Scanning Overview
Scanning is an optional printer feature providing several methods for scanning and storing an original 
document. The scanning procedure used with the WorkCentre 7755/7765/7775 differs from that of 
desktop scanners. Because the printer is normally connected to a network rather than directly to a 
single computer, you select a destination for the scanned image at the printer.
The printer supports the following scanning capabilities:
• Scan a document and store the image on the printer’s hard drive.
• Scan original document to a document repository on a network server.
• Scan original document to an email address.
• Scan original document to your home directory.
• Create scan templates and download scanned images to your computer using Xerox Scan Utility.
• Import scanned images into applications using TWAIN and WIA.
Notes:
•The printer must be connected to a network to retrieve a scan file.
•Scanning must be enabled before use. For details, see the System Administrator Guide at 
www.xerox.com/office/WC7755_WC7765_WC7775docs or CentreWare IS help.
•Print, copy, and fax jobs can print while you are scanning original documents or downloading 
files from the printer’s hard drive.

Loading Original Documents
All scanning tasks begin with loading the original document in the printer. Use the document glass for 
single page jobs, or originals that will not feed through the document feeder. Use the document feeder 
for multiple or single page jobs.
Using the Document Glass
Lift the document feeder cover and place the original facedown, towards the back, left corner of the 
document glass as shown.
Using the Document Feeder
Insert originals faceup. Adjust the paper guides so they fit against the originals.

Scan to a Folder
This section includes:
•Scanning to the Public Folder on page 113
•Retrieving Scan Files to Your Computer Using CentreWare IS on page 114
•Using a Private Folder on page 114
Scanning to a folder is the simplest scanning method. A folder is storage space in the printer’s internal 
hard drive. When you scan a document at the printer, the scan file is stored in folder on the hard drive. 
You then retrieve the stored scan file to your computer using CentreWare IS.
The printer provides a Public Folder to store scanned images. This folder is available to all users without 
requiring a password. Your scanned documents can be viewed by all users. If desired, you can create a 
password-protected private folder accessible only by you. See Using a Private Folder on page 114.
Note:Scanning to a folder must be enabled by the system administrator.
Scanning to the Public Folder
Documents can be scanned to, and retrieved from, the folder without a password.
1. Load the original on the document glass or in the document feeder.
2. Press the Services Home button.
3. On the touch screen, touch Workflow Scanning.
4. From All Templates, touch _PUBLIC.
Notes:
•When you scan a document to a folder, the default settings create a 1-sided, color PDF 
document. These settings can be changed using the printer’s control panel, or at your computer 
using CentreWare IS.
•Settings chosen using CentreWare IS can be overridden using the printer’s touch screen.
5. To change any of the scan settings, use the four buttons at the bottom of the touch screen: Output 
Color, 2-Sided Scanning, Original Type and Scan Presets, to select the desired options for the 
scan. For details, see Setting Scan Options on page 131.
6. Press the green Start button. The Job Progress screen appears on the printer’s control panel.
When the scan is complete, the printer’s touch screen will redisplay the Workflow Scanning tab. The file 
is stored in the Public folder on the printer’s hard drive. You can then retrieve the file to your computer 
using CentreWare IS.
