I turned it on, connected it to my PC, stuck the documents into the feeder, and used a Dell program box on my desktop to scan and save to a folder on my desktop. The Dell had all the multi-function features built in and so easy to use. Why is this taking me hours and being unsuccessful? This model printer essentially looks and smells like the Dell cn, which crapped out on me. And if you are thinking you already checked and you already have the latest firmware, I doubt it.

If it doesn't work with those directions, you just need a firmware update or you did it wrong.
To do scan via a Windows 10 share, follow this. I was hoping this Xerox would offer the same, but it seems to be much more complicated. That unit had an awesome software package that allowed me to open it and use it to scan and save things in a breeze from my printer's ADF to a folder on my PC. This machine looks to be a replica of the Dell CN system I had that died on me. In fact, some of what the manual instructs me to do to scan something isn't even possible with my machine's configuration. I have followed the manual's directions to the letter, but there isn't even an option of "Scan to desktop" present for me to choose. I just purchased and set up a Xerox WorkCentre Everything, including the duplex function, seems to be working fine-everything except for one critical feature, and that is the ability to scan documents from the ADF or glass, for that matter to a folder on my PC's desktop.
