Scanning to a PC or USB flash memory device
Understanding scan to PC options
To change the options for the scan to PC Profile, you must click the Quick Setup box, and select Custom. Quick Setup lets 
you select preset formats or customize your scan job settings. You can select:
Format Type: Sets the output (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) for the scanned image.
PDF output is a single file.
TIFF output is a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Configuration menu, then TIFF saves one page 
each in a series of files.
JPEG saves one page in each file. When multiple pages are scanned, the output will be a series of files.
Compression: Sets the compression format used to compress the scanned output file.
Default Content: Tells the MFP the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Content affects the 
quality and size of your scanned file.
Te x t : Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background.
Text/Photo: Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures.
Photo: Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting takes longer to scan but 
emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This increases the amount 
of information saved.
Color: Tells the MFP the color of the original documents. You can select Gray, BW (Black and White), or Color.
Original Size: Opens a field where you can select the size of the document you are going to scan.
Orientation: Tells the MFP whether the original document is portrait or landscape and then changes the Sides and Binding 
settings to match the original document orientation.
Duplex: Tells the MFP if your original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both sides). This lets 
the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the e-mail.
Darkness: Adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out.
Resolution: Adjusts the output quality of your file. Increasing the image resolution increases the file size and the time 
needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the file size.
Advanced Imaging: Select this feature to adjust Background Removal, Contrast, and Shadow Detail before you scan the 
document.Custom  Photo - Color JPEG

Scanning to a USB flash memory device
1Place the original document in the automatic document feeder (ADF) face-up or on the flatbed face-down.
Adjust the paper guides when using the ADF.

The Held Jobs screen appears.
3Touch Scan to USB drive.

Scanning tips
The following tips may improve the MFP scanning quality. For additional information or to solve copy problems, see 
Solving scan quality problems.
QuestionTip
When should I use Text mode?  • Text mode should be used when text preservation is the main goal of the scan, and 
preserving images copied from the original document is not a concern.
• Text is best used for receipts, carbon copy forms, and documents that only contain 
text or fine line art.
When should I use 
Text/Photo mode?• Text/Photo mode should be used when scanning an original document that 
contains a mixture of text and graphics.
• Text/Photo is best used for magazine articles, business graphics, and brochures.
When should I use Photo mode? Photo mode should be used when scanning photos printed on a laser printer or taken 
from a magazine or newspaper.

							Printing from a USB flash memory device
55
Printing
We recommend using the following tested and approved USB flash memory devices in the 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB 
sizes:
•Lexar JumpDrive 2.0 Pro
•SanDisk Cruzer Mini
Other USB flash memory devices must:
•Be compatible with the USB 2.0 standard.
•Support the Full-Speed standard as well. 
Devices only supporting USB low speed capabilities are not supported.
•Use the FAT file system.
Devices formatted with NTFS or any other file system s are not supported.
To print from a USB flash memory device:
1Make sure the MFP is on and Ready or Busy appears.
2Insert a USB flash memory device into the USB Direct interface.
Note:If you insert the memory device when the MFP requires attention such as when a paper jam has 
occurred, the MFP ignores the memory device. 
3Touch the arrow next to the document you want to print.
A screen asking the number of copies to be printed will appear.
4To print only one copy, touch Print, or touch + to enter the number of copies.
Note:Do not remove the USB flash memory device from the USB Direct interface until the document has 
finished printing.
The document will begin printing.
Note:If you insert the memory device when the MFP is busy printing other jobs, the message Printer 
Busy appears. Select Continue, and your job prints after the other jobs finish.
If you leave the device in the MFP after exiting the USB drive menu, you can still print PDFs on the device as held jobs. See 
Printing confidential and held jobs.

Printing confidential and held jobs
The term held job refers to any type of print job that can be initiated by the user at the MFP. This includes a confidential job, 
a verify print job, a reserve print job, a repeat print job, a bookmark, a profile, or a file on a USB flash memory device. When 
sending a job to the MFP, you can specify in the driver that you want the MFP to hold the job in memory. Once your job is 
stored in MFP memory, go to the MFP, and use the MFP control panel to specify what you want to do with your print job.
All confidential and held jobs have a user name associated with them. To access confidential or held jobs, you must first 
select the type of job (confidential or held), and then select your user name from the user name list. Once you select your 
user name, you can print all your confidential jobs, or select an individual print job. You can then choose the number of 
copies for the print job, or you can delete the print job.
Printing a confidential job
When you send a confidential job to the MFP, you must enter a personal identification number (PIN) from the driver. The 
PIN must be four digits using the numbers 0—9. The job is held in MFP memory until you enter the same four-digit PIN from 
the control panel and choose to print or delete the job. This ensures the job does not print until you are there to retrieve it. 
No one else using the MFP can print the job without the PIN.

Printing and deleting held jobs
Held jobs (Verify Print, Reserve Print, or Repeat Print) are printed or deleted from the MFP control panel and do not require 
a PIN.
Verify Print
If you send a Verify Print job, the MFP prints one copy and holds the remaining copies you requested in MFP memory. Use 
Verify Print to examine the first copy to see if it is satisfactory before printing the remaining copies. Once all copies are 
printed, the Verify Print job is automatically deleted from MFP memory.
Reserve Print
If you send a Reserve Print job, the MFP does not print the job immediately. It stores the job in memory so you can print the 
job later. The job is held in memory until you delete it from the Held Jobs menu. Reserve Print jobs may be deleted if the 
MFP requires extra memory to process additional held jobs.
