Scanning to an FTP address

Automatic document feeder (ADF)

Scanner glass

Paper loaded into the ADF

Use the ADF for multiple-page documents.

Note: The ADF scans only one side of the sheet.

Paper on the scanner glass

Use the scanner glass for single-page documents, book pages, small items (such as postcards or photos), transparencies, photo paper, or thin media (such as magazine clippings).


The scanner lets you scan documents directly to a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server. Only one FTP address may be sent to the server at a time.

When an FTP destination has been configured by your system support person, the name of the destination becomes available as a shortcut number, or it is listed as a profile under the Held Jobs icon. An FTP destination could also be another PostScript printer.

Creating shortcuts

Creating an FTP shortcut using the Embedded Web Server

  1. Open a Web browser, and then type the printer IP address in the address field.

    Notes:

    • View the printer IP address in the TCP/IP section in the Network/Ports menu. The IP address appears as four sets of numbers separated by periods, such as 123.123.123.123.
    • If you are using a proxy server, then temporarily disable it to load the Web page correctly.

  2. Navigate to:

    Settings > Other Settings area > Manage Shortcuts > FTP Shortcut Setup

  3. Enter the appropriate information.

    Note: A password may be required. If you do not have an ID and password, then contact your system support person.

  4. Enter a shortcut number.

    If you enter a number that is already in use, then you are prompted to select another number.

  5. Click Add.

    Notes:

    • The ADF indicator light comes on when the paper is loaded properly.

  2. If you are loading a document into the ADF tray, then adjust the paper guides.

  3. From the printer control panel, press #, and then enter the FTP shortcut number.
