Scan to Media

You can scan black and white and colour documents directly to a memory card or USB Flash memory drive. Black and white documents will be stored in the PDF (*.PDF) or TIFF file formats (*.TIF). Colour documents may be stored in PDF (*.PDF) or JPEG (*.JPG) file formats. File names are based on the current date. For example, the fifth image scanned on July 1, 2009 would be named 01070905.PDF. You can change the colour, quality and file name.

Note

DCP models cannot change the file name.
