected via USB, you can not scan to an email address or a network location.
You can scan to a folder on your computer, or scan into an application after you have
installed scan drivers and the Express Scan Manager utility. For more information about
installing scan drivers and utilities, see
Installing the Software
on page 31.
