In the technical data sheet at Kyocera

http://cdn.kyostatics.net/dlc/eu/documentation/datasheet/kyocera-m6256cdnseries-datasheet-view-131212.-downloadcenteritem-Single-File.downloadcenteritem.tmp/KYO_Gemini_DS_M...n_ISOc_View.pdf

I found in particular (excerpt)
"SCAN FUNCTIONS ... Functionality: Scan-to-e-mail"
(and many more).

Accordingly I think what I worote about
"powerful network printer scanner copier all-in-one device"
in "Scanning via Network" at
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Configuring_Scanners
matches perfectly here.


Only FYI a side note regarding printing:

The above mentioned technical data sheet at Kyocera also reads
"PRINT FUNCTIONS ... Emulations: ... KPDL 3 (PostScript 3 compatible),
  PDF Direct Print 1.7"

See "PostScript+PDF printers" at
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Printer_buying_guide

As far as I know what is currently missing for direct PDF printing
are PPD files that support PDF printing directly, see
https://bugs.linuxfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1234

I don't know if Kyocera perhaps already provides a PPD file for
their ECOSYS M6526cdn model that supports direct PDF printing.

Cf. HP devices that support direct PDF printing:
