Scanning Overview

Scanning with your machine lets you turn pictures and text into digital files that can be stored on
your computer. Then you can fax or email the files, upload them to your website, or use them to
create projects that you can print.
The scanning methods are scan to email, scan to computer (local and network), and scan to USB.
Use your Dell 2355dn Laser MFP to convert pictures and text into editable images on your
computer. After you install the software from the Software and Documentation CD, you can
scanning images using SmarThru Office on your computer, or through the network using Dell
Scan Manager, which enables you to scan a document on your printer as a JPEG, TIFF or PDF
and save it to a network-connected computer. Or, you can send the scanned image as an e-mail
attachment directly from the printer.
