You can place a document on the scanner of your RX700 and select Scan to PC or Scan to Email on the RX700 control panel to scan the document to your computer. Once it’s saved as a file on your computer, you can open your email application and include the scanned image in a message.

Note:

This method of attaching images to your email does not work with Web-based email systems.

Scanning to a Windows PC

When you select Scan to PC or Scan to Email, a “scanner event” is triggered on your computer. You need to assign EPSON Scan (your RX700 scanning software) to the scanner event before scanning to your PC for the first time.

If you’re using Windows XP, continue with the next section. If you’re running Windows Me, 2000, or 98, see Setting Up in Windows Me, 2000, and 98.

Setting Up in Windows XP

Follow these steps to set up scanner events in Windows XP. Make sure you’ve installed all the software and connected the RX700 to your computer, as described on the Start Here sheet.

Press the Scan button on your RX700, then select Scan to Email.

1. Select Scan to Email.

2. Press the OK button.

You see this RX700 screen:
