Step 6: Setting up the Scan function
ADF
Scanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple-page documents. You can load
up to 75 sheets.
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items
(such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo
paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).
The printer can be used to e-mail scanned documents to one or more recipients. There are four ways to send an e-
mail from the printer. You can type the e-mail address, use a shortcut number, use the address book, or a profile.
Permanent e-mail destinations can be created in the Manage Destinations link located under the Configuration tab
on the Web page.
Scanning to an FTP address
The scanner lets you scan documents directly to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
Note: Only one FTP address may be sent to the server at a time.
Once an FTP destination has been configured by your system support person, the name of the destination becomes
available as a shortcut number or listed as a profile under the Held Jobs icon. An FTP destination could also be
another PostScript printer: for example, a color document can be scanned and then sent to a color printer. Sending
a document to an FTP server is similar to sending a fax. The difference is that you are sending the information over
your network instead of over the phone line.
Setting up the scan to FTP address function using the Embedded Web Server
For the scan to FTP address function to operate, it must be turned on in the printer configuration and have a valid
IP address or gateway address. To set up the scan to FTP address function:
1
Open a Web browser.
2
In the address bar, type the IP address of the printer, and then press Enter.
3
Click Configuration.
