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: The Scan to Email Wizard is only available in the Windows 7 operating system.

Before starting
Make sure that the printer was fully set up before connecting the fax service.
NOTE: Use the telephone cable and any adapters that shipped with the printer to connect the printer to the
telephone jack.
NOTE: In countries/regions that use serial telephone systems, an adapter is shipped with the printer. Use
the adapter to connect other telecom devices to the same telephone jack the printer is connected to.

Step 4: Run a fax test on page 88.
Step 1: Identify the phone connection type
Review the following equipment and service types to determine which setup method to use. The method
used depends on the equipment and services already installed on the phone system.
NOTE: The printer is an analog device. HP recommends using the printer on a dedicated analog telephone
line.
●
Dedicated phone line: The printer is the only piece of equipment or service connected to the phone line
●
Voice calls: Voice and fax calls use the same phone line
●
Answering machine: An answering machine answers voice calls on the same phone line used for fax
calls
●
Voice mail: A voice-mail subscription service uses the same phone line as the fax
●
Distinctive ring service: A service from the telephone company that allows several phone numbers to
be associated with one phone line, and each number has a different ring pattern; the printer detects the
ring pattern assigned to it and answers the call
●
Computer dial-up modem: A computer uses the phone line to connect to the Internet through a dial-up
connection
●
DSL line: A digital subscriber line (DSL) service from the telephone company; this service might be called
ADSL in some countries/regions
82 Chapter 7 Fax ENWW
●
PBX or ISDN phone system: A private branch exchange (PBX) phone system or an integrated services
