e-mail a scan

If your scanner has an E-MAILbutton ( ), you can e-mail a scan directly from your scanner. You must also have an Internet connection and a supported e-mail program.

The HP Photo & Imaging software supports many popular e-mail programs. If your e-mail program is supported, it opens automatically when you try to e-mail a scan. If you are using an unsupported e-mail program, the scanner cannot scan items directly into an e-mail message. In this case, save the scan to a file, and then attach it to your e-mail message.

1Close the HP Scanning software and the HP Copying software if they are open on your computer.

2Place the original face down on the scanner glass and close the lid.

3Press the E-MAILbutton on the scanner. The scanner scans the item using default settings optimized for e-mail.

4Follow the instructions on your computer screen. If your e-mail program is supported, a screen appears where you can address and compose a message.

You can also e-mail a scan from the software. For more information, see the

HP Photo & Imaging software Help.
