Scanning to a computer using the Embedded Web Server

  1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

    Notes:

    • View the printer IP address on the printer home screen. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
    • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.
  2. Click Scan Profile > Create Scan Profile.

  3. Select your scan settings, and then click Next.

  4. Select a location on your computer where you want to save the scan image.

  5. Type a scan name, and then a user name.

    Note:  The scan name is the name that appears in the Scan Profile list on the display.

  6. Click Submit.

    Note:  Clicking Submit automatically assigns a shortcut number. You can use this shortcut number when you are ready to scan your documents.

  7. Review the instructions on the Scan Profile screen.

      Notes:

      • Do not load postcards, photos, small items, transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings) into the ADF tray. Place these items on the scanner glass.
      • The ADF indicator light comes on when the paper is loaded properly.
    2. If you are loading a document into the ADF tray, then adjust the paper guides.

    3. Do either of the following:

      • Press #, and then enter the shortcut number using the keypad.
      • From the home screen, navigate to:
      • Held Jobs > Profiles >  select your shortcut on the list
      • Note:  The scanner scans and sends the document to the directory you specified.
