Available Scanning Methods

You can use the following scanning methods on a scanner for which the authentication setting is enabled. The administrator may restrict the available functions. For more information, contact your system administrator.

Presets

Use the pre-registered settings to scan. If Presets are enabled on the scanner, a list of the presets is displayed after logging in.

Note:

The administrator can make the following settings for Presets.

  • Display different Presets for each authenticated user.

  • Start scanning immediately after authentication without displaying a confirmation screen.

Scan to My Email

Send the scanned image to the user’s email address associated with the account.

Scan to My Folder

Save the scanned image to the folder assigned to each user. You can set the following as a dedicated folder.

  • Assign one folder to the whole authentication setting, and automatically create a personal folder inside it.

  • Assign different network folders individually to each user.

Network Folder/FTP*

You can save the scanned image to a pre-configured network folder.

Email*

You can send the scanned image by email directly from the scanner through a pre-configured email server.

Cloud*

You can send the scanned image directly to cloud services that have been registered in advance.

USB Drive*

This is available only when no authentication device is connected to the scanner.

You can save the scanned image directly to a USB drive connected to the scanner.

*: The scanning procedures after logging in are the same as the procedures when the authentication setting is disabled. See the Related Information link below for the procedures.
