To send an item using an e-mail application:

•

Repeat the steps as described for faxing an item in the preceding 
procedure, except, drag the item onto your 

e-mail link

 icon on 

the Link Bar. 

If you are attaching items to an e-mail message, the e-mail software 
starts. After you log in, the item appears as an attachment to the 
e-mail message. 

3.

When your fax 
software starts, send 
the scanned item as 
a fax. 

This example shows 
the Symantec 
WinFax PRO 
window for sending 
a fax. The window 
that appears on your 
computer will be for 
your fax software.

Note: 

To send an item to a link from Page View, choose Links from 

the File menu, and then choose the name of the link application.

Note: 

When you send an item as an e-mail message, you can make 

the message self-viewing. Recipients of the e-mail message can view 
the attached PaperPort item even if PaperPort is not installed on their 
computers. To create this type of e-mail attachment, choose Self 
Viewing Files as the Send Format in the Links preferences, before 
you send the item. For more information, see the online Help.
