							Scanning to an FTP address
ADFScanner glass
Use the ADF for multiple‑page documents.
ABC
Use the scanner glass for single pages, small items (such as postcards or
photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine
clippings).
The scanner lets you scan documents directly to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Only one FTP address may be sent
to the server at a time.
Once an FTP destination has been configured by your system support person, the name of the destination becomes
available as a shortcut number, or it is listed as a profile under the Held Jobs icon. An FTP destination could also be
another PostScript printer; for example, a color document can be scanned and then sent to a color printer. Sending a
document to an FTP server is similar to sending a fax. The difference is that you are sending the information over your
network instead of over the phone line.

Creating shortcuts
Instead of entering the entire FTP site address on the control panel each time you want to send a document to an FTP
server, you can create a permanent FTP destination and assign a shortcut number. There are two methods for creating
shortcut numbers: using a computer or using the printer touch screen.
Creating an FTP shortcut using the Embedded Web Server
1Type the printer IP address into the address field of your Web browser.
Note: If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then print a network setup page and locate the IP
address in the TCP/IP section.
2Click Settings.

Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, get one from your system support
person.

Understanding FTP options
Original Size
This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to copy.
Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The FTP screen appears with your new
setting displayed.
When “Original Size” is set to Mixed Letter/Legal, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper
sizes.
When “Original Size” is set to Auto Size Sense, the scanner automatically determines the size of the original
document.
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if the 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 document.
Orientation
This option tells the printer whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation and then changes the
Sides and Binding settings to match the original document orientation.
Binding
Tells the printer whether the original document is bound on the long-edge or short-edge side. Scanning to an FTP address124

This option 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.

PDF—Creates a single file with multiple pages, viewable with Adobe Reader. Adobe Reader is provided free by
Adobe at www.adobe.com.
Secure PDF—Creates an encrypted PDF file that protects the file contents from unauthorized access

Web Server, then TIFF saves one page in each file. The file size is usually larger than an equivalent JPEG.
JPEG—Creates and attaches a separate file for each page of your original document, viewable by most Web browsers
and graphics programs
XPS—Creates a single XPS file with multiple pages, viewable using an Internet Explorer-hosted viewer and the .NET
Framework, or by downloading a third party standalone viewer

Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures
Photograph—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it
takes 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—Sets the scan type and output for the FTP file. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an FTP site,
computer, e-mail address, or the printer.
Advanced Options

document
Custom Job (Job Build)—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job

Scan Preview—Displays the first page of an image before it is included in the FTP file. When the first page is scanned,
the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.
Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the
area selected, leaving nothing on that portion of the scan.
Darkness—Adjusts how light or dark your scanned documents will turn out Scanning to an FTP address125
