HP Printer - need help to Scan something.?

Question

Please don't tell me to read the manual. I did. I don't understand.
Is it possible to Scan a letter and put it into an email? If so, how? I've never scanned anything before. Appreciate any help.

Simple ....
But u should be using Outlook express or Microsoft Outlook to View u'r emails...

1)Look for HP Dirctor or HP Solution Center on the desktop
2)OPen it....Click on scan Picture ......Click Scan.....Then Click "Accept"
3)A new application will open up....Look for a Button called scan to email .....Click on it.....It will attach the picture directly to u'r email....

If u do not have Outlook configured...
then after step 2)
OPen u'r email(Yahoo,hotmail)
Click on compose ...Click attach files and Browse in Mydocuments\My Scan Folder.....U will find the scanned image..
Attach it and send..

Thank you, you're a genius. It worked, except . . .I scanned a letter and the fonts came out huge. Any easy way to make the font smaller. I scanned the letter into an e-mail (Outlook Express). The letter went directly into my Outbox.

Answer 2

You would rather read my typing than the manual?

I have an HP all-in-one so it might work like mine:

Place the letter upside down on the scanner glass.
If you have a button to press, do so.
Hopefully, the result will open in some HP's photo editing program.
See if you can click File, then Save As.
Here, be sure to note where it will be saved,
give it a name,
and where it says "filetype," see if you can select jpg.

Try to e-mail the jpg as an attachment.

If you want to check your manual, you might see if your scanner will save to an exe file. That way, when the recipient clicks on it, it will "execute" (open) for him/her to see.
