How do I scan a document? I have a paper that I need to e-mail but need to figure out how to get it into the computer.

You need equipment (scanner, copier/scanner/printer, etc... to scan your document. The software will ask you where you want to store/save to a location it on your computer. Then go to your e-mail client and click on new mail. After you fill out "to: i.e. recepient e-mail address", "regarding" etc. Find the tab for "attachment", Click,on attachement tab and locate the scanned document on your PC you wish to attach with the new mail to be send to the recepient.(The attachement will take quite a while depending on the document size). Then click send!!!

Hope it helps.

1. You can use A-PDF Image to PDF (free download here) to scan a document into PDF format and email it with only 2 steps:
   Click the "Scan paper" icon to scan documents from scanner
   Click the "Build to One PDF And Mail" icon to create a PDF document contains all of the scanned documents and email them.

You will have to do a two step process to send a scanned document or image by email; the scan to e-mail button won't work. Scan using either Windows Fax and Scan or Paint. Save your file. Then start (Compose/Write) an e-mail to the person you need to send the document. Click Attach and browse to the location where the scan was saved. The default folder is C:/Users/<user_name>/My Documents/Scanned Documents . Click OK after selecting that image. Finish writing your e-mail and send it.

If you'd like to automatically open the e-mail program, browse to the folder where you saved the fax from Computer (Start button) and right click on the image. Choose Send to Mail Recipient. The new mail compose window should open.

I hope this helps.

(a program like PaperPort may let you send to e-mail recipient without the extra step; however I'm not sure of the details.)

You can scan it from a printer if it has a scanner built in. Many low end printers have scanners now making it easy to convert paper documents to electronic.

Introduction To use the scan features, the HP All-in-One and computer must be connected to each other and turned on. The HP All-in-One software must also be installed and running on the computer prior to scanning. To verify that the HP All-in-One software is running on a Windows computer, look for the HP Digital Imaging Monitor in the system tray at the lower right side of the screen, near the time. NOTE: Closing the HP Windows system tray icon can cause the HP All-in-One to lose some of its scan functionality and result in a No Connection error message. If this happens, correct it by restarting the computer or by starting the HP Image Zone software. Follow the instructions below to scan documents from the all-in-one to an application. Make a Scan Step one: Load paper

1. Open the paper tray door. Figure 1: Opening the paper tray door
2. Pull the paper tray extender toward you, as far as it will go. Flip the paper catch at the end of the paper tray extender to open the extender the rest of the way. WARNING: Legal paper might get caught on the paper tray extender if it is fully extended when you print onto legal paper. To avoid a paper jam when using legal-size paper, do not open the paper tray extender.
3. Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide to its outermost position. Figure 2: Sliding the paper-width guide to the outermost position
4. Tap a stack of paper on a flat surface to align the edges, and then check the paper for the following:
   • Make sure it is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges.
   • Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type.
5. Insert the stack of paper into the paper tray with the short edge forward and the print side down. Slide the stack of paper forward until it stops. NOTE: If using letterhead, insert the top of the page first with the print side down. For more help on loading full-size paper and letterhead, refer to the diagram engraved in the base of the paper tray. Figure 3: Inserting paper into the all-in-one Squeeze and hold the tab on the top of the paper-width guide, then slide the paper-width guide inward until it stops at the edge of the paper. Figure 4: Sliding the paper-width guide to the edge of the paper Do not overload the paper tray; make sure the stack of paper fits within the paper tray and is no higher than the top of the paper-width guide.

Step two: Load the original NOTE: Many of the special copying features will not work correctly if the glass and lid backing are not clean.

1. Lift the lid and place the original face down on the left front corner of the glass, with the sides of the original touching the left and bottom edges. NOTE: For more help on loading an original, refer to the guide engraved under the glass.
2. Close the lid.

Step three: Scan to an application NOTE: To use this feature, you must have installed the full software package and the HP Digital Imaging Monitor must be running.

1. Press Scan on the control panel. A preview image of the scan displays in the HP Document Viewer window on the computer, where you can edit it.
2. Click Done or Finish in the software. The HP All-in-One sends the scan to the HP Image Zone software, which automatically opens and displays the image.

NOTE: To stop scanning, press the Cancel button on the control panel, or in the HP Image Zone software, click Cancel . Have a good day,

Hi,
There's several ways to do this. I will tell you the easiest, (at least to explain).
1st- scan the document as usual, save it to your documents. ( to do this, look on your desktop for Canon Solutions- if not there it will be in your programs. This will open a box letting you scan from your scanner & save to your PC)
2nd- open an email, address it. Then click on the little icon at the top of your email that looks like a paper clip. This will open a box, just navigate to your documents & click once on the document that you want. This will put it in the email & you're ready to send. If you don't see a paper clip icon then click on 'insert'. This will do the same thing. If this helps plz rate this as 'fixya'. If you need more help leave a comment & I'll be happy to help. Thank you kindly.

Scanners scan a document in picture format(JPEG) dot per dot. Their are complete programs out ther that will scan a document and turn it into a text fine. They are far more expensive that just copy a picture of some words on a page, Typical scanner function. I hope I have explained it well.
