Specifying the Resolution using the Scan To Feature
Use the Scan To... Feature to scan a document and store it in a folder on your computer or network.
To use Scan To you need to create an entry in the Device Address Book which contains the path to
the location that you want to scan to.
The Scan To button is grayed out on the device touch screen if there are no Scan To entries in the
Device Address Book.
Note: This option must be made available by your System Administrator.
If Authentication or Accounting has been enabled on your device you may have to enter login
details to access the Scan To features.
Use the Resolution options to balance the quality of the image against the transmission time if the
image is to be sent across a network. A higher resolution produces a better quality image, but a slow
transmission time. A lower resolution reduces the image quality but decreases the communication
time.
