How can set up scan to email to my outlook account?

Question

Hello all,

I am using a xerox printer with scan to email capability. I want to use my outlook/hotmail account to where I want to scan my documents directly to. The information that setting this up asks for is SMTP Server, Outgoing SMTP Port number, Connection Security (STARTTLS or SSL/TLS) and Outgoing SMTP Authentication.

Where do I get this information?

Hi @Geroge TKo ,

Welcome!

About the "scan to email" feature you mentioned, you could check the link @Anonymous provided above, it gives a detailed explanation about that feature.

By the way, about the server information of outlook/hotmail account, you could get them from this link: POP, IMAP, and SMTP settings for Outlook.com.

Hope this can be helpful.

Most email system are switching to require oauth and MFA. Your scanner probably does not support this newer protocol requirement. You will need to install SMTP proxy that supports outgoing oauth.

Never used but here is sample code:

Note: google smtp oauth proxy for more candidates.
