Scan to Network Folder

Scan documents directly to computer folders on your network. These scanned documents can be sent to

a shared network folder for personal or group access. In addition, you can configure specific scan

settings for each scan destination, so the best settings are being used for each specific task.

Set up Scan to Network Folder

You can configure up to 10 destination folders for each printer.

NOTE: To use Scan to Network Folder, you must have created and configured the folder you are

using on a computer connected to the network. You cannot create a folder from the printer's control

panel. Also, make sure the folder preferences are set to provide read and write access.
