Using the Scan Dashboard

This section includes:

• Setting Up the Scan Dashboard on page 98

• Scanning to Your Computer Using Push To Scan on page 100

• Scanning to a Folder on page 101

Notes:

• The Scan Dashboard is a Windows-only utility.

• These procedures assume you have the Scan Dashboard installed on your computer. The Scan

Dashboard installs automatically when you install the Windows scan driver. For information on

installing the Windows drivers, see Installing the Drivers for Windows – Network on page 38 for

Phaser 6121MFP/N or /D printer configurations with a network connection. For

Phaser 6121MFP/S, or Phaser 6121MFP/N or /D printer configurations with a USB connection,

see Installing the Drivers for Windows – USB on page 40.

Setting Up the Scan Dashboard

Notes:

• The Scan Dashboard is a Windows-only utility.

• For detailed information on setting up the Scan Dashboard, see the Scan Dashboard Online

Help: open the Scan Dashboard and then click the Help button.

From the Scan Dashboard, you can scan to a variety of destinations using settings you assign to the

Scan Dashboard buttons. For example, you can assign scan settings to the Start buttons and Scan

Mode buttons on the Scan Dashboard, and you can launch applications using the Launch Application

buttons.

The printer control panel Start buttons will scan to the configured destination when you select Scan To:

PC on the printer control panel and then press the desired Start button.

Setting Up Push To Scan

Note: These instructions are for all printer configurations and connection types.

You assign scan settings to the Scan Dashboard Start buttons so you can use Push To Scan from the

Scan Dashboard Start buttons and from their counterparts on the printer control panel. One setup

works for both because the settings you apply to the Start buttons in the Scan Dashboard are

automatically applied to the printer control panel Start buttons each time you select Scan To: PC from

the printer control panel.

To set up Push To Scan:

1. If you have not installed the Scan driver and the utilities, do so first. For information, see Installing

the Software on page 38.

2. Open the Scan Dashboard: click Start, select Programs > Xerox Office Printing > Phaser 6121MFP

> Scan Dashboard > Phaser 6121MFP Scan Dashboard.
