Scanning to a folder is the simplest scanning method. When you scan an image at the printer, the scan 
file is stored in a folder on the internal hard drive. You then use CentreWare Internet Services to retrieve 
the stored scan file to your computer. 
The default settings create a 1-sided color portable document format (.pdf) file. You can change these 
settings using the printer control panel, or using CentreWare Internet Services at your computer. Control 
panel selections override the settings in CentreWare Internet Services. 
 
 
Scanning to the Public Folder 
The printer provides a public folder to store scanned images. You do not need a password to scan images 
to the public folder, or to retrieve them. All users can view scanned documents in the public folder. You 
can also create a password-protected private folder. For details, see Creating a Private Folder on 
page 119.
