Scan a document and e-mail it as an attachment. (For Windows)
You can scan a document directly into your default E-mail application using ControlCenter4, so you can send the scanned data as an attachment.
The Scan to E-mail feature does not support Webmail services. Use the Scan to Image or Scan to File feature to scan a document or a picture, and then attach the file of the scanned data to an E-mail message.
Click the link below for the ControlCenter4 user interface you are using to see more details.
