Scanning Overview

The Scan option enables users to create a digital version of a hard copy document which can be sent to
a computer over the network or through a USB connection. The original documents can be scanned in
color, grayscale, or black and white, and the digital file can then be sent to a specified destination.
Before you begin the scan process, ensure that your device has been set up for the scan function at
install. For instructions on setting up and configuring the Scan function, refer to
Settings.
The Scan To services can be configured to scan to destinations in Windows, Macintosh, or Linux
operating system environments. For information about configuring the scanning settings, refer to
Installation and Setup.
