Modify the File Format When Scanning to Email

The File Format setting determines the type of file created and can be temporarily changed for the current job.

1. At the printer control panel, press the Home button.

2. Load your original documents:

   • Use the document glass for single pages or paper that cannot be fed using the automatic document feeder. Lift the document feeder, then place the original document face down in the upper-left corner of the document glass.

   • For single or multiple pages, use the automatic document feeder. Remove any staples and paper clips from the pages. Insert the original documents face up in the document feeder, with the top of the page entering the feeder first. Adjust the paper guides so that they fit against the original documents.

3. Touch Email.

4. Enter recipients:

   • To enter the email address manually, touch Enter Manually. Type the recipient email address using the touch screen keypad, then touch Confirm (checkmark).

   • To select a contact or group from the Address Book, touch Address Book, then touch Contact or Group. Select a recipient or group from the list.

   • To add more recipients, touch + Add Recipient, then enter the email address manually, or select a contact or group from the Address Book.

   • To specify the To, Cc or Bcc options for a recipient, touch the recipient address in the list, then touch an option. To view the contact card for a recipient, touch View Details. To remove a contact from the recipient list, touch the Trash icon.
