Can you make the printer send scanned documents as email attachments? I mean directly from the printer, not through a PC.

Yes you can this is an amazing printer you can do just about anything you can think of and print quality is second to no one..

Not directly, you can scan to PC using the "email" option and it will open a new message in Outlook (on the target PC) and attach the scan as a PDF. You have to manually add the recipient address and click send. The unit does not have a built in email client to my knowledge.

I have set up to my home network and do everything through a PC or Laptop, so I don't know the exact answer to this question. Even if it is possible the way you ask, it is definitely handy to do it through a PC

Hi sir, I bought this item too and realized that it's not a printer, in fact it's only a scanner. You can insert pictures you taken into the item and take pictures of it with your phone. This item is really just useless!

I was lobbying customer support to add the capability to upload PDF files :) I just got this idea - you can read email attachments, so could you send yourself a PDF and read it?????

The easiest way for us to set this up is to use the "print from email" feature. You set up an email address for the printer from within the web interface for the printer (it might be possible on the little color screen, but that's not what we did). Then, when you send emails to that address - from *any* device, it will print them. Here's the clever part. It will print *all* of the attachments (meaning, you can attach multiple documents to the email and it will print them)! Word docs, PDF's, etc... Also, if you attach a photo, it will print it using the special photo paper tray. It works really well for us. There is also some limited support for direct printing from devices (I hear), but I've never tried that. The print from email works brilliantly (for us).

The answers you have are good. You can attach a USB cable and send a document through your PC. You can also try to send it fax or do a copy. If all else fails, you should contact Brother as it might be a defective printer.

No, but scanning and printing quality is very good. can also print thru wifi. Print from cell phone and remotely, has it's own email address.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

Yes! The scanner works best with documents, books, text of any kind. Easiest printer to setup that I've ever used.

You can print over a wireless network but you cannot send documents from the printer to a computer. You have to buy the extra piece which is about $100. Didn't opt for it, but may in the future. If you have a USB drive, you can just scan documents onto the Drive and pull it up on the computer.

I'm not sure what you mean with this question. Can you elaborate a bit? If you mean, can you make a copy of something else, then the answer is no. This is just a printer. Not a scanner, or fax or copier.

The printer works as a regular fax; if you retain an e-fax service like RightFax, you can probably use the Scan to Email functionality together with the eFax service to have a document-to-pdf efax set-up.

Yes you can, this is The EPrint and Share feature. All you need is the email of the printer (each printer has its own address) and that's it

The only way I have found to do this is to create a folder on the desktop and scan and save to that folder, then just attach it into the e-mail.

Yes! I just tried it. Simply add your email client (Entourage in my case) to the list of applications, select it, and the pdf or jpeg is automatically inserted as an attachment. This product is truly outstanding and exceeds my expectations.

No, I think you have to scan it to your desktop or whatever and send as an attachment... It prints only in black/white, but is so fast and the cartridges last forever.

Yes, you certainly can. It is not a direct nor intuitive process. In fact, you have to save the scanned item, export it to a file in PDF or Image format, then use your email software to pick up the item and send it along. This is a big shortcoming. Having developed software for quite some time, this is a rather easy function to create within the application and it surprised me that it doesn't offer the feature.There is another optional service NeatCloud which allows you to use the cloud to share the document with a number of other services (e.g. Dropbox, EverNote, etc.) This service ranges in price for the type of services desired.

You can copy but there isn't a way to scan to the computer that I can see. You might be able to scan to it, but that I'm not sure of either. I only use it as a back up printer. But, there is no scan button on it.
