Scanning a photograph
To scan a photograph:
1. Open the document cover, and place the photograph on the glass. Be sure to
place the photograph face down with the top edge and side edge of the
photograph on the corner of the glass near the reference icon.
2. Close the document cover.
3. Press the green Scan button on the scanner or click the the Scan button icon in
the Simple Access Button window on your computer screen to start the scanner.
Note: The scanner lamp must warm up for a few moments on the initial scan.
After the scanner has been idle for a period of time, the lamp
automatically turns off to conserve energy and lamp life .
After the scanner completes scanning the photograph, the image of the item
displays on the PaperPort desktop view. Your photograph is now stored here
until you want to take some other action such as editing, faxing, e-mailing, or
printing it.

E-mailing a photograph
If you can send e-mail from your computer, you can send a photo image as an e-mail
attachment by using an e-mail icon in the PaperPort Link Bar at the bottom of the
PaperPort desktop. After a photograph is displayed on the PaperPort desktop view,
you can drag and drop the photograph onto an e-mail icon in the Link Bar at the
bottom of the PaperPort window. Before trying to drag and drop, be sure that you
know how to use the mouse to drag and drop an item and that you know which icon
in the PaperPort Link Bar represents your e-mail program.
To e-mail a photograph:
1. Scan a photograph using the instructions given in "Scanning a photograph."
2. Locate the icon for your e-mail program in the PaperPort Link Bar at the bottom
of the PaperPort window. You might need to use your mouse to scroll the link
icons from side to side to find the icon.
3. In the PaperPort desktop view, locate the photograph that you want to e-mail.
4. Drag and drop the photograph on the e-mail icon.
When you drag and drop a photograph to the e-mail link, the PaperPort software
attaches the photograph to the e-mail note in its original format.
