Using WS-Scan

The Web Services - Scan application lets you scan documents at the printer, and then send the scanned image to your computer. This application is available only for network printers and computers that support Microsoft Web Services.

To scan documents at the printer, see Scanning documents at the printer.

Setting up WS-Scan

  1. From the computer screen, click the start button, or click Start and then click Run.

  2. In the Start Search or Run box, type control printers.

  3. Press Enter, or click OK.

  4. Click Add a printer, and then select Add a network, wireless or Bluetooth printer.

    Note: The wireless or Bluetooth connection is available only on select printer models.

  5. Select the printer that you want to have WS-Scan enabled, and then click Next.

    If the printer is not listed, then you can search for the printer using its IP address. If you do not know the IP address of the printer, then you can:

    • View the information on the printer control panel home screen, or in the TCP/IP section under the Networks/Ports menu.

    • Print a network setup page or menu settings page and locate the information in the TCP/IP section.

  6. Follow the instructions on the computer screen.
