One straightforward method to get scanned documents from your Kyocera device to your computer is by scanning to a removable memory device, such as a USB drive. You can then easily transfer the file from the USB drive to your computer.
Steps for Scanning to Removable Memory (USB Drive)
Based on common Kyocera scanning processes, including the method shown in the reference provided, you can follow these steps:
- Prepare for Scanning: Ensure your Kyocera device is powered on and ready. If using a USB drive, insert it into the designated USB port on the device.
- Select File Format: On the Kyocera control panel, navigate through the scan options. You will need to select the desired file format for your scan. A common and widely compatible format is PDF. After selecting the format (e.g., select PDF), select OK to confirm your choice.
- Place Documents: Position your original documents. You can place them face-up in the document processor (the tray on top that feeds multiple pages) or face-down on the scanner glass for single pages.
- Start the Scan: Once your documents are in place and your settings are selected, press start. The Kyocera device will begin scanning your documents to the chosen destination, which in this method is the removable memory.
- Access Your Scan: After the scan is complete, you can select removable memory from the home screen to see your scan. This allows you to verify the file is on the USB drive.
- Transfer to Computer: Safely remove the USB drive from the Kyocera device and insert it into a USB port on your computer. You can then access the drive's contents and copy or move your scanned file(s) to a folder on your computer.
This method uses the removable memory (like a USB stick) as an intermediate step to transfer files from the Kyocera device to your computer.
