Understanding e-mail options
Original Size
This option opens a screen where you can choose the size of the documents you are going to e-mail.
Touch a paper size button to select that size as the Original Size setting. The e‑mail screen appears with your new
setting displayed.
When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes
(letter‑ and legal‑size pages).
Sides (Duplex)
This option informs the printer if the original document is simplex (printed on one side) or duplex (printed on both
sides). This lets the scanner know what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the e-mail.
Orientation
This option tells the printer whether the original document is in portrait or landscape orientation and then changes the
Sides and Binding settings to match the original document orientation.
Binding
Tells the printer whether the original document is bound on the long-edge or short-edge side.
E-mail Subject
This option lets you enter a subject line for your e-mail. You can enter up to 255 characters.
E-mail Message
This option lets you enter a message that will be sent with your scanned attachment.
Resolution
Adjusts the output quality of your e-mail. Increasing the image resolution increases the e-mail file size and the time
needed to scan your original document. Image resolution can be decreased to reduce the e-mail file size. E-mailing72

							Send As
This option sets the output (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) for the scanned image.
PDF—Output is a single file.
TIFF—Output is a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Configuration menu, then the output is a series
of one‑page files.
JPEG—Each page of the output is saved in a separate one‑page file. When multiple pages are scanned, the output
is a series of one‑page files.
Encrypted PDF—Creates an encrypted PDF file that protects the files contents from unauthorized access.
Content
This option tells the printer the original document type. Choose from Text, Text/Photo, or Photo. Color can be turned
on or off with any of the Content choices. Content affects the quality and size of your e-mail.
Text—Emphasizes sharp, black, high-resolution text against a clean, white background
Text/Photo—Used when the original documents are a mixture of text and graphics or pictures
Photograph—Tells the scanner to pay extra attention to graphics and pictures. This setting increases the time it
takes to scan, but emphasizes a reproduction of the full dynamic range of tones in the original document. This
increases the amount of information saved.
Color—Sets the scan type and output for the e-mail. Color documents can be scanned and sent to an e-mail address.
Advanced Options
Touching this button opens a screen where you change Advanced Imaging, Custom Job, Transmission Log, Scan Preview,
Edge Erase, and Darkness settings.
Advanced Imaging—Adjusts Background Removal, Contrast, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, and Mirror Image
before you copy the document
Custom Job (Job Build)—Combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job
Transmission Log—Prints the transmission log or transmission error log
Scan Preview—Displays the first pages of the image before it is included in the e-mail. When the first page is scanned,
the scanning is paused and a preview image appears.
Edge Erase—Eliminates smudges or information around the edges of a document. You can choose to eliminate an
equal area around all four sides of the paper, or pick a particular edge. Edge Erase will erase whatever is within the
area selected, leaving nothing printed on that portion of the paper.
Darkness—Adjusts how light or dark your scanned e-mails will turn out. E-mailing73

Getting the printer ready to fax
The following connection methods may not be applicable in all countries or regions.
CAUTION—SHOCK HAZARD: Do not use the fax feature during a lightning storm. Do not set up this product or
make any electrical or cabling connections, such as the power supply cord or telephone, during a lightning
storm.
Choosing a fax connection
You can connect the printer with equipment such as a telephone, an answering machine, or a computer modem.
Note: The printer is an analog device that works best when directly connected to the wall jack. Other devices (such
as a telephone or answering machine) can be successfully attached to pass through the printer, as described in the
setup steps. If you want a digital connection such as ISDN, DSL, or ADSL, a third-party device (such as a DSL filter) is
required.
You do not need to attach the printer to a computer, but you do need to connect it to a telephone line to send and
receive faxes.
You can connect the printer to other equipment. See the following table to determine the best way to set up the printer.
