Basic Operation for Scan to USB

This section describes the basic operation for sending scanned files to a USB flash disk.

The original in the ARDF or ADF takes precedence over the original on the exposure glass if you place originals both in the ARDF/ADF and on the exposure glass.
This machine does not support the use of USB flash disks connected to external USB hubs. Insert your USB flash disk directly into the USB flash disk port located at the top left corner of the machine.
Certain types of USB flash disks cannot be used.
If [Save Scn Data to USB] under administrator settings is disabled, this function cannot be used.

Insert your USB flash disk into the USB flash disk port.

If you see this screen, proceed to the next step. If not, proceed to step 8.

If you have more originals to scan, place the next original on the exposure glass, and then press [Yes]. Repeat this step until all originals are scanned.

When all originals have been scanned, press [No] to start sending the scanned file.

Confirm that “Ready” appears on the display.

The scanned file is created in the root directory of the USB flash disk.

Remove the USB flash disk from the machine.

To cancel scanning, press the [Scanner] key, and then press the [Clear/Stop] key. The scan files are discarded.
You can configure the machine to scan documents in black and white, color, or grayscale by changing the [Scanning Mode] setting under scanner settings.
If the [Limitless Scan] setting under scanner settings is enabled, you can place originals on the exposure glass repeatedly in a single scan procedure.
If the [File Type] setting under scanner settings is enabled, you can scan multiple pages to create a single PDF or TIFF file containing all pages. However, if the file format is JPEG, a single-page file will be created for every page scanned.
If paper is jammed in the ARDF/ADF or an access error to the USB flash disk occurs, the scan job will be discarded. Remove the jammed paper and scan the entire originals again.
