How to Set Up Printer Scanning

Many all-in-one printers can scan documents to a connected computer. The exact controls depend on the printer, but the general workflow is similar across many devices.

Prepare the Scanner

  1. Turn on the printer and make sure it is ready.
  2. Connect the printer to your computer or local network.
  3. Place the document on the scanner glass or document feeder.
  4. Open a compatible scanning application on your computer.
  5. Select the available printer or scanner.
  6. Choose the preferred scan settings.
  7. Start the scan and save the resulting file.
Tip: Place the document straight on the scanner surface and close the scanner cover before starting the scan.

Choosing Scan Settings

  • Use a suitable resolution for the type of document.
  • Choose a file format supported by your intended use.
  • Use color mode when color information needs to be preserved.
  • Review the scanned document before closing the application.

If the Computer Cannot Find the Scanner

When scanning is unavailable, first confirm that the printer is connected and recognized by the computer.

  • Check the printer's power and connection.
  • Restart the printer and computer.
  • Check whether the printer appears in the computer's device settings.
  • Close and reopen the scanning application.
  • Try the scan again after the connection is restored.
If printing works but scanning does not, the scanning function may require a compatible scanning application or additional device support.
