How do you attach more than one item using the scan direct to email feature.

The CanoScan liDE 60 scanner has a scan direct to email featrure which is fine except only one item can be attached to one email. So if you want to attach three items you have to send three emails. Is there a solution or is this just the way it is with this inexpensive but capable scanner?

what type of files are you trying to send? doc, tif, pics, etc..??

Thanks Seahawk,
Mostly I am attaching word documents to emails although occasionally I might attach a picture. The scan direct to email is handy but it seems like there should be a way to make two attachments to the same email.

the easiest way to do this I guess would be to use your email and attach how ever many docs you want to email.

this info is not for your specific scanner but it may help

Quote:

The 'Scan & Fax' function in COMMUNICATE! DELUXE program will allow you to send single pages. If you need to scan multiple pages, then you will have to break the process into two steps.

Scan images
Right click on the COMMUNICATE! DELUXE main phone interface. Go into 'File' and then click on 'Scan Image'. This will prompt you for a filename. Type scan2.tif (notice the path where this file is being saved).
Then go through the scanning procedure.
Repeat the above scanning process for other documents and give different names for different documents e.g. scan3.tif scan4.tif etc.

Fax
Once all the pages have been scanned, click on 'Send Fax' button. Click on 'Insert' button for Files-to-send. Find those scanned files (scan2.tif etc.) and add to the Send dialog.

hope this help in some way
