In Windows 10, the search bar is right next to the Start button. In previous versions of Windows, the search bar might be inside the Start menu. If you’d rather not search, Windows Fax and Scan is available via the Start menu in every version of Windows: Windows 10: Start > Accessories Windows 8: Start Screen > Apps Windows 7: Start > ​All Programs Now you can decide what you can do with the document by clicking on one of the options from left to right within the blue menu bar at the top of the window:

Select Forward as Fax to fax the scanned document to one or more recipients within Windows Fax and Scan.Select Forward as E-Mail to send the scanned document as a file attachment in an e-mail message that you can send to one or more people.

Select Save As to open the Save As window so you can save the document with another name, in another ​graphics file format, or in another folder.

Even if you don’t do anything with the document or photo you scanned, Windows Fax and Scan saves your scan automatically as a file so you can view past scans at any time when you open the program. View a file by selecting the document or photo name within the file list. The scanned text or photo appears in the document pane, so you can confirm that the file contains what you expect. Then you can perform any sending or saving tasks I discussed earlier.
