- Open an email client and enter print@wepanow.com in the ‘To:’ field
- Attach a supported file type to the email.
- Optionally, set options like “Color” or “Duplex” in the email body. Refer to the Email-To-Print support article for more details about how to set print options by email.
- An email reply should appear shortly in the Inbox with the status of the upload attempt. If successful, a ‘Wepa Code’ will be available like below. Click the ‘Edit Options’ on the right to change the print settings:
