How to associate file to send via e-mail

[DavidFG1]

How do I get a document from the printer or a file to associate with an e-mail address and send it?

@DavidFG1 

The easier method, and hopefully this works as expected:  Use HP Smart for Windows and "scan" the document you want to send via email.

• Open Windows Mail (installed on your computer) > Add your email address to the Mail software

NOTE: 

The address you use for this cannot be tied to Two-Step verification

and / or

If two-step verification is employed, it might be possible to set "Apps Password"

Both of these are controlled at your email and not on the computer.

• Open HP Smart for Windows application
• Select Scan document (for example)
• If you want to "scan" an item / document located on the printer, Select the source as "Scanner"
• Scan the item / document

           OR

• If you want to "scan" an item / document located on your computer, Select the source as "Import"
• Select the item / document to be imported (Select folder and item / document) and Open

• If the option is provided, adjust the Boundaries / Reset the boundaries (to default) > Click Apply
• Once the item is scanned / selected and showing in the display menu, Click Share
• Select "Mail" > and Select the email address you are using to send the message / attached scan
• Fill in the recipient(s) information (email address(es)) of those to whom you are sending the message / scan
• Add any text / message in the body (below the gray line and attachment)
• Click Send (upper right corner of the mail window)

The more complicated method, though it might end up being necessary:  ePrint
