Gmail accounts and i j scan

[woodydixon]

I am trying to scan thru i j scan and send with email. In settings my only choices are microsoft outlook, manually attach or add. When i click add it goes to file explorer and is looking for a filename. Hoe do I get i j scan to recognize that I use gmail and then after scanning prompt me for the email.address I want to send the scan to?

Hi woodydixon,

Scanning directly to a Gmail account is not supported with the PIXMA MX490.

Please scan the item and save it to your computer.  Once saved, please open a new message in Gmail and attach the saved scan manually to the new email message.

You can use the IJ Scan Utility to scan.  For more information regarding the IJ Scan Utility, please use this link:
