3Device E-mail Address This is the product’s e-mail address that appears in product alerts. This is not the e-mail address that you want to use when sending commands to the product. See “Sending e-mail commands to the product” on page 28.

Configuring outgoing e-mail

You must configure outgoing e-mail if you intend to use the Alerts or AutoSend features.

1Gather the following information. (Your organization’s network or e-mail administrator typically provides the information that is required to configure outgoing mail.)

•The IP address of the simple mail transfer protocol (SMTP) mail server on your network. The EWS uses the SMTP server IP address to relay e-mail messages to other computers.

•The e-mail domain name suffix that is used to address e-mail messages within your organization.

2Select the Enable Outgoing E-mail check box.

3Type the SMTP server IP address in the SMTP Server text box.

4Type the domain name, and then click Apply to save the changes.

Configuring incoming e-mail

You should configure incoming e-mail if you intend to request information pages from the product by using e-mail messages. For more information, see “Sending e-mail commands to the product” on page 28.

1Establish a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) mailbox account for the product on a mail server within your organization’s network.

Each POP3 account requires a username and a password. The username combined with the product’s domain name (which is specified in the outgoing mail configuration) is the e-mail address for the product. For example, if the POP3 mailbox account username is “product” and the POP3 server is “hp.com”, the product’s e-mail address is “product@hp.com”.

2Select the Enable Incoming E-mail check box.

3Type the IP address of the POP3 mail server in the POP3 Server text box.

4Type username and password for the product’s mailbox account, and then click Apply to save the changes.
