It says the functionality is Windows only, and needs to be configured using a Windows program. Okay, that's probably bullshit, but ... The Dell is programmed via its web interface, and will scan to any CIFS share. But as I say, I'm sure when I've investigated in the past, it's always required software on the computer to do the scan or email - oh - the AIO manual says they can scan TO AN EMAIL PROGRAM. They can't "scan to email" as I understand it ... it sounds like it fires up Outlook or whatever, and sticks the scan in as an attachment. It doesn't sound like it will talk to an email server and send an email with the scan attached. Cheers, Wol
