Scanning Scan from a PC via the USB interface or, with a magicolor 2490MF, scan to email via the network. Scanning from a PC with PaperPort SE The magicolor 2400MF all-in-ones and PaperPort SE work together to provide an easy way to convert paper documents to digital documents via the USB interface. Documents and photographs can be scanned using either the TWAIN or WIA scan driver.
Converting Scanned Images to Editable Text with PaperPort SE Scanned text documents can be easily converted to editable text simply by dragging and dropping them to a word processing program (such as Word). PaperPort SE automatically processes the scanned document, using its Optical Character Recognition (OCR) functionality, and then opens the editable text in the word processing program.
Scanning to Email Documents and photos can be scanned in detailed 24-bit color over the network directly to email for sharing with one or more recipients throughout the world. Scan single- or multiple-page documents up to 8.5" x 14" via the flatbed or automatic document feeder. Scanned files can be emailed in either PDF or TIFF format.

For ease of use, the following time-saving features are available for sending faxes: 9 one-touch dials 9 group dials with 50 stations per group 100 speed dials 125 broadcast stations Memory Reception To ensure that the machine doesn’t run out of memory when receiving large documents, 4 MB of fax memory is available.
Sending and Receiving Digital Documents with FaxTalk Communicator The magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF include FaxTalk Communicator, PC Fax software which provides the tools needed to manage fax communications at the PC. The main window changes, depending on the type of modem installed in the PC. This software allows you to send and receive digital faxes, drag and drop scanned documents from PaperPort SE, automatically print received faxes, view and annotate faxes, and view fax logs.
Using the Send Log The Send Log contains information about faxes that you have sent from FaxTalk Communicator. You can track the status of the faxes, view a sent fax, print hard copy records of transactions, and resend faxes if necessary. Using FaxTalk Communicator with PaperPort SE The Send To bar at the bottom of the PaperPort SE desktop provides a series of icons for programs that you can use with PaperPort SE. Five typical icons in the PaperPort SE Send To bar. The fax icon is the second from the left.

USB Host Port with PictBridge Compatibility Using the USB 1.1 Host Port, conveniently located on the front of the magicolor 2400MF Series all-in-ones, you can print photographs directly from any PictBridge-enabled digital camera with no PC or special software required.
Color Control Get great color without great effort. Professional Color Tools for Novices and Professionals The magicolor 2400MF Series all-in-ones are designed with the color novice in mind.

Options Extras all productive offices can use. Duplex Option You can manually duplex on the magicolor 2480MF and 2490MF by printing or copying one side of a page, reinserting it in the input tray, and then printing on the other side. However, the automatic duplex option provides more convenient twosided printing and copying. It installs on the back of the machine, and doesn’t change the footprint.
