Basic Information on Scanning
What is a "Scan"?
A "scan" is the process of converting the optical information of paper data (such as documents, magazine clippings,
photos, handwritten illustrations, and so on) into digital image data.
You can save scanned data as a digital image such as a JPEG or PDF.
You can then print the image, send it by email, and so on.
Scanning Uses
You can use scanning in a variety of ways to make your life more convenient.
❏ By scanning a paper document and turning it into digital data, you can read it on a computer or a smart device.
❏ By scanning tickets or yers into digital data, you can dispose of the originals and reduce clutter.
❏ By scanning important documents, you can back them up to cloud services or another storage medium, just in
case they get lost.
❏ You can send the scanned photos or documents to friends by email.
❏ By scanning hand-drawn illustrations and so on, you can share them on social media at a much higher quality
than by just taking a photo on your smart device.
❏ By scanning your favorite pages from newspapers or magazines, you can save them and dispose of the originals.
Available Scanning Methods
You can use any of the following methods to scan using this printer.

Connecting a Smart Device and Printer Directly (Wi-Fi
Direct)
Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) allows you to connect a smart device directly to the printer without a wireless router and
print from the smart device.
About Wi-Fi Direct
Use this connection method when you are not using Wi-Fi at home or at the oce, or when you want to connect
the printer and the computer or smart device directly. In this mode, the printer acts as an wireless router and you
can connect the devices to the printer without having to use a standard wireless router. However, devices directly
connected to the printer cannot communicate with each other through the printer.
e printer can be connected by Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection simultaneously. However, if you
start a network connection in Wi-Fi Direct (Simple AP) connection when the printer is connected by Wi-Fi, the
Wi-Fi is temporarily disconnected.

If the SSIDs assigned by the wireless router are not handled as the same network, then each computer is
