E-mailing a scan
When you send e-mail using the E-mail button (
), the scanner scans the item using default settings optimized for mailing. If you have a supported e-mail program, the scanned image automatically appears as a file attachment in a new e-mail message, which you then address and send.
If your e-mail program is not supported, see Unsupported e-mail programs on this page.
Tip To view the scanned item before you send it, open the file attachment from the new e-mail message.

Supported e-mail programs
Supported e-mail programs allow the scanner to scan an item as a file and attach it to a new e-mail message. If a scanned image automatically appears as a file attachment in a new e-mail message, your e-mail program is supported.
See "Configuring scanner buttons" on page 35 to check or change which e-mail program is set as the default.
Unsupported e-mail programs
If you are using an unsupported e-mail program, such as the Web- based program Microsoft Hotmail®, the scanner cannot scan items directly into an e-mail message. Instead, the computer can prompt you to save the item as a file before the scanner completes the scan.
To enable the computer to prompt you to save an item as a file, complete the following steps:
1Choose Control Panels from the Apple (
) menu, and then choose HP Scanjet Controls from the submenu.
2Click the Buttons tab in the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box, and then click the E-mailtab.
3In the Destinations pull-down menu, select a destination. See "Destinations options" on page 37 for more information.
4Select an appropriate type of file for the destination you’ve selected.
5Close the HP Scanjet Controls dialog box.
6Press the E-mail button (
) and when prompted, save the scan.
After the scan is completed, open an e-mail message and attach the file as you normally do.
