Step 1: Install the Printer Software
Before you can start scanning, make sure you have installed the necessary software for your Samsung Xpress M2070FW printer. If you haven’t already done so, visit the official Samsung website, locate the driver section, and download the appropriate software for your operating system.
Step 2: Prepare the Document or Photo
Ensure that the document or photo you want to scan is clean and free from any creases or smudges. Place it face-down on the scanner glass or into the automatic document feeder (ADF) if you have multiple pages to scan. Adjust the document guides to fit the size of your paper or photo for accurate scanning.
Step 3: Launch the Samsung Easy Printer Manager
Locate the Samsung Easy Printer Manager program on your computer and open it. If you haven’t installed it yet, look for the software package you downloaded in Step 1 and follow the installation instructions. Once the program is open, you’ll be able to access the scanning feature.
Step 4: Access the Scanning Feature
Within the Samsung Easy Printer Manager, you should see various options for your printer. Look for the scanning component or a tab labeled “Scanning” or similar. Click on it to launch the scanning interface.
Step 5: Configure Scanning Settings
Before you start the actual scanning process, it’s essential to configure the scanning settings according to your preferences. This includes selecting the desired file format (such as PDF or JPEG), resolution, color mode (color or black and white), and destination folder for the scanned files.
Step 6: Start the Scanning Process
Once you have adjusted the scanning settings, place your document or photo on the scanner glass or in the ADF and click on the “Scan” or “Start” button within the Samsung Easy Printer Manager interface. The printer will now begin scanning your document as per your configured settings.
Step 7: Review and Save the Scanned File
After the scanning process is complete, a preview of the scanned file will usually appear on your computer screen within the Samsung Easy Printer Manager. Take a moment to review the scanned document or photo for any issues. If everything looks good, click on the “Save” or “Finish” button to save the scanned file to your desired location on your computer.
Step 8: Post-Scanning Cleanup
Once you have successfully saved the scanned file, remove the original document or photo from the scanner glass or ADF. If you have more pages to scan, repeat the process from Step 2 until you have scanned all the required documents. Finally, make sure to close the Samsung Easy Printer Manager program.
