Just downloaded an AIO manual (3050 series). It says the functionality |
| 17 |
is Windows only, and needs to be configured using a Windows program. |
| 18 |
Okay, that's probably bullshit, but ... |

The Dell is programmed via its web interface, and will scan to any CIFS |
| 21 |
share. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
But as I say, I'm sure when I've investigated in the past, it's always |
| 24 |
required software on the computer to do the scan or email - oh - the AIO |
| 25 |
manual says they can scan TO AN EMAIL PROGRAM. They can't "scan to |
| 26 |
email" as I understand it ... it sounds like it fires up Outlook or |
| 27 |
whatever, and sticks the scan in as an attachment. It doesn't sound like |
| 28 |
it will talk to an email server and send an email with the scan attached. |
