HP LaserJet M4345xm User Manual

							8 Scan and send to e-mail
The device offers color-scanning and digital-sending capabilities. By using the control panel, you can
scan black-and-white or color documents and send them to an e-mail address as an e-mail
attachment. To use digital sending, the device must be connected to a local area network (LAN). The
device connects directly to your LAN.
NOTEThe device cannot copy or print in color, but it can scan and send color images.

							Configure e-mail settings
Before you can send a document to e-mail, you must configure the device \
for e-mailing. 
NOTEThe instructions that follow are for configuring the device at the control panel. You
can also perform these procedures by using the embedded Web server. For more information,
see 
Embedded Web server .
Supported protocols
The HP LaserJet M4345 MFP models support  Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The HP
LaserJet M4345 MFP models support SMTP  and Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP).
SMTP
● SMTP is a set of rules that define the
 interaction between programs that send and receive e-
mail. In order for the device to send documents  to e-mail, it must be connected to a LAN that
has a valid SMTP IP address. The SMTP server must also have Internet access.
● If you are using a LAN connection, contact your system administrator to obtain the IP address
for your SMTP server. If you are connecting through a DSL connection, contact the service
provider to obtain the SMTP server IP address.
LDAP
● LDAP is used to gain access to a database of information. When the device uses LDAP, it
searches a global list of e-mail addresses. As you begin to type the e-mail address, LDAP uses
an auto-complete feature that supplies a list of e-mail addresses that match the characters you
type. As you type additional characters, the list of matching e-mail addresses becomes smaller.
● The device supports LDAP, but a connection to an LDAP server is not required in order for the
device to be able to send to e-mail.
NOTE If you need to change the LDAP settings, you must change them by using the
embedded Web server. For more information, see 
Embedded Web server , or see the
Embedded Web Server User Guide  on the device CD.
Configure e-mail server settings
Consult your system administrator to find the IP address for the SMTP server. Or, find the IP address
from the device control panel (see ). Then use the following procedures to manually configure and
test the IP address.
Configure the SMTP gateway address
1.From the Home screen, touch  Administration.
2. Touch  Initial Setup .
3. Touch  E-mail Setup , and then touch  SMTP Gateway.
4. Type the SMTP gateway address, either as an IP  address or as a fully qualified domain name. If
you do not know the IP address  or domain name, contact the network administrator.
5. Touch  OK.

							Test the SMTP settings
1.From the Home screen, touch  Administration.
2. Touch  Initial Setup .
3. Touch  E-mail Setup , and then touch  Test Send Gateways .
If the configuration is correct,  Gateways OK appears on the control-panel display.
If the first test was successful, send an e-mail  to yourself by using the digital-send feature. If you
receive the e-mail, you have successfully configured the digital-sending feature.
If you do not receive the e-mail, use these  actions to resolve issues with the digital-sending software:
● Check the SMTP and address to make sure that you typed them correctly.
● Print a configuration page. Verify that the SMTP gateway address is correct.
● Make sure that the network is operating correctly. 
Send an e-mail to yourself from a computer. If
you receive the e-mail, the network is operating  correctly. If you do not receive the e-mail,
contact your network administrator or Internet service provider (ISP).
● Run the DISCOVER.EXE file. This program attempts to find the gateway. You can download the
file from the HP Web site at 
http://www.hp.com/support/ljm4345mfp
.
Find gateways
If you do not know the SMTP gateway address, you can use one of the following methods to find it.
Find the SMTP gateway from  the device control panel
1.From the Home screen, touch  Administration.
2. Touch  Initial Setup .
3. Touch  E-mail Setup , and then touch  Find Send Gateways .
The touchscreen displays a list of detected SMTP servers.
4. Select the correct SMTP server, and then touch  OK.
Find the SMTP gateway from an e-mail program
Because most e-mail programs also use SMTP to send e-mail and LDAP to address e-mail
messages, you might be able to find the hostname  of the SMTP gateway and LDAP server by
looking at the settings for your e-mail program.
NOTE The find gateway features might be unable to detect a valid SMTP server on the
network if it uses an internet service provider  (ISP). To find the ISP e-mail server address,
contact the ISP.

							Perform basic e-mail functions
The device e-mail feature offers the following benefits:
●Sends documents to multiple e-mail addresses, saving time and delivery costs.
● Delivers files in black-and-white or in color. Files can be sent in different file formats that the
recipient can manipulate.
With e-mail, documents are scanned into the device memory and sent to an e-mail address or
multiple addresses as an e-mail attachment. Digital  documents can be sent in several graphics
formats, such as .TFF and .JPG, which allows recipients to manipulate the document file in various
programs to meet their specific needs. Documents arrive in near-original\
 quality, and then can be
printed, stored, or forwarded.
In order to use the e-mail feature, the device  needs to be connected to a valid SMTP local area
network that includes Internet access.
Load documents
You can scan a document by using either the  glass or the ADF. The glass and ADF can
accommodate Letter-, Executive-, A4-, and A5-size originals. The ADF can also accommodate Legal-
size originals. Smaller originals, receipts, irregular  and worn documents, stapled documents,
previously folded documents, and photographs should be scanned by using the glass. Multiple-page
documents can be scanned easily by using the ADF.
Send documents
The device scans both black-and-white and color originals. You can use default settings or change
the scanning preferences and file formats. The following are the default settings:
● Color
● PDF (requires the recipient to have an Adobe Acrobat viewer to view the e-mail attachment)
For information about changing the settings for the current job, see 
Change e-mail settings for the
current job .
Send a document
1. Place the document face-down on the scanner glass or face-up in the ADF.
2. From the Home screen, touch  E-mail.
3. If prompted, type your user name and password.
4. Complete the  From:, To:, and  Subject: fields. Scroll down and complete the  CC:, BCC: , and
Message  fields if appropriate. Your user name or other default information might appear in the
From:  field. If so, you might not be able to change it.
5. (Optional) Touch  More Options to change the settings for  the document that you are sending
(for example, the document’s original size). If  you are sending a two-sided document, you
should select  Sides and an option with a two-sided original.
6. Press  Start to begin sending.
7. When you are finished, remove the original  document from the scanner glass or ADF.

							Use the auto-complete function
When you type characters into the To:, CC:, or From:  fields on the Send E-mail screen, the auto-
complete function is activated. As you type the required address or name by using the keyboard
screen, the device automatically searches the address book  list and completes the address or name
by using the first match. You can then select that name by touching  Enter, or continue typing the
name until auto-complete finds the correct entry. If you type a character that does not match any
entry in the list, the auto-complete text is removed from the display to indicate that you are typing an
address that is not in the address book.
