Support Scanners DS Series Epson DS-870

How do I use my product's control panel to automatically email a scanned item?

  • If your product is connected to a network, you can set up a job in Document Capture Pro (Windows) or Document Capture (Mac) to automatically send a scanned item to Outlook or MAPI-enabled email applications. To set up a job for this purpose, see the instructions below for your version of the software.

    Note: Make sure your Epson product and computer are connected to the same network.

    Note: The scanner supports a wired network connection only. To connect your scanner to the network with a wired connection, you need the optional Epson Network Interface Unit (B12B808441).
