Scan to E-mail is a great way to scan documents and have them sent directly to your inbox. From there, you can forward them easily or download the files to your device.

Entering E-mail (SMTP) Settings From the Web Connection

The network setting for the MFP can be configured by means of the Web Connection. This will allow you to change or update settings from any computer that is connected to the same network as the MFP. For details on configuring these settings by this means, see this link.

TIPS:

• Under most circumstances, you must have a valid email account for the MFP to send emails. Select one email account/address to use as the email that will be sending. All emails sent from the MFP will use this email account/address.
• MFP must be configured with the appropriate network settings for Scan to email to function. This includes but is not limited to having a valid IP address and valid DNS server. See this link for details on configuration.

Common Problems

• DNS server is not entered – If a valid DNS server is not saved into the MFP, the MFP will not be able to communicate with the Email server. Verify that a valid DNS server is saved into the MFP. See this link for details on configuration.
• Incorrect Default Gateway – If a Default Gateway is not saved into the MFP or if the Default Gateway is incorrect, the MFP will not be able to communicate with the Email server. Verify that all IPv4 settings are correctly entered into the MFP. See this link for details on configuration.
• GMail – By default, Gmail does not allow SMTP access. This means at first you may not be able to use your Konica Minolta to scan to email with Gmail without changing the default setting.  
  • Go to your Google Account.
  • On the left navigation panel, click Security.
  • On the bottom of the page, in the Less secure app access panel, click Turn on access.
