SING A UNCTION
With the ScanDirect F8 Fax function key, you can send a scanned item to
your fax software by just pressing one key. To scan and fax, your computer
must have a fax modem and fax software installed.
To use the ScanDirect Fax function key:
1. Press the F8 key.
2. Insert the item into the scanner. The scanner scans the item, and then
the PaperPort software converts it to a compatible format for the fax
application. The fax application starts.
3. Use your electronic fax software as you usually do. For example, you
will probably be asked to address the fax and add a message.
TIP: You can also scan directly to your fax software by choosing Fax as
the target application from the ScanDirect To menu or in the Scan
Settings dialog box.

CANNING AN TEM
When you send an item using an e-mail link, the PaperPort software starts the
e-mail application, creates a new e-mail message, and automatically attaches
the item to the message.
TIP: To obtain the smallest file size for a scanned text item (and
therefore decrease the time it takes to send the item as an e-mail
message), scan documents using the Filing Articles mode.
