2. Fax to E-mail

The Fax to E-mail feature lets you scan a document and directly send the image to an e-mail recipient.

This saves you the trouble of scanning the document into a computer and sending the scanned file using an e- mail program.

The scanned document is sent as an attachment to an e-mail message. The attached file can be in TIFF or PDF format.
