Hi Viv
In your scanning software make sure you are in the advanced panel.
There is a selection that says "scan to" or "Open with" and one that says "file type" (or something similar) - I'm not at a machine with one connected so I'm doing this from memory.
In the file type pull-down, select PDF
in the scan to/open with pull down select your email program.
After the scan is completed, a pdf will be created, you email program will open a new email with the scan already attached. All you have to do is address is, give it a title and send it.
Job done.

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.
