Scanning Overview
NOTE:
If the Function Enabled setting for
SCAN
is set to
On(Password)
, you need to enter the four digit password to use
the scan function. If the Function Enabled setting for
SCAN
is set to

You can use your Dell™ Color Multifunction Printer | E525w to turn pictures and text into editable images on your
computer.
The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or
document after you scan it in to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.
Scanning beyond these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a
resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or
pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.
