To use this option, you must have an email program installed on your computer, and it must support MAPI (a special mail interface). Examples of MAPI email programs include Microsoft Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook, and Eudora. Also, you must have an internet account and an email address.

By default, Scan To Email uses the TXT file type. This will convert your scanned documents to ASCII text and place the text in your email program for editing. If you select another file type, either with the Settings Utility or by using the Menu button on the front control panel, your documents will be scanned using the file type you choose and attached to you email message.

Once your documents are scanned, your email program will launch. The document text will be added or the scanned images will be attached. Simply enter a subject, select your recipients from your email address book, and send!

Be sure and read over the scanned text for formatting or editing mistakes. The character recognition does a great job of converting characters, but the quality of conversion will depend on the document being scanned.

You can send faxes directly to multiple email recipients as well. For more information, see the Faxing section.

Scan to Applications

The remaining Scan To menu options are for defining your own Scan To destinations. You can define up to twelve (12) applications, numbered 3 through 14.

For instance, you can add Microsoft Paint and scan to BMP files for editing. Add Microsoft Word and scan to the RTF format for word processing. Or scan to a program like Media Browser and upload your images to the internet!

See the section “Scan Settings” in the Using the A1500 Settings Utility chapter for information on setting up your Scan To list.

To quickly perform a scan using the default settings, simply load the documents, enter the Scan To number, and press the Scan button.

Scanning with the Computer

The Compaq A1500 provides a standard TWAIN interface for scanning documents into the PC. TWAIN is a common scanner interface supported by many application programs.

To scan to an application, make sure that the selected scanner source, typically found in the File menu, is set to Compaq A1500 USB.

The Kodak Imaging for Windows program comes standard with Windows (select Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> Imaging). Use it for your simple scanning needs.

There is extensive Online Help available from the Info menu on the Scanner window shown below.
