Scanning Setup Overview
If the printer is connected to a network, it is enabled for scanning. Before you can scan you must do the
following:
• Scanning to a shared folder on your computer: Share the folder, and add the folder as an Address
Book entry in CentreWare Internet Services.
• Scanning to an FTP server: Add the FTP server as an Address Book entry in CentreWare Internet
Services.
• Scanning to an email address: Configure the email server in CentreWare Internet Services.
If the printer is connected using a USB cable, you cannot scan to an email address or a network
location. You can scan to a folder on your computer, or scan into an application after installing the scan
drivers and the Express Scan Manager utility. For more information, see Installing the Software on
page 38.
