Scanning docs with my Hp photosmart restricts me to send docs by email ONLY thru Outlook Do all scanners printers have this lack of option

you'll need a photo editing program. HP may have installed one when you set it up

make sure the printer is turned on and your doc is ready to scan

go into the program and select either "import" or "Scan"

it should bring a scan screen up, select start or whatever term they use to begin.

once it is done scanning, the file should show on the screen.

SAVE IT NOW!!! just in case

from the options you should see one that says "send as email"

select that and your email should open.

send as normal with this attached.


i know i am not very specific but it will depend on the software you are using but these are the basic steps. i hope it helps.

HP Photosmart 1218 scanner would send photos to Outlook Express by opening email with access to all my addresses in OE. How can I have access to OE addresses with my new HP Photosmart Prem C310a all in one?

Hi,

Let me assume you have install the Printer software and you are able to HP Solution Center icon on the desktop

Click on the link below to lanuch HP webpage to guide you.

When you get to the level where it says SCAN to, you can choose EMAIL or Outlook from it.

OR

Place document on the scanner bed and press the SCAN button and SCAN TO button.
Choose Scan to Email and Press Scan button.

The Document/picture you are scanning will be scanned and Outlook compose mail box opens with the document/picture as Attachment.

You are using HP PSC 1610 and There is an easy option available for you to scan documents/pictures directly to Email since you are using Outlook.

for this, you will find need to check if HP Solution Center is installed in your pc ? if not, you need to install it to make things easier for you.

If you have not installed the complete software for your printer, you will not find HP Solution Center in your PC.

Download the Software from this link :

There is also a printing patch available incase you have upgraded your PC from Vista to Win 7

After you have installed the S/w, check for HP Solution Center on the Desktop.

Click on Scan Document and Click on DOCUMENT to EMAIL option and click Scan, The Scanned document will automatically get scanned and Attached to Blank Email.

Scan a BLANK sheet of paper.
if you have that black strip it means there sre two possibilities:
>> the scanner glass is not screen
OR
>> the scanner is faulty.

Clean the glass properly using a moist lint free cloth.(do not use alcohol)
if the issue still persists

The only option that you have is to get the printer replaced.

When you scan a document it must be scanned with OCR software. The default scanning method will scan a document as a picture, not a document with letters and words. The OCR software will recognize the letters and put the scanned document in the proper format to open it with MS Word. The software that you scan with should have a setting for OCR, read your instructions or help files to get the details if you can not find them very easy in the software you use for scanning. .

The problem with using Outlook may be that you have not set it up properly to get your emails from your email server. You do not need to use Outlook or Outlook express to send any documents, you can use your web based email server if you like, but you can use Outlook Express as well. You just need to add the document to send as an attachment to the email.

To set up Outlook Express to get your email, you must first find out what the POP3 and SMTP setting you must use. You can get that information from your email provider, it is different for every email provider. Then you go to the "File" menu at the top left of Outlook Express and select "Identities" and select "Add New Identity" and from there you will go thru a wizard to guide you thru the process of setting up your email client. Just make sure you have the POP3 and SMTP settings available for you to put into Outlook Express when prompted to in the wizard.

That is the front panel options you get to see in the All-In-One screen,
That states that you can scan and save it to these options
Outlook is to scan and send as email
Microsoft word is installed by default with Microsoft office Try scanning you will see a word window popping-up as soon as it has completed scanning
HP Photo View Center is a HP Software application where you can edit the scanned image and do some creative arts for pictures.
I.R.I.S.read iris is to scan and edit documents (you can try scanning a document to this.
If in addition if you had Adobe installed you would get another option as to scan to PDF

Good Luck
