Setting E-mail/I-Fax Communication

To directly send scanned documents via e-mail/I-fax without going through a computer, you need to configure communication settings such as a mail server, authentication methods, etc. Generally, an SMTP server is used for sending, and an SMTP server or a POP3 sever is used for receiving. You can set encoding and other parameters. For details about necessary settings, contact the Internet service provider or network administrators.

Enter the registered host name at the right of the @ mark. <SMTP Server> Enter an SMTP server name (or an IP address). After specifying the settings, check the connection for <SMTP>. When [Password] is specified in [Use SMTP Authentication (SMTP AUTH)] on the Remote UI, if you want to change and register the server address in [SMTP Server], entering the password in [Password] in [Use SMTP Authentication (SMTP AUTH)] is required. <Use POP RX> Press <On> when you want to receive e-mails and I-faxes using a POP3 server. <Use SMTP RX> Press <On> when you want to make the machine an SMTP server to receive e-mails and I-faxes. Be aware that you cannot receive via SMTP if you don't register the host name of the machine on the DNS server.

Setting POP authentication before sending

POP authentication before sending (POP before SMTP) is a confirmation of users by the POP server (reception mail server) before sending, which is a function to block unauthorized e-mails sent by third parties.

Specify each item.

Set the authentication methods of the POP3 server. To encode the password during authentication, select <APOP>. To authenticate users when receiving mail (POP), select <POP AUTH>.

To perform authentication using the POP3 server, press <On>.

Setting SMTP authentication

SMTP authentication (SMTP AUTH) verifies users by checking user names and passwords when e-mails are sent. It can also encode SMTP communication (sent and received).

Specify each item.

To use SMTP authentication, press <On>, enter the user name and password of the specified mail accounts in <User Name> and <Password>.

User name and password

<User Name> and <Password> for <SMTP Authentication> are also used when forwarding received documents.

Forwarding is performed as "Fixed Device Authentication" regardless of the <Information Used for SMTP Server Authentication> settings. (<Information Used for SMTP Server Authentication>)

When sending e-mails and I-faxes, to display the user name and password entry screen, press <On>.
