Scanning Overview
Scanning is an optional printer feature providing several methods for scanning and storing an original
document. The scanning procedure used with the WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 differs from that of
desktop scanners. Because the printer is normally connected to a network rather than directly to a
single computer, you select a destination for the scanned image at the printer.
Destinations include storage of the scanned image on the printer hard drive or in a document
repository in a network server. You can also scan images directly to your computer where they can be
placed in folders, attached to email, or imported into applications.
The WorkCentre 7425/7428/7435 supports the following scanning services:
• Scan to Email: scan the original document to an email address
• Network Scanning: scan the original document to a document repository on a network server
• Scan to Folder: scan the original document and store the image on the printer’s hard drive
• Scan to Home: scan the original document to your home directory
• Creating scan templates and downloading images to your computer using Xerox Scan Utility
• Importing scan images into applications using TWAIN
Note: Scanning functions require installation of the Scan Drivers. For more information, see
Installing the Printer Drivers on page 38.
• Scanning services must be enabled by your system administrator.
• Print, copy, and fax jobs can print while you are scanning original documents or downloading files
from the printer’s hard drive.
