Scanning

Scanning Overview

All printer configurations are enabled for scanning and allow scanning using the Scan Dashboard
(Windows only), to a USB storage device, and to software applications. Only Phaser 6121MFP/N or /D
printer configurations connected to a network allow scanning to email or to an FTP server because a
network connection is required. The Phaser 6121MFP/S printer configuration does not come with
network connection capability. However, if you have email service and a USB connection to your
printer, you can scan to a folder on your computer and then attach the scan to an email message.

Scanning Methods

You can initiate scanning from the printer control panel, from the Scan Dashboard utility on your
computer, or from an application on your computer. Depending on your scan destination and type of
connection to the printer, you will need to do some additional setup before you can begin scanning.
Scanning methods, and any required setup for each, are listed below.
