E-mail at a Glance
E-mail Overview
What is E-mail?
The E-mail feature enables you to convert a hardcopy document into a PDF (Portable Document Format), single or
multi-page TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) attachment and send it to an e-mail server to be distributed to
individual or multiple e-mail addresses.
The printer functions as an e-mail client like any other SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) e-mail client mapped
to an e-mail server. In other words, the printer E-mail feature is no different than the MS (MicroSoft) Outlook client
on your PC (Personal Computer), which is mapped to an MS Exchange server. The MS Outlook client converts
your electronic e-mail messages into a format that the Exchange server can process. The printer E-mail feature
performs the same function but with hard copy documents.
What options are enabled with E-mail?
The E-mail feature enables the following options:
• SMTP e-mail from the printer - Users have the ability to convert hard copy documents into an e-mail
message. The scanned document is placed in the e-mail message as an attachment.
• Authentication Support – If enabled, Authentication requires users to log into the machine using their
network login name and password in order to gain access to the printer E-mail features.
• Internal Address Book Support (LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) - The printer can
search your internal company address book, if available, saving valuable time and reducing errors
associated with key stroking in every address.
• Public Address Book Support - Users have the ability to download a CSV (Comma Separated Values)
file to the printer's internal hard disk drive. This public address book allows the user to search for an
address that would not normally be loaded in their internal company address book.
