Scanning to a computer or USB flash memory device

Format Type

This option sets the output (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) for the scanned image.
•
PDF—Output is a single file.
• TIFF—Output is a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Configuration menu, then the output is a series
of one‑page files.
•
JPEG—Each page of the output is saved in a separate one‑page file. When multiple pages are scanned, the output
is a series of one‑page files.

Compression

This option sets the format used to compress the scanned output file.

Default Content

This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Content affects the
quality and size of your scanned file.
Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background
Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures
Photo—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it takes to
scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the
amount of information saved.

Color

This option tells the printer the color of the original documents. You can select Gray, BW (Black and White), or Color.

Original Size

This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to scan.
•
Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The scan screen appears with your new
setting displayed.
•
When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes
(letter‑ and legal‑size pages).

Orientation

This option tells the printer whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation and then changes the
Sides and Binding settings to match the original document orientation.

Sides (Duplex)

This option informs the printer if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the document.
