Using shortcuts

What are shortcuts?

A shortcut is a way to quickly accomplish printing, copying, scanning, e‑mailing, or faxing tasks with the
printer. You can configure and save a set of frequently used printer settings available for a given task and
then assign a shortcut name and shortcut number to it. When you want to perform a task with those
settings, you can simply select the shortcut number on the printer instead of going through the usual
process of adjusting the settings and options.
Configure the shortcut settings for a task in the printer Web page:
Choose To
Copy Copy a document or photo.
Eco‑Copy Copy a document or photo using two‑sided or draft setting.
ID Card Copy Copy both sides of an ID card onto a single page.
Scan to Fax Scan a document or photo and send it through fax.
Scan to E‑mail Scan a document or photo and send it through e‑mail.
Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the network and the
Internet through an Ethernet or wireless connection.
Scan to Computer Scan a document or photo and send it to your computer.
Notes:
• Make sure the printer driver is installed with a network printer
connection.
•
Make sure the printer is connected to the computer, either locally
(USB) or through the same Ethernet or wireless network.
Scan to Network Scan a document or photo and save it to a network folder.
Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the Internet through an
Ethernet or wireless connection.
Scan to Memory Device Scan a document or photo and save it to a memory card or flash drive
(depending on your printer model).
Print a File Print a document from your computer.
Note: Make sure the printer is connected to the computer through
the same Ethernet or wireless network.
Example:
A lawyer who uses his printer to send e‑mails to clients normally navigates through the printer control
panel to select the feature and its available options. Instead of doing that, he can configure the printer
settings (such as the message title and recipient) from the printer Web page, and then assign a shortcut
number to the task. When he enters the shortcut number on the printer control panel, the printer
automatically sends the documents according to the selected settings. If he wants to send another copy
of the message, he simply enters the shortcut number again.
