| 508639 | 2006-12-22 00:07:00 | I have recently started using an HP F380 All-in-One. It includes facility to Scan to Email, so I have tried to send copies of documents that include small pictures, expecting a result similar to faxing. However, the recipient gets a huge image of the document when he views the message. I have tried with .jpg, .tif, .bmp etc but without success. Is it possible to use the HP All-in-One to achieve the same result as a fax - i.e. the received image is a 1:1 (or close) copy of the original. Thanks, Bill |

| 508641 | 2006-12-23 20:54:00 | File sizes for the resulting scan of an A4 document are around 2-300KB for .jpg, 30-150KB for .gif, and a huge 900+kb for .tif! | BillT (1718) | ||
| 508642 | 2006-12-23 21:01:00 | For jpg file of an A4 scan, I would say your not going to get much smaller than that simply due to the size of an A4 doc. Do you have the option of saving the file direct to PDF format? I know my HP all in one will save a scan direct to PDF. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 508643 | 2006-12-24 21:13:00 | Hi WinMacGuy, 1. The file size for jpg is not a big issue, the real problem is at the recipient end where the email shows a larger-than-life image of the document. THat is what I am trying to solve. 2. Yes, the scanner can do PDF. If I use that (I haven't tried it yet), will I have to "attach" the document in OE rather than have the scanner put it direct into an email? Cheers, Bill |
