While multiple options are listed, flash drives are used through 'Scan and Store' and 'Access Stored Files.'

• Access Stored Files - Use this option to print documents already saved on a flash drive.

4.) Regardless of your selection, the next screen will be the one shown below. Choose 'Memory Media.'

5.) Select your flash drive

6.) If you’re printing files from a flash drive, select the files you want to print. If you’re saving a file to your flash drive, enter a file name. Finally, press the Start button to begin the process.

7.) When the process is complete, press the eject button before removing your flash drive.

III. Scan and Send to Fax

Faxing capabilities are not available on Canon printers/copiers. To fax a document, first use the Scan and Send feature to email the file to yourself. Then, use the Fax Utility on your computer to send the fax. A RightFax number is not required for this process. If you need the Fax Utility installed, please contact the Technology Service Desk at (336) 278-5200.
