Attaching a Scan to Email
You can attach a scanned image to an email as a file attachment.
Note: Your email app and account settings should be configured before scanning. You must install a
MAPI-type email program such as Outlook Express, Windows Live Mail, Entourage, or Mac Mail. Attach
to Email only supports 32-bit MAPI-compatible mail apps. Web-based email services such as Gmail are
not supported. If you see an error message, your email app may not be compatible and you will need to
save the scans and manually attach the file to an email.
1. Make sure your originals are scanned and reviewed. See the link below.

How do I change the printer screen language back to English?
I need to scan some pages and copy them to my laptop. On my old printer, it was very easy to attach a thumb drive to my printer, then attach it to my computer. Can't find a way to do this, or to get scanned pages transferred. The printer is set up as a wireless printer. What equipment and setup do I need? Please advise.

The scanner isn't detecting the document in the feeder
The Epson ET-3850 scanner is not detecting the document in the feeder because it mistakenly thinks the document is placed on the scanner glass instead of the feeder. This issue may be due to an error in the automatic document feeder (ADF) sensor or settings. A possible workaround is to turn off the printer, turn it back on, reselect the settings, and ensure the ADF light is on before placing the document back in the feeder.
