The function allows a user to digitize hard copy documents directly from a Brother scanning device and deliver them as electronic files to specified email addresses. For example, a user can place a document on the scanner, initiate the scan, and the resulting digital file will be sent as an attachment to the recipient’s inbox without needing to save it locally first.
This feature streamlines document management workflows, reduces reliance on physical storage, and enhances collaboration by facilitating immediate sharing of scanned materials. Historically, such functionalities were less integrated, requiring multiple steps, including saving scans to a computer and then manually attaching them to emails. The current streamlined approach saves time and reduces the risk of misplacing or losing important documents.
