Scanning to a computer or USB flash memory device
Understanding scan to computer options
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.
Note: Duplex scanning is not available on selected printer models.
Darkness
This option adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out in relation to the original document.

Tip
•
Use Text mode when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and preserving images
copied from the original document is not a concern.
•
Text mode is recommended for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only
contain text or fine line art.
•
Use Text/Photo mode when scanning an original document that contains a mixture of text
and graphics.
•
Text/Photo mode is recommended for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
Use Photo mode when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken from a magazine or
newspaper.
