Then the scangear results need to be massaged extensively so you can attach it to an email as the typical scan is huge / photo quality and no options to produce something like my Ricoh copier does with a scan to pdf / email. I will not buy Cannon products again. > Regards, > > Meikel > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
