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.
NOTE: SmarThru Office is the scanning program provided with your printer.
NOTE: If you prefer to use another application, such as Adobe PhotoShop, you must assign the
application to the printer by selecting it from the list of available applications. Please refer to
"
Scanning Using Dell Scan Manager".
