Konica Scan to hosted email

Konica Scan to hosted email

The Scan to E-mail is a function that transmits original data scanned on this machine as E-mail attachment.

Since this machine supports S/MIME and SSL/TLS encryption, and POP before SMTP authentication, security can be assured.

When the LDAP server or Active Directory is used for user management, you can search for or specify E-mail address from the server.

When using the Scan to E-mail, follow the below procedure to configure the settings.

  1. Configure settings for connecting to the network such as setting of the IP address of this machine

    • For details on configuring the setting, refer to Here.

  2. Configure basic settings for Scan to E-mail
