Introduction

Enable or disable the Cartridge Policy feature

Enable or disable the Cartridge Protection feature
Introduction
Use HP Cartridge Policy and Cartridge Protection to control which cartridges are installed in the printer and protect the cartridges that are installed from theft.
Cartridge Policy: This feature protects the printer from counterfeit toner cartridges by allowing only
genuine HP cartridges to be used with the printer. Using genuine HP cartridges ensures the best possible print quality. When someone installs a cartridge that is not a genuine HP cartridge, the printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is unauthorized and it provides information explaining how to proceed.
Cartridge Protection: This feature permanently associates toner cartridges with a specific printer, or
fleet of printers, so they cannot be used in other printers. Protecting cartridges protects your investment. When this feature is enabled, if someone attempts to transfer a protected cartridge from the original printer into an unauthorized printer, that printer will not print with the protected cartridge. The printer control panel displays a message that the cartridge is protected, and it provides information explaining how to proceed.
CAUTION: After enabling cartridge protection for the printer, all subsequent toner cartridges installed
in the printer are automatically and permanently protected. To avoid protecting a new cartridge, disable the feature before installing the new cartridge.
Turning the feature off does not turn off protection for cartridges that are currently installed.
Both features are off by default. Follow these procedures to enable or disable them.

Method one: Use the Scan to Email Wizard (Windows)

Method two: Set up the Scan to Email feature via the HP Embedded Web Server (Windows)
Set up the Scan to E-mail feature on a Mac
Introduction
The printer has a feature that enables it to scan a document and send it to one or more email addresses. To use this scan feature, the printer must be connected to a network; however, the feature is not available until it has been configured. There are two methods for configuring Scan to Email, the Scan to Email Setup Wizard (Windows), which is installed in the HP program group for the printer as part of the full software installation in Windows 7, and the Scan to Email Setup through the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS). Use the following information to set up the Scan to Email feature.
Before you begin
To 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.
Method one: Use the Scan to Email Wizard (Windows)
Some HP printers include driver installation from a software CD. At the end of this installation is an option to
Setup Scan to Folder and Email. The setup wizards include the options for basic configuration.
NOTE: Some operating systems do not support the Scan to Email Wizard.

and SSL settings from the service provider’s website or other sources. Typically, for Gmail, the SMTP address is smtp.gmail.com, port number 465, and the SSL should be enabled.
Method two: Set up the Scan to Email
Please refer to online sources to confirm these server settings are current and valid at the time of configuration.
8. If you are using Google™ Gmail for email service, select the Always use secure connection (SSL/TLS)
