Introduction of Scan to Email

To set up the Scan to Email feature, you must access the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS).The following sections contain

instructions on how to access the EWS and set up the Scan to Email feature, including steps to add contacts to the email

address book, and configure the default email settings. Begin by reviewing the information in the “Before you begin” section,

and then follow the steps in the order presented.

Before you begin

Before you can set up the Scan to Email feature, the printer must have an active network connection to the same network as the computer

that will run the setup process.

Administrators need the following information before beginning the configuration process:

- Administrative access to the printer

- SMTP server (e.g., smtp.mycompany.com)

NOTE: If you do not know the SMTP server name, SMTP port number, or authentication information, contact the email/Internet

service provider or system administrator for the information. SMTP server names and port names are typically easy to find by doing

an Internet search. For example, use terms like “gmail smtp server name” or “yahoo smtp server name” to search.

- SMTP port number

- SMTP server authentication requirements for outgoing email messages, including the user name and password used for authentication (if applicable)

NOTE: Consult your email service provider's documentation for information on digital-sending limits for your email account.

Some providers may temporarily lock your account if you exceed your sending limit.
