Scanning Overview
You can use your printer to turn pictures and text into editable images on your computer.
The printer provides several ways to scan your document. There are two main scanning types. One is operated on
the printer side without using the scan driver, and the other is operated on the computer side using a software and
the scan driver.
Scanning - With scan driver
• Scan and send the scanned document to computer connected via USB cable
(Supporting USB connection for both Microsoft

Using the feature of "Scan to Application" on the operator panel of your printer, the scanned image is saved in
the location of your computer specified with the Express Scan Manager.

The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it into your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
