How to Email a Scanned Document?
This wikiHow will show you how to send a scanned document to someone else via email.
Procedures
STEP 1:
Scan the file you’d want to send. Depending on your scanner and the computer or mobile device you’re using, the procedure will differ.
Scanning a document in PDF format gives you the most freedom and the best chance of compatibility with the widest range of devices and PCs.
STEP 2:
Open your email programme or go to your email website. Open your email app or go to your email provider’s website in a web browser where you usually check your mail on your PC.
STEP 3:
Make a fresh email message. Make a note of the attachment so the recipient knows where to look for it.
Look for a button with a pencil icon, usually toward the top of the screen, or an Image named Android Google New.png symbol to start a new message.
STEP 4:
In the “To:” field, type the recipient’s email address.
STEP 5:
Select “attach files” from the drop-down menu. A paper clip icon appears on occasion next to the “attach files” button.
In some circumstances, you may be able to add the document to the email address by right-clicking on the scanned document, selecting Copy, and then right-clicking in the new email message, selecting Paste.
STEP 6:
In the dialogue box, locate and click the scanned document.
STEP 7:
Click the Open button. The button may also be labelled OK or Attach depending on the email app you’re using.
STEP 8:
Transmit the message.
To read the scanned document you emailed to them, the recipient must double-click or press the attachment when they receive your message.
