A Document

[jennyjoan]

have just received a document through the letter box, a friend of mine wanted this poem.

Can I scan this document on my printer and then email it to her, if so how can that be done. Thanks.

Otherwise I will just type it up and email it to her -

Your all-in-one printer probably came with software. Have a look at the scanning feature - you're looking for scan to email, scan to pdf etc.

Let us know what make and model of printer

If you have a camera phone you can take a picture of it. Just needs half decent lighting.

If you have a scanner facility on your printer it will show as a seperate device in "Settings".. "Devices" ... "Printers and Scanners" although they are physically one machine. This is because the two options require different instructions from you and your pc. Your printer/scanner make and model would help and confirmation that is is being recognised by your pc would be a bonus. It is not usually difficult to get the printer recognised. A quick check to see if it is being detected is to send a document from screen, or file, to print. In there you will have a column on the left that has a choice box with options. If the scanner is being detected it will show in the list. Recent microsoft updates lost scanner options for some systems and you may need to install a free scanner app. I used this when my scan function went missing a while back.

1. Switch on the printer and put the document in your printer, face down on the glass.
2. Make sure that printer settings show 'scan'.
3. Switch on the computer and make sure the computer settings show 'scan'.
4. Start the scan procedure on your computer. The scan, when completed, should go into your Pictures or Photos file.
5. Switch your computer to send an email.
6. Your email display will show 'attachments' at the top of the page.
7. Left click on 'attachments'. You will be given the option of which attachment to choose. Your scan is now an 'attachment'.
8. Select the scanned document and attach it to your email.
9. Type an appropriate email and send it, together with the scanned document (the attachment).
