Scanning to a folder is the simplest scanning method. This function allows users to scan files to 
mailboxes, which are folders created on the printer hard drive. When you scan an image at the printer, 
the scan file is stored in a folder on the internal hard drive. You can use the Embedded Web Server to 
retrieve the stored scan file to save to your computer. 
The default settings create a 1-sided, color, portable document format .pdf file. You can change the 
default settings using the printer control panel, or using the Embedded Web Server at your computer. 
Control panel selections override the settings in the Embedded Web Server. 
 
Scanning to the Public Mailbox Folder 
The printer provides a public mailbox folder to store scanned images. You do not need a password to 
scan images to the public mailbox folder, or to retrieve the scanned images. All users can view scanned 
documents in the public mailbox folder. You can create a password-protected private mailbox folder.   
For details, refer to Creating a Private Mailbox Folder on page 108.
