I just recently scanned my first document on my new Brothers MFC. It is a 97 trust document I want to e-mail to my partner but I get an error message announceing that the SIZE of the attachment (71megs) is too large. I can't seem to find a way to partition off 10 pages at a time to email. The document was created in pdf format.

Any suggestions? I don't want to fax the darn thing.

AR AR50..... There are easier ways to transfer that info than Email.......
If you have MSN messenger ....and your partner does as well ....sign on ,then when your both  are on  transfer it to them that way ......
It's quick and easy .
You can do the same thing with Skype.

Thanks. We'll try this. Appreciate your help.
That Brothers MFC has fax capability, doesn't it?  So, why you didn't just fax it in the first place.  You don't have to feed sheets through one at a time, do you?Didn't want to fax, long distance costs plus their fax machine can only store 25 sheets of paper at a time. Problematic.

ThnxMost, if not all, instant messaging programs will allow sending FILES.  This includes Windows Messenger, which is part of all Windows computers.  Another MICROSOFT tool that can be activated in Windows computers and used to transfer files is NetMeeting.Super. I think he has NetMeeting, but definetly will try Windows messanger.

But I do have a question. People send these large picture files by e-mail. How come they don't get blocked? I am sure they use up some Megs?
 Curious.


ThnxI suspect your ISP or the recipient's ISP has a limit on file size that can be sent by email.  Individual photos would not be anywhere NEAR the 71megs you mentioned for your file.  2MB would be large for a photo, although I guess photos taken with high Megapixel cameras might be significantly bigger than 2MB.  Even if they're 5MB, that's still a small fraction of the size of your scanned document.gotcha. Makes sense.

Thnx
