Workflow Scanning allows you to scan an original document, distribute, and archive the scanned image file. The Workflow Scanning feature simplifies the task of scanning many multi-page documents and saving the scanned image files in one or more file locations.

Note: The system administrator must set up this feature before you can use it.

To specify how and where scanned images are stored, create a workflow. You can create, manage, and store multiple workflows in a workflow pool repository on a network server.

There are several workflow options:

  • Distribution workflows enable you to scan documents to one or more file destinations. File destinations include an FTP site, a website, and a network server. You can add fax destinations to workflows too.

  • Scan to Mailbox enables you to scan documents to public or private mailbox folders on the printer hard drive.

  • Scan to Home enables you to scan documents to a personal Home folder on your network.

  • Scan to USB enables you to scan documents to a connected USB Flash drive.
