TRANSMITTING AN IMAGE

SENDING AN IMAGE IN SCAN MODE

An image can be sent in scan mode (Scan to E-mail, Scan to FTP, Scan to Desktop, and Scan to Network Folder).

  • If the memory becomes full while the originals are being scanned, a message will appear and scanning will stop.
  • When performing Scan to E-mail, take care not to send a file that is too large. In particular, multi-page files tend to be large. When sending a multi-page file or other large file, it may be necessary to reduce the number of scanned pages or reduce the send size.

Place the original.

Place the original in the document feeder tray of the automatic document feeder, or on the document glass.
