How do i use my scanner to scan a document and send it as email?

  • Rakesh Kumar May 11, 2010

    First you have to make sure your scanner is installed as a piece of hardware, just like your printer was. I'm sure you got a folder or pamphlet with the scanner. It will tell you STEP BY STEP how to install it. You may have even gotten a DISK with the scanner. If so just put it in your CD and follow instructions.

    Now IF you don't have install instruction you ,may have to go to www.hp.com and scroll to their products, look for your MODEL (printed on top) and then look for install instructions.

    They are real easy to follow.

    OK, now your ready. When you place that document face down on the scanner BED and begin your scan, a picture will come up on your screen with a few options.

    You will have to click on what resolution you want (150 is OK) then you will have to set your margins to the part or whole of the document you want to scan. One is vertical, the other horizontal.

    Then you will have to click on whether you want to save it as a file. Click yes.

    Now they will ask if you want to scan it FULL SIZE or 50 %. Click on the 50 % size. Now how about color. Do you want it scanned in BLACK and WHITE or FULL COLOR. (most docs are OK in b&w.

    If this sounds complicated it is only because you are reading it for the first time. Once you do a scan the next once will be so easy. Sorry I can't be there to show you. It takes me about 1 minute.

    When the scan is over you can either print yourself a copy or put a copy of the doc on your computer (under documents).
    Once it is there you can simply imbed it along with an e-mail to someone (by hitting INSERT). or you can send it as an attachment with you e-mail

Sign on to your email account, then choose "New" or "Compose" to start a new email message. Click on "Attachments" or "Attach." Wait for a new window to pop up, then choose the file you scanned from the folder where you saved the document.

How to send scanned documents abroad

Place your document in the scanner and choose a low resolution. Although scanners allow you to choose a high resolution, that feature is better suited for transferring photographs into your computer for editing. For documents, a resolution of 100 dpi (dots per inch) is a good choice.
Open your computer's Control Panel and select the "Scanners and Cameras" icon to open the scanner wizard. Follow the instructions to choose a location to save your scanned document. Create a new folder on your desktop, making it easy to locate the file later. Scan as many documents as needed to this folder.
Use your email account and create a new message, inserting your intended recipient's email address in the "Send to" field. You must type in the email address exactly.
Look at the top of your email window to find the "Insert" menu. When you click on it, a drop-down menu will appear, select the "Attach a File" option and choose the location of your document.
Highlight the desired document in the folder and double-click on it to attach it to your email message. Check to be sure the document attaches by looking for the file name in the "Attach" box above your text.
Repeat Steps 1 to 5 if you need to attach more documents. Send your email as usual.

Best of Luck!
