Scanning | How do I email my scan?

First see our instructions on how to scan if you haven't yet scanned your document (eg letter or photo).

If you intend to email the resulting scan file APNK recommends you change the settings on the scanner - the smaller the size the faster and easier to send or upload. See our instructions on how to reduce the file size of a scan for more information on this part of the process.

The next step is to attach the file to your email either on an APNK public computer or via your laptop.  Depending on how you have scanned your file you can either access it from the scanner shortcut on the desktop of an APNK public computer OR from your USB flash drive. Again - see our scanning instructions.
