Simply enter a subject, select your recipients from your email address book, and send! Note: Read over the scanned text for formatting or editing mistakes. The character recognition does a great job of converting characters, but the quality of conversion will depend on the document being scanned. A copy of your scanned document will be saved in your user folder, which defaults to your My Pictures directory. Scanning Scanning to custom applications The remaining Scan To menu options are for defining your own applications. You can define up to six (6) additional applications using the A4000 settings utility. For instance, you can add Microsoft Paint to the menu and scan to BMP files for editing, or add Microsoft Word and scan to the RTF format for word processing.
