Scanning using the control panel allows you to send scanned files via e-mail (Scan to E-mail), to an FTP server (Scan to FTP), or to the shared folder of a computer on a network (Scan to Folder), or to a USB flash disk (Scan to USB).
The Scan to E-mail, Scan to FTP, and Scan to Folder functions are available only through a network connection. No network connection is required for the Scan to USB function; you can send scanned files directly to a USB flash disk inserted into the front of the machine.
