Understanding e-mail options
Recipient(s)
This option lets you enter the recipient of your e-mail. You may enter multiple e‑mail addresses.
Subject
This option lets you type a subject line for your e-mail.
Message
This option lets you type a message that will be sent with your scanned attachment.
File Name
This option lets you customize the attachment file name.
Original Size
This option lets you set the paper size of the documents you are going to e‑mail. When Original Size is set to Mixed Sizes, you
can scan an original document that contains mixed paper sizes (letter‑and legal‑size pages).
Resolution
This option lets you adjust 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. Decreasing the image resolution reduces the file size.
Content
This option lets you set the original document type and source.
Select from the following content types:
•Graphics—The original document is mostly business‑type graphics, such as pie charts, bar charts, and animations.
•Photo—The original document is mostly a photo or an image.
•Text—The content of the original document is mostly text or line art.
•Text/Photo—The original document is a mixture of text, graphics, and photos.
Select from the following content sources:
•Black/White Laser—The original document was printed using a mono laser printer.
•Color Laser—The original document was printed using a color laser printer.
•Inkjet—The original document was printed using an inkjet printer.
•Magazine—The original document is from a magazine.
•Newspaper—The original document is from a newspaper.
•Other—The original document was printed using an alternate or unknown printer.
•Photo/Film—The original document is a photo from film.
•Press—The original document was printed using a printing press.

Save As Shortcut
This option lets you save the current settings as a shortcut by assigning a shortcut name.
Note: Selecting this option automatically assigns the next available shortcut number.
Darkness
This option lets you adjust how light or dark your scanned documents are in relation to the original document.
Send As
This option lets you set the output type for the scan image.
Select one of the following:
•PDF—Use this to create a single file with multiple pages.
Note: PDF is the factory default setting.
•Secure PDF—Use this to create an encrypted PDF file that protects the file contents from unauthorized access.
•TIFF—Use this to create multiple files or a single file. If Multi-page TIFF is turned off in the Settings menu of the Embedded
Web Server, then TIFF saves one page in each file. The file size is usually larger than an equivalent JPEG.
•JPEG—Use this to create and attach a separate file for each page of your original document.
•XPS—Use this to create a single XPS file with multiple pages.
Page Setup
This option lets you change the following settings:
•Sides (Duplex)—This specifies if the original document is printed on only one side or on both sides of the paper. This also
identifies what needs to be scanned for inclusion in the e-mail.
•Orientation—This specifies the orientation of the original document, and then changes the Sides (Duplex) and Binding settings
to match the orientation.
•Binding—This specifies if the original document is bound on the long‑edge or short‑edge side.
Scan Preview
This option displays the first page 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.
Using the advanced options
Select from the following settings:
•Fix Scan Skew—This straightens scanned images that are slightly skewed when received from the ADF tray.
•Advanced Imaging—This adjusts the Background Removal, Color Balance, Color Dropout, Contrast, JPEG Quality, Mirror
Image, Negative Image, Scan Edge to Edge, Shadow Detail, Sharpness, and Temperature settings before you e‑mail the
document.
•Custom Job—This combines multiple scanning jobs into a single job.
•Edge Erase—This removes smudges or marks around the edges of a document. You can choose to remove 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 on that portion of the scan.

message.
