1. Insert a USB storage drive into the scanner.
2. Press the “Scan” icon on the printer.
3. Select where you want to save your scan with the 'Up' and 'Down' arrow buttons on the printer. Select “Photo” to save the photo to your computer or select “Scan to Media” to save directly to a USB device. Confirm your selection by pressing the 'OK' button on the printer.
4. Open the tray, and insert the document that you want scanned, face down onto the glass. Close the tray.

6. Choose the file type with the “Up” and “Down” arrow keys on the printer, and press the “OK” button. You can choose to scan in either JPEG, TIFF or PDF formats.
