Scanning a document 7
There are several ways to scan documents. 
You can use the SCAN key on the machine or 
the scanner drivers on your computer.
a To use the machine as a scanner, install 
a scanner driver. If the machine is on a 
Network, configure it with a TCP/IP 
address.
 Install the scanner drivers on the 
Installation CD-ROM. (See the Quick 
Setup Guide and Scanning in the 
Software User’s Guide.)
 Configure the machine with a TCP/IP 
address if network scanning does not 
work. (See Configuring Network 
Scanning in the Software User’s 
Guide.)
b Load your document. (See Loading 
documents on page 21.)
 Use the ADF to scan multiple pages 
of documents. It feeds each sheet 
automatically. (DCP-J715W only)
 Use the scanner glass to scan a 
page of a book or one sheet at a 
time.
c Do one of the following:
 To scan using the SCAN key, go to

 To scan using a scanner driver at 
your computer, go to Scanning using
