Configure the device to send e-mail

Before you can send a document to e-mail, you must configure the device for e-mailing.

NOTE: You can also configure the e-mail settings by using the embedded Web server, which HP recommends. For helpful tips and more about configuring the scan e-mail feature, see the Embedded Web Server User Guide on the device documentation CD.

Supported protocols

SMTP

●Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is a set of rules that define the interaction between programs that send and receive e-mail. In order for the device to send documents to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that has a valid SMTP IP address. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.

●If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL connection, contact the service provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.

LDAP

●Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) is used to gain access to a database of information. When the device uses LDAP, it searches a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses an auto-complete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you type. As you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.

●The device supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the device to be able to send to e-mail.

NOTE: If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them by using the embedded Web server. For more information, see the Embedded Web Server User Guide on the device CD.

Configure e-mail server settings

Consult a network administrator or internet service provider (ISP) for the IP address or the name of the SMTP server. Or, find the IP address from the device control panel (touch Network Address). Then use the following procedures to manually configure and test the IP address.
