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 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 33)
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. If you plan 
to scan directly from the printer control panel, change the scan settings as described 
below.
