If necessary, you can save an E-mail attachment in a User Box of the machine.

To change the print setting each time you sent an E-mail, enter a predetermined setting value into the Subject field of an E-mail in your E-mail program, and configure the desired print setting.
Enter the setting value in the "setting value@" format into the Subject field.

If the copy program is specified, its settings are prioritized, and other individual settings are disabled.
Receiving an E-mail on the machine and print a file
