Guide to scanning documents to email using a Sharp MultiFunction Device (MFD)

Scan documents to email

In addition to print and photocopying, Sharp MFDs offer a Scan to email function that allows a physical hardcopy document to be converted into a digital format document. Documents are sent by email to your @cam.ac.uk email address with a copy of the scan attached.  

To use Scan to email first log in to the MFD.
