Scanning to a computer

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

    Notes:

    • View the printer IP address in the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu. 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 scanned output file.

  5. Type a scan name.

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

  6. Click Submit.

  7. Review the instructions on the Scan Profile screen.

    A shortcut number is automatically assigned when you click Submit. You can use this shortcut number when you are ready to scan your documents.

    1. Load an original document faceup, short edge first into the ADF tray or facedown on the scanner glass.

      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 turns on when the paper is loaded properly.
    2. If you are loading a document into the ADF tray, then adjust the paper guides.

    3. From the printer control panel, press #, and then type the shortcut number using the keypad, or press the up or down arrow button to scroll to Held Jobs, and then press the up or down arrow button to scroll to Profiles.

      After entering the shortcut number, the scanner scans and sends the document to the directory or program you specified. If you selected Profiles on the printer control panel, then locate your shortcut on the list.

  8. View the file from the computer.

    The output file is saved in the location or launched in the program you specified.
