Preface 16
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Sending an E-Mail With the Scanned Image
(Scan to E-mail)
When you want to send scanned data by e-mail,
use the Scan to E-mail feature. You can directly
send the data scanned as an e-mail attachment.
You can choose destination e-mail addresses
from the address book on the printer or server.
Or, you can enter the address from the printer’s
operator panel using the numeric keypad.
For more information, see “Sending an E-Mail
With the Scanned Image” on page 180.
Scanning to Network (Scan to SMB)
You can transfer data scanned to a PC or a server
via SMB without service software. Although
prior registration of the destination PC on the
address book is required, it helps save your time.
For more information, see “Using a Scanner on
the Network” on page 158.
Scanning to a USB Storage Device
You don’t need a computer to connect your USB
storage device to save the scanned data. Insert
your USB storage device in the port on the
printer, and save the scanned data directly to
your USB storage device.
For more information, see “Scanning to a USB
Storage Device” on page 179.
Making Copies From the Document Glass

You can scan the pages of a book or a brochure
from the document glass. When you scan
documents using the document glass, place
them face down.
For more information, see “Making Copies
From the Document Glass” on page 126.
Preface 17
Epson AcuLaser CX29 Series User’s Guide
Making Copies From the ADF (Scan From
ADF)
You can scan pieces of unbound paper using the
automatic document feeder (ADF). When you
scan documents using the ADF, load them face
up.
For more information, see “Making Copies
From the ADF” on page 129.
Address Book
Sending a Fax from the Driver (Direct Fax)

You can directly send faxes from your PC using
the fax driver. You can specify the fax settings
like the normal fax. Also, you can specify the
recipient’s fax number using the numeric
keypad, or the address book or phone book.
For more information, see “Sending a Fax from
the Driver (Direct Fax)” on page 202.
Address Book simplifies the recipient
specification. You can use the address book on
the printer as well as on the server. Select the
desired address or fax number from the address
book when using the Scan to E-mail or Scan to
Network feature, or sending faxes.
For more information, see “Address Book
Editor” on page 54.
