You can specify multiple destinations.

For details, see "Specifying E-mail Destinations".

9If necessary, press [Text] to enter the e-mail message.

For details, see "Entering the E-mail Message"

10If necessary, press [Subject] to specify the e-mail subject.

For details, see "Entering the E-mail Subject".

11To specify the e-mail sender, press [Sender Name].

For details, see "Entering the E-mail Sender".

For details, see "Security Settings to E-mails".

13To use Message Disposition Notification, press [Recept. Notice].

If you select [Recept. Notice], the selected e-mail sender will receive e-mail notification when the e-mail recipient has opened the e-mail.

14Press the [Start] key.

If you are scanning batches, place the next originals.

Note

  • If you have selected two or more destinations, the destinations can be made to appear one by one by pressing [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key] next to the destination field.

  • To cancel a selected destination, press [Up arrow key] or [Down arrow key] to display the destination in the destination field, and then press the [Clear/Stop] key. You can cancel a destination selected from the destination list by pressing the selected destination again.

  • In [System Settings], you can specify the administrator's e-mail address as the default sender name. This lets you send e-mail without entering anything for [Sender Name]. For details, see "File Transfer", Network and System Settings Guide.

  • Depending on the security setting, the logged-on user may be specified as [Sender Name].

  • To use Message Disposition Notification, log on to the machine as a user and specify the sender. Note, however, that the [Recept. Notice] notification e-mail may not be transmitted if the e-mail software of the recipient does not support Message Disposition Notification.

  • If you press [Check Modes] before pressing the [Start] key, the initial scanner screen switches to the Check Modes screen. You can use the Check Modes screen to check the settings such as destinations. For details, see "Check Modes".

  • If you press [Preview] and then start scanning while [Preview] is selected, the Preview screen appears. You can use this screen to check how the originals are scanned and the scan setting used for scanning. After checking the preview, you can specify whether to send the file or not. For details, see "Preview".

  • To cancel scanning, press the [Clear/Stop] key.

  • You can also store a scan file and simultaneously send it by e-mail. For details, see "Simultaneous Storage and Sending by E-mail".

  • Applying security to e-mail can reduce transmission speed.

  • If you select [Do not Use Signatures] under the signature settings in Web Image Monitor, you cannot attach signatures.

  • To send encrypted files by e-mail, you must first configure the destination's decryption settings in the address book settings of Web Image Monitor. E-mail sent to a destination for which decryption is not configured cannot be decrypted even if [Encryption] is selected in [Security]. For details about configuring destination decryption settings, see Web Image Monitor Help.

  • When [Security] is set to [Encryption], if you specify multiple destinations, a delivery failure message will appear each time a scan file is sent to a destination where decryption settings have not been configured.

  • After an e-mail is sent, the destination, sender, subject, text, and file name fields will be automatically cleared. If you want to preserve the information in these fields, contact your local dealer.
