scanning to mail
Why is mail no longer an option to scan to? I have a macbook with Catalina and a Canon Pixma printer. Worked fine scanning to emails until recently
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Hi lizhag,
Per the support article Scan images or documents using a scanner and your Mac:
"In most cases, the scanned files are saved on your computer. To find out the exact location where the files are saved, or how to choose another location, see your scanner documentation. Also see your scanner documentation for information about how to save scanned files in specific file formats to send or transfer to others."
In order for scanned documents to be added to an email message, that would need to be a configurable option in your scanner software or setup.
Also regarding scanning directly into email, Add attachments to emails in Mail on Mac offers directions with a link on using an iPhone or iPad to scan documents directly into an email:
- "For photos, click the Photo Browser button
in the toolbar, then drag a photo into your message. You can also take a photo or scan documents, or add a sketch, using your nearby iPhone or iPad."
Regards.
